CANINE MASSAGE
CANINE MASSAGE THERAPY
Massage is a form of communication, it is touch with intent. Canine massage is a way to be in touch with your dog, to help improve the health of your dog and to monitor the overall condition of your dog. Therapeutic Canine Massage works on the soft tissue and muscles of your dog, manipulating them to improve your dog's mobility and flexibility. I work to release tightness and tension in painful muscles, relax muscle spasms, release trigger points, improve circulation, reduce pain and promote the natural healing process of the body.
Who is Canine Massage Therapy for?
Massage is not only for working or performance dogs, any dog, of any age or breed, can suffer from musculoskeletal injuries which could come about by repetitive strain during daily exercise or over compensation issues from an undiagnosed injury or illness. Massage can also help to relieve pain endured by dogs suffering from ongoing orthopaedic conditions such as arthritis or hip dysplasia. It will help improve mobility and can be used as part of the rehabilitation process following surgery.
