Massage Therapy is Not Just for Humans Anymore
Therapeutic Massage for Horses and Dogs
Increasingly, massage is being recognized as useful in the animal industry,
from being a regular part of a racehorse's training regimen, to improving the quality of life of a senior dog or horse.
Our pets and our equine athletes can benefit from massage in many ways. Massage can assist dogs that are recovering from injury or surgery, that are suffering from age related or physical conditions such as arthritis or hip dysplasia. Massage can create a calming effect on a frightened or formerly abused rescue pet. It can also act as a preventative measure against muscle strain and injury in the competitive dog.
Massage benefits horses whose injuries require stall rest, or muscle manipulation with minimal energy expenditure and joint concussion . Massage is a perfect pre-event warm up or or post event cool down/recovery. The senior horse can benefit from increased circulation to the joints. Massage can enhance the natural healing process and it can provide a non-invasive compliment to conditioning and training efforts.
The Benefits of Massage:
Improves Muscle tone and circulation
Increases range of motion
Enhances the healing process
Aids in pain management
Clears the lymphatic system of toxins
Improves overall attitude and contentment
Our pets and our horses can and do feel as good after a massage as we do.
Massage is not and will never be a substitution for proper veterinary care.
