What is canine osteopathy?
Canine osteopathy is an alternative form of therapy that aims to improve the health and well-being of dogs through manual manipulation of the musculoskeletal system. Similar to osteopathy for humans, it is believed that many diseases and ailments are caused by restrictions or dysfunctions in the body that can be resolved through manual techniques.
A canine osteopath focuses on identifying and correcting blockages, tensions and imbalances in the dog’s body. This is done through gentle but targeted movements aimed at restoring normal range of motion and function to the joints, muscles and tissues.

The effects of canine osteopathy can be many and varied. Some of the potential benefits include:
Pain relief: By removing blockages and tension, pain caused by musculoskeletal problems can be reduced.
Improved mobility: By restoring normal range of motion to joints and muscles, dogs can improve their mobility and flexibility.
Promoting healing: Canine osteopathy can aid the healing process after injury or surgery by promoting circulation and stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
Holistic approach: Canine osteopathy looks at the dog as a whole and considers other aspects such as nutrition, environment and behavior in addition to musculoskeletal problems.
Important
It is important to note that canine osteopathy is not a substitute for veterinary care, especially for acute or serious conditions. It is often used as a complementary therapy alongside veterinary treatment to improve the health and well-being of dogs. Often after consultation with a vet!
