Integrated Veterinary Care Initiative

Providing a professional service to meet the needs of your clients.

The Integrated Veterinary Care Initiative (IVCI) is a resource that demonstrates how clinical canine massage, a science-based complementary therapy, by working alongside veterinary practices, informing of findings and comparing information we can together ensure that dogs receive optimal care and support.

Educational Resources

To assist you in recommending clinical canine massage to your clients the Canine Massage Guild has produced an information pack for your practice and a ‘What’s your dog trying to tell you?’ guide for your clients. The brochure details the educational and professional standards I follow as well as my continuing professional development requirements, code of ethics and conduct.

I would be very pleased to come and chat to you and/or your team or deliver a more formal presentation.

Working Together

I abide by the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966 and Exemptions Order 2015 and never work on an animal without veterinary consent. Canine massage is an affordable treatment that not only assists dogs and their owners through recovery, recuperation and rehabilitation, it can also be used in preventative healthcare; helping dogs to maintain a happy and healthy life. By working closely with vets, physios and other therapists in a multimodal approach we can achieve the best possible results for the welfare of the dogs we treat.

Published Research

Through 2018-2019 Sparsholt and Winchester Universities are carrying out clinical trials on clinical canine massage therapy with particular focus on the Lenton Method® which incorporates a systematic and scientific method of advanced palpation skills to isolate the muscles and fascia for assessment and a unique set of direct myofascial release techniques that rehabilitate musculoskeletal injuries and provide chronic pain management for orthopaedic conditions such as arthritis and hip dysplasia.

Research results, papers and conferences will be published on the Canine Massage Guild site at a later date.
