Easing Paw Dog Therapy
We Come To You or You Can Visit our
Monrovia Location
Easing Paw offers dog massage, Reiki,
Tellington Touch (TTouch), and Healing Touch for
Animals® (HTA) techniques. These techniques will promote general health,
but can also help resolve a wide range of issues such as eating
problems, depression, stiffness, excessive barking and more.
The initial consultation involves meeting
you and your dog and discussing any issues you may be having.
Annette Ramseyer (CMT), the
therapist, will discuss the various massage and energy techniques, walk
you through the process and answer any of your questions.
How can your dog benefit from
massage, Reiki, Healing Touch for Animals® (HTA), Tellington Touch (TTouch)?
Is your dog depressed?
Many signs of canine
depression are very similar to human depression. Some symptoms of
depression in dogs can include:
•
Loss of appetite, weight loss, reduced water consumption
•
Lethargy, decrease in energy level, slow movement
•
Loss of interest in toys, loss of desire to play
Healing touch for Animals® and
the human interaction through TTouch or dog massage techniques such as Reiki can
work wonders with a depressed dog.

Does your dog suffer from anxiety?
Some signs of canine
anxiety are:
•
Excessive barking, licking or nervous behavior
•
Urinating or defecating in the house
•
Hiding
•
Destructiveness, attempts to escape the home or yard
Especially for younger dogs, many veterinarians will
tell you long-term use of some anti-anxiety medications can cause damage to your
dog's kidneys and liver.
For many dogs, HTA, TTouch and dog massage techniques can be
a great holistic alternative to using pills to treat anxiety or
depression or may help reduce the amount of medication needed. Common
anti-anxiety medication prescribed may be Chlomipramine, Amitriptyline,
Acepromazine, Fluoxitine (Prozac), and some allergy medications such as
Hydroxyzine Pamoate (Vistaril).
Has your dog had a recent injury or surgery?
Massage and energy work increase circulation, oxygen flow
and metabolism which helps to remove toxins such as anesthesia from the
system and promotes faster healing.
Does your dog require long-term pain management?
•
Hip dysplasia
•
Arthritis / joint problems
•
Cancer and end of life pain management
Pain management medications,
much like depression/anxiety medications, can have many side effects including
liver/kidney damage, a suppressed immune system, neurologic symptoms, and
various hormone imbalances when used over long periods of time. At times we may
choose life quality over quantity, but in many cases the detoxifying effects of
canine massage, TTouch, and HTA can be used to help mitigate side effects of
these medications. In some cases, massage and energy work can significantly
reduce the need for or completely replace such medications.
Is your dog perfectly healthy?
Even the healthiest and
happiest dog can benefit! Besides being a feel-good
indulgence for your pup, massage and energy work increase circulation,
elevate oxygen, release toxins, help the body absorb nutrients,
regulate hormones, promote healthy cell growth and more. Especially as a
regular wellness routine, these techniques help your dog maintain good
physical, mental and emotional well being.
Please note,
dogs exhibiting signs of serious illness or injury should be examined by a
veterinarian prior to massage to rule out any contraindications. Some common
systems of depression and anxiety may point to underlying health issues.
Some of our testimonials for
Healing Touch and Tellington Touch and dog massage
Charlie, Mino, Zack
The positive difference you have made in the lives of my three rescue dogs has
been wonderful. Your work over the past year has taken care of the severe
behavioral problems. When Zack was hit by the trash truck and when Charlie was
recovering from the new knee surgery, your physical therapy was very helpful
with the recovery process. You have brought calm and self confidence to the
lives of the dogs and helped greatly with my ability to control them.
Charlie, Mino, Zack and I thank you very much.

Spice Girl - Chow Mix
My 13 year old Chow mix "Spice Girl" has been getting treatment with Annette
since the beginning of 2010. She has shown remarkable improvement with her
flexibility!
She would have to often stretch and walked a little wobbly. With her energy and
massage treatments she can walk without any noticeable problems and has a bounce
like she had when she was a pup.
She seems to be more comfortable and confidant around strangers when we go on
walks. We even go on weekly hikes with my son's Boy Scout troop. (She is the
unofficial mascot).

Stretch - German Shepherd
Stretch our 14 year old German Shepherd got into a fight with a Mama Black bear
who wanted to defend her cubs when stretch barked and run after them. The female
bear grabbed Stretch around the neck and threw him from side to side. She was
letting Stretch know to leave her cubs alone. She could have killed him if she
wanted to. We have taken Stretch to many veterinarians. He had 3 compressed
vertebra and we were told he had only a few months to live. He was unable to
walk and would fall. His legs just would not support him. He was put on pain
killers. We started doing acupuncture which helped some.
Our veterinarian at Best Friends Animal Hospital in Monrovia told us about
Annette. We called her and she came up immediately. We started having Annette
work on him 2 times a week. We started to see improvements after the first week.
We increased his sessions 1 hr each session to 3 times a week. Stretch looks
forward to Annette's visits and is now part of the pack again. He will walk down
the road and up 50 steps from our house. He is a happier dog now and Annette has
made Stretch's life worth living.
Thank you Annette.

Chloe 6 year old Beagle
Ever since we took your 6 year old Beagle (she was a rescue) she has
become a different dog.
She suffered from depression and limped when walking long periods of time.
Annette has worked wonders with her (thru massage therapy and her
wonderful knowledge about animals). She is a changed dog. She's happy,
playful and gets along great with her 1 year old sister, LuLu.
We highly recommend Annette you will be happy with the results.
