White Oak Clinical Canine Massage is owned by Amy Piper, a Clinical Canine Massage Practitioner who is fully insured and is a Member of the Canine Massage Guild & the International Association of Animal Therapists. 
For Results You Can See & Your Dog Can Feel
White Oak Clinical Canine Massage specialises in the rehabilitation and maintenance of canine soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, and fascia, to support and improve your dog’s musculoskeletal health, mobility, behaviour, pain levels, wellbeing, sport/working  performance, and quality of life. This affordable complementary treatment is conducted in a confidential, professional, and empathic manner, with your dog’s needs and comfort as my top priorities.
​
Through dynamic, strong, yet caring and safe manipulative massage, passive soft tissue stretching, myofascial release techniques, and the application of the science-led and successfully clinically-trialled Lenton Method®, White Oak Clinical Canine Massage helps dogs suffering from a variety of presenting conditions, including chronic pain, muscle/ tendon injuries, arthritis and other orthopaedic conditions, mobility changes, neurological conditions, self-mutilation, and behavioural problems, as well as maintaining muscular wellbeing in non-presenting dogs.   

Surprisingly, soft tissue injuries can often be a silent culprit for many musculoskeletal issues including musculoskeletal pain, compromised joint health, intermittent lameness, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Soft tissue injury can also exacerbate underlying orthopaedic conditions, and cause debilitating musculoskeletal pain. 

Download the FREE ‘5 Principles of Pain’ Assessment Chart here, to assess whether your dog is experiencing pain. This invaluable tool was created by Natalie Lenton, founder of the Canine Massage Therapy Centre and Canine Massage Guild. 

White Oak Clinical Canine Massage works to resolve or reduce these ‘5 Principles of Pain’ by rehabilitating muscles and soft tissues back to optimal health and purpose, therefore supporting optimal joint function and longevity. In other areas, Clinical Canine Massage promotes blood and lymph circulation, relaxation, and provides a supporting role in chronic orthopaedic pain management by addressing areas of overcompensation and rehabilitating soft tissue that are associated with the affected joints.

As part of my ethical code of practice, I adhere to the Veterinary Act and the Exemptions Order 2015.

This ensures best practice in welfare and training safety standards for your dog.

​I am also able to provide detailed veterinary reports based on my assessment findings of your dog’s presenting muscular, gait, posture, and passive joint range of movement.
