Big Brown Dog Therapy

Jacqui Newholm is a canine massage therapist, specialising in the treatment of dogs with postural issues, damaged or injured muscle & allied soft tissue.

Welcome to Big Brown Dog Canine Massage Therapy!

Dog massage is an effective natural treatment that can help to reduce discomfort and stress, and improve mobility. It is a specific therapy specialising in the treatment of dogs with postural and loading issues, damaged or injured muscle and allied soft tissue. It is especially beneficial for dogs who may be suffering from muscular and orthopaedic issues.

Based in Maidenhead, Berkshire, dog massage therapy is our speciality. We are passionate about helping you to keep your dog fit, strong and healthy for as long as possible.

Muscle pain is often underestimated and sometimes difficult to diagnose and treat. We have specialised knowledge in this area and work in a targeted and specific way, which often results in remarkable positive changes within the dog as a whole.

Muscular issues can manifest themselves in many different ways. The pain can cause stress that will have a negative effect on how the dog functions both physically and psychologically.

Does it work? Yes, it does! Massage has a profound overall effect on animals.

The direct physical effects of massage on the body’s tissues will increase blood circulation, enhance the delivery of important nutrients, hormones and fresh oxygen, as well as aid the removal of toxins.

Massage will loosen tight muscle fibres, knots, spasms and helps to realign scar tissue.

After a massage treatment, your dog should exhibit:

- Improved movement patterns, lameness and posture
- Reduction in pain and stiffness
- Increased joint flexibility and range of motion
- Improved condition of skin and coat
- Improved sports performance
- Quicker recovery from injury
- Quicker postoperative recovery
- Massage can also offer temporary relief from chronic on-going orthopaedic conditions
