Canine Massage in Hampshire
About me.....
Sarah Bradbury
Hi, I’m Sarah, owner of The Point Canine Massage.
​
I help dogs recover from injury, ease pain, and move more comfortably through skilled, evidence based massage therapy.
​

- Fully insured
- Complete ongoing professional development

​
My passion for canine rehabilitation comes from personal experience. I supported my own dog through an intensive six-month recovery following spinal surgery. From hind limb paralysis to independently walking again, his journey showed me just how powerful complementary therapies, especially massage, can be.
​
I also hold a Level 3 qualification in Canine Hydrotherapy (achieved in 2019), and I love seeing dogs benefit from gentle, non-weight-bearing exercise.
​
This is me with my Weimaraner, Jaeger. He has helped me to develop and learn this skill, being a great guide. He is a big part of our family (also mum to two active boys!) and I understand how much your dogs welfare means to you.
My goal is to help your dog recover, move better, and feel their best, whether that’s after injury, for performance, or simply for their comfort and wellbeing.
