Bodywork is appropriate for any dog whether a high performance athlete, casual competitor, cherished companion or the senior resident in your home. Bodywork improves physical and psychological well-being.

Before and After Gallery

BEFORE: Reese’s Pieces. 7 year old Black and Tan Coonhound showing several postural deficit before bodywork. Her posture is base wide in front and behind. She has some hind leg rotation and toes out in front. As clearly seen she is placing more weight on her Left foreleg. She has her hind legs under and back hunched. (Note: Reese is clearly in need of a nail trim which owner has addressed)

AFTER: Reese’s Pieces show a definite improvement after her SECOND session. She has a solid base of support, less rotation behind and straighter in front although she is still placing more weight on her L foreleg and the R fore is placed laterally. Note the position of her tail in the BEFORE and AFTER photos. In the photo above her tail is clearly pointing to the L indicating weakness of the L hind leg. Below, her tail is almost straight. (Note: Reese is clearly in need of a nail trim which owner has addressed)

Some Dogs Invent Their Own Therapy

Step One: Get the left leg up. Slowly count to five. Step Two: Get the right leg up, keeping the right leg slightly bent, weight on the hindlegs for 5 seconds. Step 3: Maintain weight on left fore. Add more bend to that right leg; use your core, sneak a drink. Step 4: Spin around really fast with front legs crossed and repeat from the opposite side.
