Merle Dekanski, Remedial Canine Massage Practitioner My methods have realised wonderful effects.  Each dog is unique and receives a tailored massage, whilst  you their owners are involved every step of the way.  You will receive follow-up advice and sometimes homework that achieves the best results for your dog.

I qualified with the Institute of Complementary  Animal Therapists (ICAT) with distinction, I am also a graduate of Merishia Animal Massage School,  ITEC Sports Therapy, NHII Remedial Massage College, AOSM On-site Massage Academy.  I am a member of the Association of Complementary Animal Therapists to  assure continuing professional development.  

I have also worked on my own dogs with great beneficial effects.  The most significant occasion was my elderly doberman, Sabre who suddenly became lame in both rear legs when he was 9.  Following many visits and x-rays later vets could discover no clinical reason for Sabre’s condition.

My dog retained his healthy appetite and insisted on maintaining his clean house routine.  This convinced me to work with him employing daily physio so that if/when he tried to stand his muscles would retain mobility memory, be strong and healthy enough to bear weight.

Eureka!  Three months later the results of my work achieved its goal.  I witnessed gradually my faithful old friend attempt to raise his back end staggering to stand and relieve himself.  It wasn’t long before he was back taking regular walks with us.

 

These days all of my dogs look forward to receiving their regular maintenance massage.  

 

 

In practice I work in association with ethical trainers, vets, boarders, walkers and rehoming centres whom I’ve personally found to have an holistic approach to canine care.

Currently I am wholly dedicated to our canine friends, but have been a qualified remedial and sports massage practitioner on humans for over 15 years.  Using my skills to achieve beneficial effects for a variety of clients.  From the frail and elderly to competitive athletes in disciplines ranging from rugby power to marathon and cycling endurance.
