Macoby Clinical Canine Massage & Canine Exercise Rehab by Kim Rufus RVN

As a therapist I not only address your dogs muscles I also look at your dogs gait, posture & daily activities formulating a home care plan.

Kim is a Shropshire based Registered Vet Nurse, accredited Clinical Canine Massage Therapist, Certified Canine Mobility Nurse/Therapist & Certified Canine Exercise Rehab Therapist Canine Massage is a safe form of complementary therapy achieving results in as little as 1-3 sessions working alongside your Veterinary Surgeon for the best possible outcome. Massage can help to treat a variety of condit

ions ranging from soft tissue such as sprains/strains to orthopaedic issues such as elbow or hip dysplasia addressing tight sore muscles, tension, trigger points & myofascial pain. I find that this therapy is especially useful for dogs with arthritis as it helps to provide hands on natural pain relief & improving quality of life as part of a multi modal approach. Your dog does not need to be injured to benefit though as massage is great for keeping them in peak condition helping to detect any areas of discomfort before they become a problem. Kim also has an interest in nutrition, oncology & senior care. She is also a fully trained pet first aid instructor offering day courses.

When you are studying then the next slides on the presentation show this...........

This photo was taken a few years ago now but boy did Mak teach me things from being my study buddy for massage through to pain management, oncology & nutrition, it truly was an honour & a blessing having him in my life & to be his Mom....

He may not be here in the physical anymore but this was the sign I needed to keep pushing forward!!! I've got this!! ❤🐶

Amazing day, tired but happy 🐶❤

Today I was Ellerdine Village Hall for their health & wellness event then off to meet the beautiful Fig, a newbie to Macoby this afternoon......

Fig is a cross JRT with angular limb deformity affecting her forelimbs & also a deformity affecting her left hindlimb....not that you would know by the way this girl moves!! As expected she has areas of tightness especially her back as well as areas of over compensation.

Fig took to massage so well & really enjoyed me working on her superficial & deep pectorals, such a gorgeous girl ❤

18/03/2026

I will be at this event promoting & discussing all things canine massage/rehab ❤🐶

Ellerdine Village Hall Saturday 28th March 10am-1pm see you there!!

Belated Happy Mothers Day to you all ❤

I was working yesterday but came home to find some amazing presents from Bert.......including this Cat Sabbath t-shirt ❤

However you spent your day I hope you had good one & maybe a little gift or two?!

Lola ❤
Meet Newbie to Macoby Lola, this lovely girl has recently been diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia

Her owners are keen to find ways to support her so this week Lola had her first massage to start to address any tight/sore areas, address areas of over compensation as well as enabling her to relax a little as this girl is very active!
In conjunction with this Lola will have an exercise plan to work through which will hopefully improve her core strength, encourage even weight bearing & help to lengthen some tight muscles 🙂

March is Pet Anxiety Awareness month

Love this infographic from Pet Remedy about the stress bucket analogy so had to share.......... 🐶
Where's your dog on the scale? Relaxed, stimulated & coping, overstimulated or bucket full?

March is Pet Anxiety Awareness Month.
Is your pet's STRESS BUCKET FULL?
Pet Remedy is like a TAP for draining pet anxiety!
(Click on the bucket, to see a larger image)
It is clinically proven and gets to work instantly.

Awareness of human anxiety is improving - Let’s do better for all our pets – our cats, dogs, rabbits, rodents, horses, parrots...etc,etc!

Please share... 🤔

Macoby Clinical Canine Massage

Hello - I am Kim and I run Macoby Clinical Canine Massage & natural healthcare. As well as being a clinical canine massage therapist, I am also a Registered Veterinary Nurse with over 26 years of experience of being in practice. I have always held an interest in complementary therapies and decided to re-train in massage so that I can offer my clients the best possible care and treatment.

In addition I also write for Edition Dog magazine & volunteer my time helping out Canine Arthritis Management. Recently I have qualified in teaching canine first aid.

Clinical canine massage is great for young dogs, agility/working dogs right through to the senior dog who may be sore due to Arthritic change (there is a lot more we can do now to help them rather than just relying on pain relief). What I do is look at your pet as a whole and not just treat the symptoms in front of me, so with your Veterinary Surgeons consent, I can help and advice you the best I can to provide a better quality of life.

To get in touch then email kim@macoby.co.uk or call me on 07983 759975.
