Treatments
All treatments/techniques used are scientifically based, and included in the cost of service
Massage
Massage improves the flexibility of muscle and connective tissue, thereby allowing better joint range of motion and gait quality. It reduces pain, inflammation, swelling and aids immune health. It increases the healing of tissues and acts as a great pre and post exercise maintanence (including eliminating DOMS).
Stretching/mobilisation
Stretching the limbs, back, neck and tail reduce muscle hypertonicity and fascial restriction, improving flexibility, range of motion, tissue health and overall comfort.
Low level laser (Red light therapy)
Used mainly to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief. LLLT is also very effective at eliminating muscular trigger points and accelerating the healing of wounds and superficial soft tissues.
Remedial exercises
​Remedial exercises are usually given as homework to: decrease pain and swelling, improve circulation, joint health and range of motion, flexibility, coordination and balance, muscular strength, bone density and gait quality.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy (PEMFT)
PEMFT is mainly used to provide pain relief, but also reduces inflammation and improves healing, with specific settings for bone and neurological healing.
INDIBA (small animal only)
INDIBA enhances the healing of tissues and provides muscle spasm relief, as well as reducing pain and inflammation
​
Please note - if you are specifically interested in an INDIBA based treatment, please state upon booking, as pre planning is required.

Pain assessments
Having a pain assessment prior to behaviour training is vital for success. It ensures pain is not a contributor to your dogs behaviour, or allows you to become aware of and manage the problem, setting your dog up for success and preventing further discomfort later in life!
Includes a full physical and gait assessment, discussion of findings, treatment and a written report sent to you and your dogs behaviourist.
If treatment is not considered needed, or cannot be completed due to behavioural complications, a deduction of £10 may be issued.
If the assessment cannot be completed due to behavioural complications, a deposit of only £30 will be taken.
