Massage therapy relieves muscle pain and assists in the prevention of future muscle injuries. Animals experience many of the same aches, pains, and physical conditions as people; receiving the same benefits from this type of therapy. OUR TECHNIQUE
The massage routine used by our therapist is an integration of sports massage strokes and the Tellington Method®. A signature stroke for the shoulders that was designed in collaboration with a veterinary chiropractor is used in each session. Each animal receives a full body treatment. HOW THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE MAY HELP:
Performance and Working Animals
* relieving muscle pain and fatigue increases
willingness to work and play
* releasing muscle knots increases muscle efficiency
* keeping muscles supple allows greater range of
motion and helps prevent future injuries
Recovery From Surgery and Injury
* massage reduces inflammation and swelling, expels
toxins and releases natural painkillers
* promotes relaxation, which helps the body heal itself
Joint Problems and Senior Animals
* releases muscle knots formed while compensating
for joint pain
* reduces muscle stiffness from improper body
mechanics
* helps bring comfort to older, arthritic animals
Animal Massage in NOT a substitute for veterinary care.
