Recovery from injury, surgery or mobility difficulties requires a gentle, individualised approach.

At Canine Muscle Therapy we combine Bowen therapy, red light therapy and carefully selected rehabilitation exercises to support your dog’s comfort, mobility and recovery.

Bowen therapy’s non-invasive approach can be particularly suitable during the early stages of recovery. Unlike vigorous massage, it uses light, precise movements that encourage the muscles and soft tissues to relax, help calm the nervous system and promote overall comfort. It aims to address compensatory patterns that may develop following injury or surgery.

Physical rehabilitation exercise are introduced gradually, according to your dog’s condition, strength and neurological function, helping to rebuild mobility, balance and confidence without overloading recovering tissues.

Red light therapy may also be incorporated to support recovery and rehabilitation. Using specific wavelengths of light that penetrate the tissues, it stimulates cellular activity and can help manage inflammation, ease discomfort and support soft tissue healing. This makes it a valuable addition to our rehabilitation treatments, particularly for dogs recovering from injury or surgery.

Working alongside your vet, our focus is on gentle, progressive rehabilitation tailored to your dogs individual needs.
