Great advise from Pawsitive Touch, the slippery ground can really make a difference to our dogs. 🐕

So at the end of our walk today I thought to myself ‘that felt like more effort then normal!’ It was a walk we do a lot - paths, cross country, uphill, downhill, flat etc. The reason it was a bit more of an effort then normal was because it was really slippy and muddy after all this rain. Without even realising I will have had multiple micro slips and my muscles and joints will have worked harder. This will be the same for you dogs - don’t underestimate the impact this wet weather could have on their joints and muscles and they may fatigue quicker and as they’re not always good at telling us! Keep an eye out for those subtle signs!

Happy new year everyone!
Wishing you all the best for 2026.
I have plenty of Saturday availability to start the new year, so please do get in touch if you’d like to book your dogs in or have a chat about how myotherapy could benefit them.
Ps, don’t forget your dogs coats to keep those muscles warm on these cold morning, and a proper warm up before any strenuous activity as well as a cool down is even more important in the cold temperatures!

Looking for canine case studies.
Good morning,
Many of you will know that I am a qualified Galen myotherapist, I offer canine massage and rehabilitation for a range of musculoskeletal conditions. My current qualification is at a level 3, and I’ve been given the opportunity to convert this to a level 4 qualification.
To do so I will be looking for three case studies, ideally a range of sizes and ages, and they need to have a range of veterinary diagnosed conditions, this could be cruciate problems, arthritis, OCD elbow/hip dysplasia etc. Ideally within a 20mile radius of CT15 4, but for the right case I’d consider further afield.
Case studies involve obtaining vet consent, an initial consultation with postural and gait assessment, three treatments, with a follow up report sent to your vet. One of the treatments will need to be filmed.
I am happy to do a discounted rate for the treatments of these case studies.
Case studies would be starting sometime in the new year.
If anyone one is able to help, or knows of a suitable candidate, please do get in touch, I’d love to hear from you.

I’d just like to take a moment to wish all my clients, and followers, both canine and human, a very happy Christmas and a peaceful new year.
Thank you for your continued support and trust.
I hope to see you in the new year.

Tongue to tail #10 the pelvic region, continuing with the glutes

Remember when we mentioned “lazy bum” in our Tongue to Tail series?

We are going to find out how you can tell if your dog has a lack of gluteal activation?

Perhaps your dog struggles with the stairs (both going up and coming down).
They may no longer want to jump, or struggle to get onto the sofa.
Visually, their "bum" may appear less "rounded."
They might even be shifting their weight forward onto their front legs and shoulders.
By regularly observing your dog, from "Tongue to Tail," you can start to notice any changes and imbalances, allowing you to address them quickly.

Tongue to tail # 10 the pelvic region, continuing with the glutes

In our last Tongue to Tail, we talked about how biomechanical imbalances in dogs can develop when the gluteal muscles aren’t engaging the way they should.
When the glutes are underactive, other structures—like the hamstrings, lumbar spine, and hip flexors—step in to compensate.
Over time, this creates dominant, overworked muscle groups and a body that has to work much harder to move comfortably.

The good news?
With proper assessment, treatment and exercise moderation, we can help restore balance and support comfortable, efficient movement.
