For your dog to receive treatment, a consent form is required to be signed by your veterinary surgeon as per the Veterinary Surgeons Act of 1966. I am happy to discuss any potential treatment with your vet. As a Galen Myotherapist I am fully qualified, insured and I am a member or The International Association of Animal Therapists. I also require you to complete the owners consent form prior to treatment. Click here for the form
Galen Myotherapy treatments are specific to your dog. I will work closely with you as the dog owner and give you clear information and instructions throughout the treatment process. As a Galen Myotherapist, I work using the methodology of Positive PACT ®. This methodology was developed by Julia Robertson founder of Galen Myotherapy from observation and treatment of over 10,00 dogs. Positive PACT ® stands for Progressive Affective Cycle of Therapy. It is based on a cycle of choice led treatment involving the dog, their guardian and the therapist. It facilitates the dog to have freedom of movement during the treatment allowing them to have autonomy over their own body as well as where and how we treat. To read more about this, please follow this link to the Galen Myotherapy Website. Positive PACT | Galen Myotherapy
Prior to treatment I will request some information and or images and videos about your dog to allow me to do a full postural assessment. We will then arrange our initial consultation and treatment. Click here for the pre treatment information.
Where I Treat
I treat the dogs in ‘The Pawsitive Pod’ at my home address in Surbiton. In exceptional circumstances if the dog is unable to travel or is unsettled in new places, I will travel to you but this will need to be discussed beforehand and may incur extra travel costs.
After Treatment
After each treatment, I will give you feedback as to what I have been doing and what I have felt. I will also where appropriate, demonstrate some massage techniques and exercises. Click here for the post treatment advice sheet.
