Woof and Answer: My dog is very active and loves to jump and play Frisbee, but I’ve noticed that sometimes he flinches when I touch his flank. Can I help him relax his abdominal area using The Masterson Method?

Answer: Absolutely! Since most major muscle groups converge and attach to the back and midsection, doing The Masterson Method bodywork anywhere on your dog’s body can indirectly benefit the abdominal area. The abdominal oblique muscles run along the ribs, abdominal fascia, pelvic points, and groin, assisting in flexing and bending—movements your dog likely uses a lot during Frisbee play.

Using the Search-Response-Stay-Release technique around the flank area can help release tension in these critical muscles, relax the diaphragm, and improve your dog’s breathing rhythm. The Flank Points start at the pelvic region and extend through the abdomen, rib cage, and trunk.

Here’s how to help:

▪️Use your fingertips to Search gently, barely touching the hair in the flank area.
▪️Watch for a Response, like a blink or other subtle change.
▪️Once you see a response, Stay at that spot using the same light pressure.
▪️Wait for your dog to show a Release, such as licking, chewing, or yawning.
▪️Repeat the process throughout the flank area.
