What canine massage can do for your dog
Just like humans, dogs of all types enjoy the sense of relaxation, increased circulation and decreased anxiety a massage will provide:
Senior Dogs - Massage addresses the symptoms of aging. It helps increase circulation and flexibility, decrease pain from tight muscles and aching joints, while boosting nourishment to coat and skin through the enhanced blood flow.
Weekend Warrior Dogs – Massage helps decrease sore/stiff muscles and helps to promote flexibility and joint range of motion. And this can aid tremendously in reducing the incident of injury for high energy active dogs.
Rehabilitative Dogs – Massage can begin as early as two days post surgical to assist the healing process and help prevent scar tissue. Ongoing massage can enhance healing – especially in conjunction with other rehabilitative treatments.
Fearful/Timid Dogs - Massage can help reduce the anxiety and help abused canines learn to trust and enjoy human touch and interaction. Gentle, slow strokes and focused techniques encourage relaxation and bond-building,
