April is “Adopt a Greyhound” month (see http://www.adoptagreyhound.com.au/). When adopting an ex-racing dog, understanding how the dog’s muscles have been developed for racing helps new owners recognise and treat the potential sites of soft tissue injury, so their new family member can happily settle into their new life.

When prospective clients ask if I will treat their dog while it is wearing a muzzle, I really understand their concern. As animal carers, we want our dogs to benefit from a treatment, but we want everyone to be safe. I completely understand because I have one of those dogs who potentially would need to be muzzled.

While my other “solutions” gave me short to medium term relief, they weren’t really addressing the root cause of the problem. Sometimes we take similar routes when our dogs have a soft tissue injury. We treat the symptoms, adjust our routines, and buy different collars or harnesses, until we find a therapy that actually addresses the soft tissue.
Canine myofunctional therapy is such as therapy. It encompasses canine massage, range of motion techniques, stretching, mobilisations, and exercise therapy. All of which promote proper muscle function for normal movement.
