Massage can help in so many ways.
Say “pet massage” and you might think of frivolous luxury and costly fees. Nothing could be further from the truth. A Certified Animal Massage Practitioner or Certified Canine Massage Therapists (yes there really are such people) can massage your pet and teach you to work with your pet for a healthier, happier, and more enjoyable life together.
Just as human therapies have evolved to include massage and body manipulation, pet professionals have recognized the value of massage for companion animals. While massage provides documented therapeutic benefits, the simple mechanics of massage and body manipulation are also an exceptional aid in making an early diagnosis of potential health problems. The benefits to your pet are extensive and include:
Other benefits of canine massage include: physical relaxation, reducing muscle spasms, warming up the muscles for competition, speeding up recovery from injury or surgery, improving muscle health, improving mobility for injured and senior animals, and helping relax aggressive and hyperactive animals.
All dogs can benefit from massage and stretching techniques. Whether your dog is involved in agility, conformation, flyball, hunting, obedience, working as a service dog, tracking, or just being the family pet, you can increase the flexibility and range of motion in your beloved dog through massage and stretching. Massage is also a terrific way to build trust and deepen the bond with your friend. It can even help to calm and quiet their minds.
