Smudger is a delightful 9 year old Golden Retriever who for 2 years had been suffering with an intermittent (that was becoming more and more persistant) limp on his front leg that was having a massive impact on his joy of walking and impinging on his very happy life. He went through many tests and different treatments, including x-rays etc that showed nothing significant, was also on medication.

When Smudger came to see me he looked unhappy and that was reflected very clearly though his face and whole posture. It transpired that his neck was incredibly tight and painful and was therefore effecting his movement and displaying a lameness that had mistakenly been taken for coming from his legs and/or shoulders.
After three treatments and then three 6 weekly follow ups Smudger has regained his joire to vivre and does not display any stiffness, he now will be coming for treatment if it is felt necessary by his handler!

Smudgers handlers comment ‘if only I knew about this therapy, it would have save so much time and money on other treatments that proved ineffectual’.
