Pet Owners

I am currently selecting a limited number of canine participants for an academic case study program. This program is a core requirement of my Galen Myotherapy certification and focuses on observational muscular support.

Is Your dog a Candidate?

 

  • Senior dogs showing signs of stiffness or slowing down.

  • Dogs with a veterinary diagnosis of osteoarthritis or hip/elbow dysplasia.

  • Dogs recovering from post-orthopedic surgery (with full veterinary clearance).

 

The "Vet-First" Protocol

 

  • Participation is strictly complimentary and is only possible with the signed consent of your primary veterinarian.

  • I work alongside your veterinary team to ensure all muscular support complements your dog's existing medical care.

 

What is Required of You & Your Dog

 

  • The Commitment: The program requires a total of three sessions to accurately track and document your dog’s progress over time.
  • The Timing: To allow for the best results and observation of muscular change, sessions are typically scheduled 10–12 days apart.
  • Your Role: As the handler, you'll be asked to provide brief observations on your dog’s comfort and movement between sessions to help inform my case reports.

 

Collaboration with Your Veterinarian

 

  • Reporting: Upon completion of the three sessions, I will provide a report directly to your veterinarian.

  • The Content: This report includes objective summaries of postural/movement observations and session notes gathered during the program.

  • The Goal: These observations are intended to support your vet’s oversight by providing detailed, non-diagnostic data regarding your dog’s muscular health.
