The practice

Positive Animal Wellbeing offers holistic pet care — including Galen Myotherapy and Class IV Laser Therapy — in your dog's own home, along the coast from Estepona through La Duquesa to Sotogrande. As a qualified and fully insured practitioner, I use hands-on muscle massage and focused light therapy to ease pain, improve mobility and enhance overall wellbeing. Gentle, non-invasive treatment that promotes healing and relaxation.

Class IV Laser Therapy for dogs

Advanced, non-invasive low-level laser therapy for pain management, rehabilitation and regeneration. Light energy penetrates the skin and stimulates cellular activity — accelerating healing and reducing discomfort.

  • Natural analgesic (pain-relieving) effect
  • Accelerates tissue repair & cell growth
  • Faster wound healing & nerve recovery

Commonly used for arthritis, muscle strains, ligament injuries, wound healing and post-surgical recovery — and a good deal more besides.

Meet your therapist

Hello, I'm Christine.

I've always been passionate about animal welfare — their physical and emotional wellbeing. My boy Alfie, a Rottweiler-cross, was diagnosed with elbow dysplasia at six. Through laser and massage therapy I watched his comfort transform, mentally and physically.

After he passed, I trained in Galen Myotherapy — drawn to its gentle, choice-led ethos — and added Class IV Laser Therapy. Positive Animal Wellbeing is the result: gentle, expert care for the animals we love.

Common questions

Things people ask before booking.

What is Galen Myotherapy?

A hands-on massage and exercise rehabilitation therapy that improves joint, muscle and tissue health through myofascial release. It relieves tension and anxiety, improves circulation and lymph flow, and supports better posture and mobility. Treatment is choice-led: your dog is never forced and can move away at any point.

What is Class IV Laser Therapy?

A non-invasive light therapy for pain management, rehabilitation and regeneration. Light energy penetrates the skin and stimulates cellular activity, accelerating healing and reducing inflammation. It is commonly used for arthritis, muscle strains, ligament injuries, wound healing and post-surgical recovery.

Do I need a referral from my vet before booking?

No. Vet consent is not required in Spain, so you can book directly. We can work alongside your vet if required, so treatment fits with any care they are already giving. If your dog is unwell, in acute pain, or something has changed suddenly, please speak to your vet first.

Do you travel to us, or do we come to you?

I come to you. Every session takes place in your dog's own home, where they feel safe, anywhere from Estepona through La Duquesa to Sotogrande. Travel within 15 km of La Duquesa is included in the price, and beyond that it is €1 per kilometre. There is no clinic.

What does treatment cost?

The first visit is €70 and includes a full consultation plus a 20-minute session on the day. Each treatment after that is €50–70, depending on how long your dog needs and how big they are. All prices include IVA, and block bookings are discounted.

How long does a session take?

A typical treatment session is around 40 minutes. The first visit is longer, because it includes the full assessment, paperwork and treatment plan alongside the session itself. The exact length depends on what your dog needs on the day.

What happens at the first visit?

We meet properly and go through what is troubling your dog. I take photos and video, work through the comfort scale and the paperwork, and put together a treatment plan tailored to them. A 20-minute session is included on the day.

Will my dog be forced to take part?

Never. Treatment is choice-led and follows the Positive PACT approach: your dog is not restrained, held in position or made to do anything. They can move away, change position, or simply lie down and enjoy the massage. If they decline on a given day, the session ends there.
