  • Myotherapy uses massage and exercise prescriptions to improve your dog’s mobility.

    Most orthopedic (musculoskeletal) conditions respond very well to myotherapy, including:

    -Arthritis

    -Hip dysplasia

    -Weak hind legs or scuffing of the hind legs

    -Neck or back pain

    -Poor mobility or lameness

    -Recovery from orthopedic surgery

What are people saying about Myotherapy with Laura?

"I can't say enough wonderful things about Laura. As a pet owner, I’m always looking for ways to improve my dogs well-being, and Laura‘s expertise in Dog massage and red light therapy has been a game changer. Not only did my dog thoroughly enjoy the sessions, but I also noticed significant improvements in her mobility and overall happiness.

"I can't recommend Laura highly enough!

She was able to make our dog feel comfortable quite quickly and now she absolutely loves her sessions.

Having had some past issues with pulled muscles and stiffness, the regular massage sessions have done wonders for our pup!

She always leaves each massage very relaxed and moving more freely"

My girl has been withdrawn and reluctant to walk for several months now, but has been for a walk every day since the sessions with Laura started. The walks are short, but it’s a start, and it is my dog that initiates them so I’m no longer having to force her, which has also improved our relationship as well. Laura has a gentle and compassionate approach that instantly put my dog at ease. I highly recommend Laura to any dog owner, looking to provide their fairy friend with the best care possible"
