Galen Canine Myotherapy in Simcoe County

At Kinder K9, every training plan starts with a simple goal: to help dogs live happier lives at home. Sometimes, behaviour challenges are rooted in pain. That’s why Lisa Buchanan made the decision to deepen her work and study Galen Canine Myotherapy, a science-based therapy focused on relieving muscular tension and improving movement.

After extensive training and in-person mentorship in the UK, Lisa is proud to be completing her diploma as the first Galen Canine Myotherapist in Canada. Myotherapy sessions offer a non-invasive, compassionate way to support dogs with chronic pain, mobility issues, or recovery needs. This complementary therapy should always include a Veterinary consultation and consent.

What Is Galen Canine Myotherapy?

Galen Canine Myotherapy is a hands-on therapy that utilizes targeted massage techniques to alleviate muscular discomfort, enhance mobility, and facilitate rehabilitation. Developed in the UK, this evidence-based approach is grounded in canine anatomy and behaviour, emphasizing comfort and consent throughout every session. It’s ideal for dogs with mobility issues, older pets showing signs of stiffness, or dogs recovering from injury.

What to Expect:

Each session is personalized, respectful, and focused on your dog’s well-being.
