Whether your dog is a bouncy 2-year-old or a wise old soul slowing down, massage can make a real difference to how they feel every single day. 🐾 It calls for a sound, comprehensive knowledge of the dog’s muscular make-up and anatomy. Many times people say ' I massage my dog at home' – and, no doubt, a gentle massage can be very soothing for the animal. But this is a world away from delivering the
benefits of a professional massage. When carried out by a trained professional, massage can bring about profound positive change and significantly improve your dog’s health and mobility. Therapeutic Canine Massage is an effective physical therapy for dogs. Unlike canine physiotherapy which concentrate on strengthening the muscle canine massage lengthens and softens the muscle. I´m a professional Canine Masseuse, trained in Canine Anatomy and Physiology. I´m also trained in 4 modalities of massage; Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports and Myofascial Release. As well as being great for general well being, canine massage has many more benefits:
Improved Mobility. Improves the ability to exercise. Improvement in weight bearing on all four limbs. Effective Form of Pain Management. Helps the dog to have a better quality of life. Improves flexibility and muscle tone. Improves Range Of Motion. Interrupts neurological pain signals and reduces chronic pain associated with conditions such as Osteoarthritis and Hip Dysplasia. Relieves stress, anxiety and depression. Reduces adhesions, scarring and swelling. Improves the condition of the skin, the bodies largest organ. Reduce post surgery recovery times i.e.: cruciate ligaments. Massage is a natural method of managing your dogs health and prolonging their quality of their life.
