More about Nurturing Touch
I studied under Angelique’s Animal Bodywork Courses that are recognised by IAAMB/ACWT and offer a range of therapies. Don’t worry, you don’t need to decide! Request a consultation to discuss a treatment plan that is ideal for your dog’s needs to improve range of motions, relieve pain and/or in general improve our dog’s well-being.
Each therapy will be a combination of different services, tailored to your dog’s need. At the beginning of the session I will enquire the animal’s history, analyse the gait and check for movement abnormality. A hands on assessment follows to further investigate any muscle tightness/weakness, etc. At the end of the session I check for improvement and come up with a treatment plan. The initial consultation is $70 and will go for around 45 minutes. Follow up appointments are between $40-60 (depending on travel) and are around 30 minutes. Note, if travel time is more than 30 minutes prices will be adjusted.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Myo-Manipulative functional Therapy is a very safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue to eliminate pain or restore motion. I use a range of massage techniques, such as Swedish Massage to relax the dog, Gua Sha to work on scar tissue, Shiatsu to balance the dog’s Ki energy.
Benefits of Myo-Manipulative functional Therapy :

– Achieves structural balance
– Improves blood circulation to promote healthy muscles
– stimulates lymphatic drainage to promote healthy joints
– improves a range of movement and body balance
– reduces muscle tension
