So lovely to catch back up with Tui and her fabulous mum over at K9 Adventures Cumbria for a check in and treatment.
Tui is a lovely and lively girl who lives with sore elbows and hips, but she doesn't it slow her down! Unfortunately, this means her body can get very tight and very sore in a lot of different places.
Myotherapy treatment helps manage Tui's discomfort and eases that tension, meaning she can still enjoy her next adventure.
She was definitely happy to see me, falling asleep and completely giving herself over to treatment in a way she has never done before, which was so lovely to see. Hopefully she will be feeling so much better.
See you next time Tui x

What is the Difference Between Acute and Chronic Pain?

Understanding whether a condition is acute or chronic helps veterinary professionals and therapists choose the most appropriate treatment and rehabilitation approach.
Acute conditions develop suddenly and are often associated with recent pain, inflammation, heat, or swelling — such as a recent injury or conditions that require surgical intervention.

Chronic conditions develop over time and may involve ongoing stiffness, compensatory patterns, reduced mobility, or long-term musculoskeletal/myofascial changes.

Your veterinary surgeon diagnoses your dog’s condition, while a Galen Myotherapist helps support comfort, mobility, and wellbeing through tailored treatment approaches. Working alongside a multidisciplinary team, they can also help guide and support you throughout your dog’s care journey.

Had a great time with vet and Galen Myotherapist Marie at Goodwoof! Fabulous and extremely knowledgable vet, who has done an excellent little mini series about all things dog!

So I am back from an excellent weekend at Goodwoof, a celebration of all things dog, where I was part of the Galen Myotherapy Team helping equip guardians with just that little bit extra knowledge about how they can best support their best friends through life.
Fun, full on and definitely full of floof 🤣
Now to get back to normality.
I’ll be in touch with guardians this week to make sure we are all booked and ready for the next sessions x

Why we Myotherapists like to geek out over posture ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Posture tells you far more than symmetry and loading information — it gives you insight into how a dog is coping.

Long-standing asymmetry can tell you how the body has reorganised around discomfort.

Interpreting and understanding these subtle postural cues requires both skill, knowledge and careful observation.

When you’ve a few hours before treatments start and you SHOULD be doing admin, but the spring sunshine is calling! 🙂☀️
Having a dog with a musculoskeletal issue doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy adventures, it just means you choose them more carefully!

Wishing you and your wonderful furry families a wonderful Christmas, from our house to yours. Whether it’s peaceful and quiet or chaotic and loud, I hope it’s exactly as you desire and filled with special moments with your dogs. See you all in the new year x

“You have fixed my Spaniel too much...he's gone loco pheasanting on his walks 😝😝😝 haven't seen that for a while! X”

I love to hearing from guardians how the dogs are getting on. Tez here has been a perfect patient, and after 3 treatments seems to be feeling the benefit!
He’s a cheeky chappy too- here he is demonstrating the incorrect use of a photizo device 😂
