CANINE massage & rolfing®

After many requests from clients whom I've helped, I decided to add massage and Rolfing® for canines to my practice. Already skilled in human body work, I attended the Boulder College of Massage Therapy for an additional certification in canine massage. I combine my Rolfing® structural integration and my massage for a well balanced therapy that really works.

Many canine companions suffer from hip dysplasia, knee surgeries or repairs and other common conditions affecting their quality of life. Just as with people, dogs suffer from arthritis and degenerative joint disease, as well as structural malformaties. Rolfing® and massage can be corrective in many cases. In most situations, the quality of life can improve for both dogs and for their owners.

Canine sessions run from 30 to 60 minutes and include gait analysis and charting of the dogs progress.

By getting body work for your dog, you can improve the quality of their life and yours too!
