Kinected Canine travels across the country, but primarily serves Central Illinois (January-May & September-November) and the Pacific Northwest (June-August & Devember-January) with canine bodywork services targeted toward the canine athlete. Kinected Canine Owner Malee Powell, licensed human and canine massage therapist, stumbled across the idea of canine massage when one of her own agility dogs suffered a mild soft tissue injury. She became fascinated by soft tissue structures and how they work as a whole within other body systems.

This led Malee to seek education for canine massage followed by human massage. She has spent the past eight years with her hands on a variety of tissue in both species, with her focus being on medical and treatment-type work. Most recently, she became interested in chronic pain and how it plays into soft tissue health, and vice versa. Malee loves working with all dogs (athletes, aging dogs, and in between) and has a knack for reading dog body language and gauging comfort level with pressure.
