"I highly recommend Kristen's services because I learnt first hand how effective her treatments and integrated therapies are. My 28 year old mare showed significant improvement in her flexibility and overall movement after only 2 sessions."

Treatment of Dogs:
"I would highly recommend Kristen Giglio as a massage therapist for your pet. Our eleven year old labrador, Tim, had a badly atrophied hind leg after ligament surgery and nothing we tried could strengthen the leg. One vet suggested amputation was the kindest route to take. Through a friend we heard about Kristen and decided to see what a weekly massage would do for our old guy. Within a month we noticed the muscle tone was returning and he was placing more weight on the leg. Kristen explains what she is doing, works well with animals and readily shares her knowledge and experience. She assigned exercizes and stretches and was vigilant in ensuring we were doing them correctly. Tim is happy to see her each week and tolerates some of her deep treatments as if he knows she is helping him get better.

"We were told that our Mastiff might need surgery when he began limping at age 2 after long walks and ball-playing. Our vet worried that it might be a partial tear in one of his cruciate ligaments. After months of giving him supplements and walking him lightly there was very little change. We hired Kristen to see if she could make a difference before going the surgery route. After only one massage therapy session Angus's muscles tension in his hips and legs dissapeared and after a few days he was no longer limping. It has been over a month now and Angus is still walking properly, limp-free! We can't thank Kristen enough for giving Angus the treatment he needed and us the peace of mind knowing he's not permanently damaged. "
