Our equine and canine therapy services

At Whole Healing Therapies, we offer a unique approach to animal well-being. Our specialized services for horses and dogs are designed to address their specific needs, promoting recovery, comfort, and peak performance.

Equine Sports Massage

Equine Sports Massage is a specialised hands-on therapy designed to support the health, mobility, and performance of horses through targeted soft tissue techniques. Combining sports massage, fascial techniques, CranioSacral Therapy approaches, exercise management, and supportive tools such as kinesiology taping and laser therapy, each treatment is tailored to the individual horse.

Working with the horse’s natural responses, Equine Sports Massage aims to reduce muscular tension, release areas of restriction, improve comfort, and support optimal movement. By addressing the whole body rather than focusing only on the presenting issue, treatment can help maintain balance, suppleness, and long-term physical wellbeing.

Suitable for all horses, from family companions to high-performance athletes, Equine Sports Massage can be incorporated into training programmes, rehabilitation plans, and general maintenance care.

Passive stretching and tailored exercise recommendations may also be provided to support continued progress and help maintain positive results between treatments.

Your first appointment begins with a detailed consultation covering your horse’s health history, lifestyle, workload, exercise routine, and any areas of concern. A static and dynamic assessment is then carried out to understand your horse’s movement patterns and create a treatment plan specific to their needs.

Treatments are available as one-off sessions or as part of a maintenance programme, with regular sessions often recommended for ongoing support. For horses requiring rehabilitation support, a structured treatment plan may be advised in conjunction with veterinary guidance.

Whole Healing provides Equine Sports Massage across Kent and the South East, bringing professional, personalised care directly to your horse at their own yard or stable.

All treatments are carried out in accordance with the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966. Equine Sports Massage is a complementary therapy and does not replace veterinary diagnosis or treatment. Veterinary consent may be required before working with an animal where appropriate.

Canine Myotherapy & Massage

Canine Myotherapy & Massage is a specialised hands-on therapy designed to support the comfort, mobility, and overall wellbeing of dogs. Using targeted massage techniques, fascial work, CranioSacral Therapy approaches, exercise management, and supportive tools such as kinesiology taping and laser therapy, each treatment is tailored to the individual dog.

Through careful assessment and gentle hands-on techniques, treatment aims to identify areas of muscular tension, restriction, discomfort, and compensatory movement patterns. By working with the whole body rather than focusing only on the presenting issue, Canine Myotherapy & Massage can help support relaxation, improved movement, and long-term physical wellbeing.

Suitable for dogs of all ages and lifestyles, from family companions to working, sporting, and show dogs, treatments can be used as part of a maintenance programme, performance support plan, or rehabilitation approach.

Muscular tension and discomfort can affect the way a dog moves, behaves, and interacts with their environment. By identifying areas of restriction and supporting healthy muscle function, Canine Myotherapy & Massage may help improve comfort, mobility, and quality of movement.

Potential Benefits:

Encouraging relaxation and confidence with touch
Supporting recovery following injury or periods of reduced activity
Reducing muscular tension and areas of discomfort
Improving flexibility, mobility, and range of movement
Supporting healthy joint function, particularly in older dogs
Maintaining muscle condition throughout life
Supporting working, sporting, and active dogs
Complementing veterinary, rehabilitation, osteopathic, chiropractic, and hydrotherapy programmes

Tailored exercise guidance and home care recommendations may also be provided to help support your dog’s progress between treatments.

Your first appointment begins with a detailed consultation covering your dog’s health history, lifestyle, exercise routine, and any concerns you may have. A static and dynamic assessment is then carried out to understand your dog’s movement patterns and create a treatment plan specific to their individual needs.

Treatments can be booked as one-off sessions or as part of an ongoing maintenance programme. For dogs requiring rehabilitation support, regular sessions may be recommended alongside veterinary guidance.
