CANINE MYOFUNCTIONAL THERAPY (CMT)
Professional Canine Massage
Why do dogs need massage? Just like humans, dogs can accumulate muscular tension and suffer injuries caused by daily activities, but they are resilient to pain and tend to hide their injuries. Whilst dogs in our society often experience a phenomenal level of care and support, they also face certain challenges to their health and co
mfort that are caused by the very nature of being a dog. Issues such restricted movement can be triggered by:
• Being confined in a kennel or crate
• Boredom
• Not having enough space to run
• Injuries caused by rough play and jumping
• Pulling on their leads and making their necks especially vulnerable
Certain breeds are also prone to specific genetic weaknesses such as:
• Musculo-skeletal conditions:
• Hip and elbow dysplasia
• Luxating patellas
Dogs can also experience psychological issues such as dog and food aggression and separation anxiety. Professional canine massage may address a range of physical, neurological, circulatory and structural conditions in canines, improve immune functioning and help to reduce or eliminate chronic habits and patterns. Professional canine massage can quickly provide visible results and may assist with:
• Unresolved muscular issues
• Speeding recovery from injury
• Signs of ageing and slowing down
• Skeletal alignment and posture
• Stiffness and slowing down
• Relieving pain and swelling
• Arthritis, tendinitis and bursitis
• Hip and elbow dysplasia
• Improving joint functionality
• Mobility and weight issues
• Performance and athleticism
• Reducing the risk of injury and speed recovery
• Separation anxiety and fearfulness
• Strengthening bond and connection
Professional canine massage is also ideal for:
• Injuries or arthritis
• Body awareness
• High energy dogs
• Canine athletes
• Relaxation
