WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP
TREATING DOGS WITH CHRONIC CONDITIONS
Integrating Galen Myotherapy as part of a multimodal approach can provide your clients with a comprehensive treatment plan for many chronic conditions and situations. We use detailed postural assessment and targeted treatment programmes, including specialised massage techniques and rehabilitative exercises to deliver effective and measurable results within 1-3 sessions.

Galen Myotherapy is 100% committed to our role and responsibilities around the 1966 Veterinary Act. We not only understand our accountabilities in this but champion it within the industry.
Julia and Galen were a catalyst in the creation of Canine Arthritis Management. Through doing the Galen Myotherapy diploma, my eyes were opened to the physical and emotional signs of pain and discomfort we see in our dogs. It also opened my mind to improved ways to manage it.
