Your Questions, Answered

  • Canine Bodywork is hands-on therapeutic work that addresses soft tissue—muscles, fascia, connective tissue. It releases tension, improves movement, supports healing, and helps dogs feel comfortable in their bodies.

  • Massage is part of it, but bodywork goes deeper. I assess movement patterns, identify restrictions, work on specific issues, and create a plan for ongoing support.

  • No. Some dogs experience brief discomfort when I work through chronic tension (like you might during a deep tissue massage), but it shouldn't be painful. I constantly read your dog's body language and adjust.

  • Vets diagnose and treat medical conditions. I support wellness, prevent injury, aid recovery, and complement veterinary care. I don't replace your vet—I work alongside them.
