📍Slovenija, Ljubljana - še zadnjič pred poletjem bova z Uršo Caninaviva - Miofascialna masaža psov priredili Emmett delavnico za pse na kar najboljši možni lokaciji ❤️🌿

Psi in gromozansko zelenje v enem prostoru, je sploh lahko še kaj boljšega? 😉

Pravzaprav - da!

Na proaktivni nedelji te bova naučili prav posebnih prijemov, s katerimi lahko odpraviš bolečino in povečeš obseg gibanja svojemu psu. 🐾

Midve se že zelooo veseliva 🥰

Your body reflects all the experiences you’ve had and everything you’re still going through.

And so does your dog’s body. 🐾

Do you agree? 😉♥️🐾

🦴 Curiosity sparks - “Wait, dog massage is a thing? My pup would love this!”

🦴 A practice – “Let’s see if my dog enjoys this…” (spoiler: they do! 😉)

🦴 A new habit – “I massage my dog 3x a week and stretch them after every intense activity.”

🦴 A second nature – “I’ve learned which muscles need extra care.” 🤍

🦴 A life-changing practice – “I’m so relieved! I discovered a lump behind my dog’s forelimb and prevented it from spreading. Not only that, thanks to massage, my dog recovered much faster and is more energetic than ever.”

Real-life inspired comments from enthusiastic owners. 🥰

I can’t wait for you to start and to hear your story! 🐾

This post won’t win the likes, but it might change a dog’s life ⬇️

Throwing the ball and playing fetch, filling the bowl with kibble, ignoring the signs of silent pain.

Your dog might be wagging their tail, but that doesn’t mean these things are good for them. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Know better ♥️

I recently read Dr. Bessel van der Kolk's book on the brain, mind and body in the healing of trauma.

And it got me thinking about dogs again. 🐾

A dog's body, like ours, stores echoes of past experiences. In my practise, I see that their bodies and behaviour often show more of what they would like to suppress.

This is where your role comes into play! 💫

Healing is rooted in connection. Like people, dogs thrive when they feel safe and seen.

Your touch is magical. A mindful massage can help your dog release stress and find that warm feeling of peace and trust. ♥️

Has your dog had a traumatic experience in their life?

When you start massaging your dog, you will quickly realize that your hands serve as a channel of communication. 🤲🏼♥️

And it goes both ways!

🐶 From your dog to you
Underneath your hands you can feel and get the information if your dog has muscle tension somewhere, knots, lumps, newly formed lipomas, or sensitive and painful areas.

👱🏼‍♀️ From you to your dog
We pass our dogs our calmness, reassurance, encouragement, trust, which goes hand in hand with our intention (this is why it is so important!) and contributes to healing.

Dog massage provides far more information than you can initially perceive with the naked eye.

🪷 A new week lies ahead – take some time for your dogs. While they're resting, stroke them gently with your hands all over their body.

Do you notice anything new or unusual? Does your dog particularly enjoy being touched in certain areas, or do they perhaps pull away?

Have you ever tried Shinrin Yoku, or forest bathing?⁠
⁠
This Japanese practice invites us to immerse ourselves in the sights, sounds and smells of the forest - mindfully and without rush. It’s not a hike, it’s a chance to BE PRESENT in nature. 🌿⁠
⁠
For humans, forest bathing reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, boosts immunity and clears our minds. 🧘🏻‍♀️
⁠
But did you know it benefits our dogs, too? 🐶🐾 ⁠
⁠
Their sensitive noses and keen senses thrive in natural environments. Forest walks reduce anxiety, deepen our bonding and most of all, keep them mentally stimulated.⁠ ♥️⁠
⁠
Next time you’re in the woods, pause. Listen to the wind in the trees. Smell the scents in the air, the soil, the wood. Breathe deeply. Let nature heal you both. 🌲🤍✨⁠

How is your dog’s energy today?

🔎 Observe their cues:

🍪 Restless? They need grounding.
🍪 Tired after activity? Support them with stretches.
🍪 Unbalanced? Press the right acupressure points.

Got some questions? Shoot! 💌

Seeing the results of therapy in your dog means a million.

Of course, we’re primarily aiming for pain relief, but other visible improvements may also surprise us. ☺️

Foxy and her guardian took part in our dog massage workshop. Just a few days later, her guardian got in touch with a video showing Foxy, a 6-year-old Scottish Shepherd, playing like a puppy again 🥰🥰

“I’ve never seen her so playful” ♥️
Her feedback and Foxy’s improvement after only 2 therapies really warms my heart. 🥹

Remember, when we take away pain and discomfort from our dogs, their true, playful character will start to shine through. That’s the best confirmation that we’ve done something right. 🐶🤍✨

During the time between Christmas and New Year’s, most people take some time off. What do you do during this stretch at the year’s end?

I visit my family, take time for long walks in the forest, reflect on the past year and create a vision board for the upcoming year. For inspiration, I use Pinterest, pin pictures to a special album and keep it as my North star throughout the year. 🪐💫

One of the questions I ask myself as I reflect on this is, “What kind of dog owner do I want to be for my dogs?”

Let at least one thought be focused on making your shared world a better place. 🪷

Healing begins with intention. This year, let’s include our dogs in our wellness goals. Every small step we take creates big shifts in our health and the health of those we care for. 🐶🤍✨
