Shayna Caruso, CVT, CCRP

Therapist at Head2Tail

Hi, I’m Shayna CVT, CCRP. I’ve been a veterinary technician since 1990 and a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner since 2010. I specialize in pain management and massage therapy, and I’m passionate about helping animals move more comfortably and enjoy a better quality of life, especially our senior companions.

With decades of hands-on experience, I’ve seen how powerful the tools we use in Rehab can be. Whether it’s post-surgery recovery, arthritis or neurologic support, or improving mobility and strength, I love being part of the journey.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me hiking, kayaking, or crafting my own camping gear. I also play the drums and tinker with DIY audio projects. Most recently, I’ve been busy getting to know the newest addition to my home, a very handsome young cat I just adopted.

I look forward to meeting you and your animal family!
