Arthritic & Geriatric Dogs
Arthritis left untreated means severe pain and deterioration of quality of life. It may begin with your dog having difficulty rising or you may notice your dog begin to limp during the daily walk. The sooner the arthritic condition is addressed the better your dog will feel and be able to function. Therapeutic massage offers relief from pain and inflammation and breaks up adhesions which tend to form in the connective tissue of a stiff, arthritic dog. This, along with gentle stretching and passive range-of-motion techniques promotes flexibility and mobility. Quite simply, massage therapy can help your dog feel and walk better.
Orthopedic Conditions and Post Op
Cruciate ligament tears, herniated discs and hip dysplasia are painful and challenging conditions. An experienced massage therapist can help your dog by loosening constrictions in muscle and connective tissue which restrict movement. Massage treatment also improves circulation which is so important because it feeds and nourishes damaged muscles and connective tissue.
Young & Old
Massage therapy is a restorative tool for dogs of any age. The relaxation, rejuvenation and healing you may experience if you've had a massage is the same feeling your dog will get during a massage treatment. It is healing for everyone!
Anxious Dogs
The gentle,warm touch of a skilled and supportive massage therapist can work wonders in alleviating the worries and fears of an anxious dog. Whether suffering from separation anxiety or frightened by the noise of daily life, your dog can be calmed and relaxed with the comforting touch of an experienced massage therapist.
