About Lisa

I am a qualified canine musculoskeletal practitioner specialising in hands on therapeutic interventions to support comfort and mobility in dogs. I integrate clinical canine massage therapy with functional osteopathic body work techniques to deliver safe evidence-based care, individually tailored to each dog following thorough assessment.

​

I work within my professional scope in collaboration with veterinary professionals where appropriate with the aim of optimising musculoskeletal function supporting rehabilitation and enhancing overall quality of life for each dog in my care.

​

My  approach integrates a wide range of advanced techniques, including:

​

• Skilled canine massage methods such as Swedish, sports, deep tissue, trigger point therapy

• Advanced myofascial release techniques, including both direct and indirect myofascial release, myofascial unwinding, and Myofascial Release Lenton Methods™

• Craniosacral therapy

• Passive stretching, joint mobilisations, oscillations, and articulations

• Electrotherapies, including therapeutic laser

• Individually prescribed canine rehabilitation and fitness exercise programs

These methods are supported by research and are designed to alleviate pain, restore mobility, and improve overall wellbeing.

I have recently completed my qualifications as a veterinary pain practitioner, expanding my ability to support dogs experiencing both acute and chronic pain conditions. I am also a licensed canine fitness and conditioning coach through the Canine Conditioning Academy, enabling me to design and deliver safe, functional strength, conditioning, and performance programmes for sporting and working dogs, as well as for those recovering from injury.

I have also completed a clinical nutrition diploma, further broadening my scope to offer evidence-based nutritional advice and consultations to support canine health, rehabilitation, and long-term wellbeing.

All consultations take place in my dedicated canine treatment and wellness clinic based in South Nottingham. This purpose-built space has been designed with dogs in mind, providing a calm and comfortable environment for:

• Hands-on clinical treatment

• Musculoskeletal pain assessments 

• Clinical nutrition consultations

In addition, I have recently launched a rehabilitation and performance clinic with a focus on:

• Canine fitness and conditioning

• Structured rehabilitation programmes

• Postural and gait analysis

Experience & Special Interests

​

Outside of my professional work, I enjoy a wide range of canine sports and activities with my 11-year-old German Wirehaired Pointer. Together we have competed at a high level in agility and canicross, and now take part in gundog work, tracking, scent work, and hoopers.
