Martina Alvano

I am a Veterinary Technician and Canine Myotherapist with experience in physical rehabilitation and behaviour.

I support dogs recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or presenting with fear and reactivity, using a calm, low-stress approach.
My career was inspired by the adoption of Millie (Moo Mouse), a 9-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier rescued as a senior. Caring for her led me from behaviour and training into canine rehabilitation, qualifying as a certified small animal hydrotherapist and focusing my work on reactive and fearful dogs within a pain- and fear-free framework.

I was drawn to Galen Myotherapy for its shared commitment to ethical practice and holistic canine wellbeing. I am currently furthering my studies in canine nutrition and contributing to an international campaign promoting the adoption of disabled and senior dogs.

Although Millie is no longer with me, her legacy continues to shape my work. I am committed to helping every dog achieve the best possible quality of life.
