Much like with humans, there are numerous benefits to getting regular massage therapy for your pet. Routine massage appointments help reduce anxiety, improve mobility, and support your dog or cat as they age. I'm happy to answer specific questions regarding your pet's needs.
Have you noticed stiffness, limping or that your pet is slow to stand? Particularly after strenuous exertion, travel, and increased stress massage can help alleviate tightness that builds in muscles allowing your pet to move easily.
Excessive licking, pacing, changes in appetite, and unusual aggression can all be signs your dog is experiencing anxiety. Whether a regular occurrence or increased due to household changes, aging, or other causes, massage can give your animal relief.
Is your furry friend reluctant to jump, slower on walks, having a hard time navigating uneven terrain or not as interested in their normal athletic activities? Have they been diagnosed with arthritis? Did they have an injury or surgery that impacted their mobility? Massage therapy can help prevent further loss and regain flexibility and mobility so that your pal can stay spry.
Have you seen or felt twitches in the muscle? They commonly occur along the back and can be relieved with massage.
Is your pet aging, lethargic, experiencing skin/coat issues? Massage helps the circulatory system flush fresh nutrients where they're needed most.
Support healthy aging, recovery from illness and surgery, and decrease chances of travel illness.
Massage therapy is not a substitute for veterinary care. If you have health concerns, please talk with your vet and discuss whether massage is right for your dog or cat.
