What is Canine Body Articulation?

Canine Body Articulation is a simple, yet effective, way to optismise movement and joint function.

Best of all it's gentle on the dog and non-invasive. 

The method uses gentle manipulation and mobilisation of the dog's joints, including the spine, neck, pelvis, legs, shoulders and hips, via a range of motion exercises.

The results are heartwarming and can be seen in the way the dog presents itself after a treatment. 

This is because the method helps maintain nerve supply from the vertebral joints, improves blood supply and drainage from tissues, reduces stiffness in the joints and helps maintain flexibility. It gets all that lovely synovial fluid moving through the joints. Anyone who's played hello toes, goodbye toes will know what I mean!

To be clearer, a joint is the junction between two or more bones of the skeleton. Their main functions is to provide motion and flexibility to the skeleton. They also act as shock absorbers.  So ensuring they are working smoothly and effectively is so important. Canine body articulation helps in this regard but it also helps the practitioner identify areas that need extra attention or where there may be a problem that needs vet attention.

This is a complementary therapy we use hand in paw with canine myofunctional therapy and Accell Therapy to elicit a better outcome for the dog.
