SUPPORTING DOGS AND OWNERS
SCARLETT
"First of all, I want to thank you for your thorough assessment of Scarlett's posture. Your keen observations are astounding. I literally had tears in my eyes as I listened to your video and read through your report. I finally feel heard and feel my concerns are validated. The first vet I took Scarlett to with my concerns and with a request for X-rays told me that since Scarlett seems to have adapted and appears highly functional, he saw no clinical need to pursue further investigation. I ignored that and scheduled her for x-rays which started this whole process. The tears were also for the realization that I will be able to provide her with understanding and relief. So Thank you."

"We are absolutely thrilled with the Galen distance program! The transformation in our dog is indescribable and we’re not even done yet! From a dog who would lay there for hours on end, to him now coming to greet us when we get home (that’s a first!) and he does these little bouncy hops when we go in the back yard. You can see how he’s much more relaxed on walks too. Top that off with 5-start support. I’d highly recommend Julia and the Galen team if you have any concerns about your dog’s mobility-you won’t be disappointed."

GEPETTO
​​​"Galen Myotherapy's Distance Support Program was an incredible help for my dog Gepetto who suffered from a rather bad posture and muscle tension. Based on a very precise assessment, massive improvements in my dog's posture and well-being were achieved in just a short time.
The instructions on how to carry out the massages were very clear and so helpful for us. Thank you very much, Julia, for your tireless and encouraging work for our dogs!"

"I just discovered the video version of your report,it is awesome! I was just going with the written report as in the past with DSP. The video report is a fantastic improvement,with the visual aid,and so much detail…I’m going to be looking at it over and over! I think it’s almost better than an in person consultation because you can keep going back to it. For the first time since I got her,she is starting to enjoy a massage,offering me her other side etc. I’ve just been working on her neck area and a little on her hamstrings,as well as her carpals. I’m really encouraged!"

"I joined the Distance Support Programme for my Super Senior Heart Dog after taking the available short courses from Galen. I was looking for more ways to relieve her discomfort without adding another medication for her kidneys to deal with. We started the massages on our own and she seemed to be loving them so the next logical step was to follow with a more personalized approach to address her specific issues. The video call was an absolute treat. Discussing with Julia how my dog's body is coping with past challenges and general aging was both illuminating and heartbreaking but having a comprehensive report and a precise plan of action is proving very helpful. I got a list of exercises followed by detailed feedback on my setup and technique to make sure that we are on the right path. One change I am already seeing is reduced areas of dry skin and improved look of her coat which was once shiny and then got dull and lifeless in recent years. Another is increased comfort with touch on the back of her legs. She asks for her massages regularly so I believe she is feeling the impact too. I could not be happier with the Distance Support Programme and the new layer of relief I can now offer my sweet Super Senior. Massage has become part of our daily routine and I got so intrigued by the process I ended up signing up for the full Galen course to continue learning from Julia and her brilliant team of experts.

"I was recommended Galen Myotherapy by a behaviourist after she spotted some things with our dog's posture and gait. He isn't good with strangers so being online was the best thing for him. The assessment was incredibly detailed and having everything explained over a video call means I fully understand everything I'm looking at in the report. I also have the recording which is helpful to go back to whenever I can't remember something.
It's a relief to have some answers as to what is going on with him, as well as a way to support him to feel better.
In my personal experience, I have often found vets to be dismissive or not really understanding of my concerns with some of the more subtle things such as posture or changes with the coat patterns, etc. Julia and the assessment reviewed all of these things and much more. I now have the report to show to my vet and help get them on board and see the whole picture.
I'm very pleased to have found Galen Myotherapy and will be recommending them to anyone who feels something is 'just not quite right' with their dog.
Thank you again"
