Canine massage therapy is an alternative healing method that has become more and more popular in the US. This wonderful treatment method is being used to heal a variety of issues including mood, anxiety, aggression and even separation problems. Unlike humans, dogs cannot tell you when they are stiff or sore; however, massage therapy can serve as a proactive method to avoid these things.
Athletes: Whether your pup is a competitive athlete or just a park athlete, they can benefit from massage therapy. Massage therapy can keep their muscles warm and loose, which will prevent injury while increasing performance levels.
Rehab: Massage therapy can serve as a rehab method for your pup! If your dog has an injury or is recovering from surgery, massage therapy can help speed up the recovery process. While massage therapy will help with pain and inflammation, it can also decrease high stress levels that may occur as a result of their condition.
Behavior: Many dogs suffer from anxiety or behavioral issues. Therapeutic massage can help these pups by encouraging relaxation and development of positive interaction skills.
Puppies: Canine massage can be used to help socialize puppies! The human touch can make tasks such as going to the vet easier, as well as help them get used to being handled.
Make sure to talk to your vet before beginning massage therapy sessions on your pup. Your vet’s office can likely recommend a trusted massage professional who will take wonderful care of your beloved canine!
