Therapeutic Massage

Animal massage is deliberate and focused touching, with each stroke being specific in pressure, direction, and intention. The manipulation of muscles and skin promotes various physiological, neurological, and psychological effects in the animal’s body, supporting physical and emotional wellness. An animal massage practitioner uses their hands, arms, and elbows to assess and facilitate optimum performance, comfort, and injury prevention depending on the animal’s needs. The practitioner may employ a range of motion techniques. Massage supports homeostasis, the body’s natural desire for balance. Animal massage is never a substitute for veterinary medicine.
