We never use forcedrestraint, and treatment will always take place on thefloor or on a low level, where a dog is most comfortable.• Owner empowerment• We always include the owners in their dog’s recoveryplan, impar<ng techniques that are safe to use, alongwith exercise planning and environment management.• High level of specialist knowledge and training• All Galen Canine Myotherapists® are qualified to a highlevel. They understand the dog’s anatomy in terms ofmovement, how the dog’s body works and how physicalstress can be reflected through behaviour. Thisknowledge is then directed into a dog-centric applica<onof choice-led treatment.• Behavioural Understanding• We guide owners and handlers in understanding howmuscle pain can be reflected in their dog’s behaviour.• Sharing of knowledge• The welfare of dogs is our primary concern, we believe insharing knowledge through training, workshops,symposiums and events all over the world.• Con<nual Development• Much of our course content has changed radically overthe years due to our discoveries, our science led studiesand our research in understanding the behaviour andphysical changes of dogs with muscular issues. Weensure we keep up to date with the latest evidence andfindings and modify our treatment and teaching toincorporate this.Galen Myotherapy treatments are totally specific to yourdog. The consultants work very closely with you as thedog owner, giving clear informa<on and instruc<ons allthe way through the treatment process.Galen Myotherapy’s unique Posi<ve Pact treatmentprotocol ensures all dogs being treated have a ‘choice’.We never use forced restraint and treatment will alwaystake place on the floor or on a low level, which is where adog is most comfortable.A Galen Myotherapist only works on dogs that have asigned a veterinary consent form that adheres to the UKVeterinary Act and all Galen Myotherapists are fullyqualified and insured.During the first appointment the Myotherapist will usethe Galen Comfort Scale© to gather informa<on aboutyour dog from you. This includes history of injury/accidents, environment, exercise rou<ne and anybehavioural issues to help build a comprehensive pictureof your dog’s health and comfort.Following a postural and hands on assessment, theMyotherapist will use specialised massage techniques totreat any areas of muscular tension. They may also usedynamic remedial and strengthening techniques, tomanage any chronic muscular pain and inflamma<on.During the appointment the Myotherapist will give youtools to help your dog between treatments which mayinclude small changes to their environment or ac<vi<eswhich will posi<vely impact your dog’s health.You are likely to see a change in your dog’s movement orbehaviour aber the first treatment but it usually takesthree treatments to make an effec<ve change to a dog’smuscular health.More and more people are training in GalenMyotherapy and not just in the UK.
