Expertise
in Equine & Canine Massage & Laser Therapy
Horse and Hounds Therapy supports dogs and horses with a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, including orthopedic conditions, soft tissue injuries, neurological disorders, and myofascial pain. Regular maintenance treatments help preserve mobility, function, and suppleness, while allowing early identification of asymmetry and muscular imbalances that affect biomechanics. This proactive approach helps prevent long term compensatory patterns and reduces the risk of injury.
Following treatment dogs and horses often show noticeable improvements in gait, posture, performance, alongside enhanced body awareness and proprioception. This increased confidence and consistency supports comfortable everyday movement and underpins consistent athletic performance.
All treatments are bespoke and customised to ensure your horse or dog receives the
appropriate treatment plan with the care and compassion they deserve. Treatment
includes static and dynamic analysis, and I use a blend of traditional massage and myofascial release techniques to realign and restore normal fascial tension aiding in pain relief, improving mobility, behaviour, and performance. As a member of the Canine Massage Guild, I have been trained in Lenton Method® which uses a
combination of traditional massage techniques and a clinically tested set of direct and indirect myofascial release protocols. Results of the clinical trials revealed that 95% of dogs showed a positive response to massage therapy. These results have been published in the "Vet Record" by the British Veterinary Association.

Suzanne & sasha
"Claire has been treating my elderly collie for around 6 months now, as she has chronic arthritis. The regular treatments are really helping with her stiffness allowing her much better movement and general quality of life. I can really see the change in her. Claire has the most wonderful calming approach to treating my dog, which allows her to relax and really benefit from the treatment. Claire is always so approachable, for discussion around the massage therapy process, or any concerns for our dog. I highly recommend Claire for Canine Massage Therapy."
BRINSLEY & BEN
''My Labrador Ben has been suffering from arthritis and although he is on medication to help him over the last few years, he has become very stiff and slow. Ben loved his massage treatments with Claire and after his second session he was more mobile and much brighter on his walks.''
marrion & nellie
''After Nellie's treatments with Claire she was much calmer and settled after each massage. Nellie is less sensitive to touch, and she is now able to enjoy her walks''
Joe & emile
"Emile is a very complex 2 year old Rottweiler, from the first day we met Claire I felt at ease with her, Emile can take a bit of time to warm up to strangers but was immediately comfortable with her and her touch. Claire demonstrated not only an amazingly caring persona but so very knowledgeable with everything she does. She explains everything in detail but in an easy-to-understand way. Another thing I loved was Claire’s understanding of how Emile feels, she knows exactly when he’s had enough and doesn’t try to push anything he’s not comfortable with. We feel very lucky to have found Claire and to have her expertise to help Emile, he’s generally fast asleep once she’s finished and I know he feels so relaxed after his massage”.
