canine massage therapy

Just like humans, dogs benefit immensely from the healing power of touch. At The Waggington, we’re proud to offer Canine Remedial Massage Therapy—a therapeutic service designed to support your dog’s health, comfort, and overall well-being. All sessions are delivered by our certified Canine Remedial Massage Therapist in a calm, pet-friendly environment.

Canine remedial massage is a targeted form of therapy that uses specialised touch techniques to meet your dog’s unique needs. It helps address:

• Muscular tension and tightness
• Restricted movement 
• Physical discomfort 
• Stress and anxiety
   

This evidence-based approach is suitable for dogs of all ages, breeds, and activity levels.

Massage therapy is a powerful, research-backed way to support your dog’s physical and emotional health. Dogs—like people—store stress and tension in their bodies, which can lead to stiffness, pain, or reduced mobility, especially as they age or recover from injury.

Regular massage can:

• Improve circulation and lymphatic flow 
• Relax tight or overworked muscles 
• Calm the nervous system 
• Support faster healing 
• Promote greater freedom of movement
   

Whether your dog is a high-energy athlete, a senior companion, or recovering from surgery, massage can play a vital role in enhancing their quality of life
 

Each session is conducted in a safe, quiet, and comfortable environment to ensure your dog feels secure and relaxed. 

• Initial Consultation – We require a little more time so we can take a history and perform an assessment. Please have any relevant history from your vet, physio, acupuncturist, etc available      Session Cost  $95
   
• Individual sessions – We will discuss any progress and our recommendation for subsequent sessions and always tweak this as we go depending on how your pooch is responding.   The length of subsequent sessions may depend on several factors such as the size of the dog, how well they settle and the areas requiring treatment.                                      30 min session  $65        45 min session   $80
