LED Light Therapy
LED light therapy harnesses the healing power of red and infrared light at specific wavelengths and frequencies for accelerated healing by activating the pain and relaxing ‘medication’ of the animal’s own body.
It is non-invasive and painless, producing a gentle and soothing warmth that is especially effective in treating chronic pain and inflammatory conditions associated with osteoarthritis and overuse injuries.
Photizo Light Therapy is regularly used during the course of massage sessions and I’m always happy for owners pop-in (by appointment) for a top-up.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue focuses on releasing the deeper muscular layers using techniques to enable access to these muscles, fascia and ligaments that have in time become restricted
Often seen in older dogs who have developed chronic muscle tension over a prolonged period of time and may be caused by: Postural habits / Age / Overcompensation of Muscular Injury/issue / Overuse from muscles associated with Orthopaedic Conditions Deep Tissue helps to:
Free up restricted joints / Improve skeletal alignment / Helps release strong adhesions between fascia / Soften muscle & improve flexibility/ Promote well-being / Aid the body’s natural healing process.
