South Paw Massage and Wellness was founded in 2015 by the owner, lead therapist and board certified canine massage therapy and educational provider, Stacy Gradel. It was a car accident that lead her to this path and journey, well it turns out this was not by accident after all. This was the journey she was meant to pursue and her connection with animals and healing speaks for itself. Massage, holistic and alternative care for our pet's is in high demand and in many cases, the missing link! Professional canine massage and myotherapy are important elements of a complete wellness program for your dog and integrate readily with all forms of canine health care, complementing Veterinary, Chiropractic, and Accupuncture. Whether you have an elderly dog, an athlete, a show dog, a hurt dog, or simply a beloved pet companion, massage therapy restores, maintains and enhances your pets overall physical and emotional well being. Our therapists have advanced training in canine skeletal anatomy, advanced canine muscle anatomy, other canine anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, pathologies, common conditions and various massage and muscle therapies. Our team has experience in myofascial release therapy, trigger point therapy, lymphatic drainage, passive range therapies, and strength and balance therapy… (yes, we were trained at a school specifically for canines!) Our work also involves basic obedience, relaxation and most importantly, communication and trust building with our shy and fearful pets.
