What is Pet Massage Like, and Who Can it Help?
Massage therapy for pets includes the use of strategic pressure to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. Great for athletes, massage increases blood supply to joints, muscles, and nerves; stimulates circulation; and can even help prevent injury and post-workout soreness. Stimulating endorphin release, massage assists in the alleviation of pain.
Massage therapy can help speed up the recovery process while reducing discomfort and assisting in re-injury prevention. Additionally, massaging the body can release tension and relaxes many patients.
