Specialising in therapeutic massage for dogs of all ages and breeds,
and whether they are pets, performance or working dogs.
Massage helps rehabilitate soft tissue injury, often seen as limping or intermittent lameness. It provides natural pain relief for your dog by relieving tight, sore muscles, resolving painful trigger points (knots) and myofascial pain and dysfunction.
It also helps support orthopaedic conditions such as hip and elbow dysplasia by keeping the muscles associated with the joint flexible, relieving areas of overcompensation and reducing muscle splinting. It is also ideal for elderly, arthritic dogs to help mobility issues, for pain relief, and improve their quality of life.
The therapy provided helps to restore functional movement and balance, and is suitable for post-injury and post-surgery patients, as well as those suffering chronic conditions such as hip dysplasia, osteoarthritis, developmental elbow diseases (elbow dysplasia) etc.

If you would like to go ahead with massage treatment, Alba Dog Massage abides by the Veterinary Surgeon's Act 1966 and the Exemption Order 2015 which means your dog cannot be massaged without prior veterinary consent. Please download the vet consent form (below) which will need to be signed by your vet and brought with you to your first appointment.
