WHY WOULD MY DOG NEED A MASSAGE?

MY DOG HAS HIP/SHOULDER/KNEE DYSPLASIA.

      Massage can reduce swelling and inflammation easing the discomfort of these joint problems. Increased blood-flow removes toxins and releases endorphins to ease soreness. Massage will strenghten the muscles for better mobility.

MY DOG WAS RECIENTLY INJURED OR IS RECOVERING FROM SURGERY.( Such as ACL or TPO)           

      Massage increases blood flow and quickens the healing process by bringing oxygen and nutrients to the area.  It can reduce swelling and releases endorphins to reduce discomfort. Gentle range of motion lessens muscle atrophy.     

MY DOG IS AN ATHLETE: AGILITY, FLY BALL, FRISBEE,  HERDING, OR PLAYS TOO HARD AT DOG PARK

     Just like human athletes, massage keeps muscles in top condition and relieves  minor aches and strain from over working the muscles. 

MY DOG IS A SENIOR.

      Massage increases circulation, this helps the older dog with removing toxins from the body, improves digestion and can relieve the pain of arthritis. It promotes overall health and happiness.

MY DOG WAS BITTEN BY ANOTHER DOG.

After the wounds have healed the muscle underneath still have trauma and adhesion. Massage will help to restore the muscle to their previous state and increase range of motion.

MY DOG IS MY BEST FRIEND.

Massage is the practice of applying structured pressure, tension, motion, or vibration — manually or with mechanical aids — to the soft tissues of the body, including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, joints and lymphatic vessels, to achieve a beneficial response. A form of therapy, massage can be applied to parts of the body or successively to the whole body, to heal injury, relieve psychological stress, manage pain, and improve circulation.
