Great & Small Canine Massage & Core Conditioning
I am Gill Hornsby and I trained with the fabulous Natalie Lenton at the Canine Massage Therapy Centre.
I completed a 2 year, intensive programme, with over 800 hours of study, on anatomy, the law, physiology and then working hands on, developing the massage techniques that I use.
I am a member of the Canine Massage Guild and complete CPD every year to ensure my knowledge and skills are up to date as well as learning new things.
I discovered canine massage after seeing the benefits it had on a Newfoundland who was struggling with hip dysplasia and muscle wastage. The monthly maintenance sessions gave him an additional year, without requiring pain relief, and having owned a Newfoundland myself, who had identical problems I then realised that I too wanted to be able to help dogs, and their owners, in the same way.
I undertook core conditioning training after discovering how much massage and conditioning complemented each other.
I completed a year's training with the Canine Conditioning Academy and am licensed to run Foundation, Intermediate & Advanced conditioning programmes for dogs.
I share my life with my 3 furry companions, Floyd & Ralph, who are miniature dachshunds, and Norman, who is a retired racing Greyhound, whom I adopted after visiting Perry Barr Greyhound Rescue Centre on one of my massage practical weekends.
