Benefits of Pet Massage
Canine massage provides therapeutic benefits to dogs in the same way it does for humans. It is an excellent tool for achieving and maintaining optimal health for any dog at any stage of life. During a massage toxins are released from the body promoting physical, mental and emotional wellness. Every massage is designed specifically for your dog’s needs and well-being. Sessions are provided in your home. Cold laser and Healing Touch® may also be incorporated with massage to help the body heal itself. Massage does NOT replace veterinary treatment but is an excellent gentle and non-invasive addition to health care. Our animal companions give us so much and they deserve the gift of touch from a professional massage provider. Human touch provides a sense of safety, love, communication and connection.
Canine massage promotes health and wellness using touch to maintain and improve the physical and emotional well-being of your dog. Benefits can include: relaxation, relief from pain, improved joint flexibility, improved circulation to joints, acceleration of fracture healing, compensation for lack of movement due to injury, old age or inactivity, and encourages the body to move in more positive and non-habitual ways.
