What is Galen Myotherapy?
Galen Myotherapy is a specialized, non-invasive approach to canine wellness that focuses on supporting the dog’s soft tissue and musculoskeletal system. By utilizing specific, choice-led techniques, we help manage the secondary effects of compensatory patterns, supporting your dog’s overall comfort and mobility.
Our Guiding Principles
At the heart of my practice is Positive P.A.C.T.®, a philosophy that ensures every session is:
-
P – Passive: Techniques are gentle and non-forceful. Your dog is never restrained and is always free to move or disengage, building a foundation of trust.
-
A – Appropriate: Every session is personalized to your dog’s specific age, breed, and lifestyle. No two dogs are the same, and neither are their sessions.
-
C – Compensatory: Dogs are masters at hiding discomfort by shifting their weight. We look at the "whole dog" to identify and support areas that are overworked due to these changes in posture.
-
T – Targeted: Our focus is on restoring healthy muscle function and encouraging better mobility, helping your dog feel their best at any age.
Supporting Your Dog’s Lifestyle
Whether you have a senior dog who is slowing down, a canine athlete, or a dog with physical limitations, Galen Myotherapy provides a supportive environment for well-being. By encouraging relaxation and easing tension in overworked muscle groups, we help restore balance to the body's frame.
A Note on Professional Boundaries
Galen Myotherapy is a complementary wellness modality. I do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe for any medical condition. In accordance with local regulations, all sessions require prior veterinary consent to ensure your dog is fit and healthy for soft tissue work.
