SUPPORTING DOGS

WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP

Julia Robertson, founder of Galen Myotherapy and Lisbeth Borg de Waard first met in 2014. Since then, Lisbeth and Julia’s partnership has evolved and Galen Myotherapy has become a perfect partnership and synergy with the type of dog-centric training and ethos which Lisbeth's canine school, Innlandet Hundesenter provides. 

In June 2022 the Galen Myotherapy Diploma practical’s were held in Oslo for the first Norwegian cohort.  
The students had completed their theory, attended the pre-practical online training, and then came to Oslo for their practical training.

Established in 2002, Galen Myotherapy were the first to develop a choice-led treatment for dogs. We recognise dogs as sentient beings, who lead rich emotional lives and can experience pain. This in depth understanding of canine behaviour led to the development of our science based Positive PACT® treatment protocol.

Using photos and videos of your dog we provide a detailed postural and movement analysis to highlight areas of weakness and compensation in your dog’s biomechanics. We then work with you to implement environmental and activity changes, and show you how to apply targeted massage techniques to improve your dog’s musculoskeletal health. 

Our Distance Support Plus Programme (DSP+) includes a bespoke 6 week rehabilitative and functional exercise programme to target weaker areas and improve their overall mobility, flexibility and strength. We’ll send you detailed instructions and work with you to ensure you're both performing the exercises correctly.
