Welcome to Canine Holistic Touch

Canine Holistic Touch is based in Caroline Springs, a Western suburb of Melbourne. It is a mobile business, and therefore I am always working at your place where your pet stays safely in its own environment.

Some dog owners consider massage to be just another important aspect of caring for their dog, as important as grooming, exercising and trips to the veterinarian.



About Massage

Have you ever asked yourself why your gorgeous dog doesn't jump on the bed any more?

Have you noticed his limping on the front left limb?


You have taken her to your veterinarian and he said it was arthritis, suggesting to look into canine massage. Just like people, dogs get sore, aching and tight muscles and this is where the Canine Myofunctional Therapist plays an important role.

Massages have been around for centuries and are part of different cultures. We are more familiar with Swedish massage first developed by Per Henrik Ling and the names of the strokes, used since about the 1800s, are French. These names appeared in the Proceedings of the German Society for Surgery. Massage is the manipulation of soft tissue to stimulate various physiologic responses.

Then humans started applying some form of massages on animals until Jack Meaher, a physical and massage therapist, popularised the art of sport massages. He began working with racing and show horses in the 1970s for the U.S. Three Day Event Team and the OlympicTeam. Soon after, people recognised the benefits of equine massage and that is when canine massage became popular.

Dogs have unseen stresses and they carry them quietly. Only through massage can you find out what ails the dog, because the dog can't tell you.

Massage can help with your pet's mental health, as well as behaviour and temperament problems.

I personally considerer Canine Myofunctional Therapy to be a decent and natural complement to conventional veterinary treatment.

Massaging a dog can:
  • Help him recover after an injury or strain
  • Enhance blood circulation and other body functions
  • Restore and maintain muscle tone
  • Treat injured tissues or arthritis
  • Prevent adhesions
  • Improve its performance
  • Reduce its stress level
  • Help to improve and maintain an overall health
  • Help with behaviour and temperament problems
