Canine

Osteopathic treatment can offer gentle, effective support for dogs experiencing musculoskeletal discomfort, stiffness or changes in movement or behaviour. Just like humans, dogs can develop tension, joint restrictions or soft tissue injuries from daily activity, ageing or past trauma. These issues may show as limping, reluctance to exercise, difficulty getting up or down or behavioural changes.

Canine osteopaths use gentle, hands-on techniques to assess and treat areas of imbalance, helping to improve mobility, reduce pain and support the body’s natural healing processes. Treatment is tailored to each dog’s needs, taking into account age, breed, lifestyle and health history.

Osteopathy can be particularly helpful for working dogs, active pets and older dogs who may benefit from improved comfort and flexibility. It also works well alongside veterinary care as part of a holistic approach to wellbeing. Most dogs respond calmly and positively to treatment, enjoying the gentle touch and restored ease of movement.
