Massage Therapy for Dogs

Overview

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.
Aromatherapy services in Red Bank, New Jersey provided with either canine massage or equine massage.
Aromatherapy uses naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to enhance the self-healing process. In the wild, animals instinctively choose plants that benefit them. Most modern medicines were originally derived from plants and natural healing methods. These essential oils and water-based hydrosols carry many benefits that help a wide range of issues, whether behavioral, physical, or mental.

Much More Than Relaxation

Canine massage therapy can alleviate the behavioral, emotional, and physical symptoms of pain or distress by removing tension, knots, realigning muscles and ligaments, and creating a more relaxed and balanced animal.

Does your pet show any of the following signs?

  • Stiffness
  • Limping or irregular gait
  • Walking or standing in a C-shape
  • Tail down and tight
  • Itching
  • Shaking
  • Lethargy
  • Getting up slowly and stiffly from a prone position.

How Does Massage Work?

Bodywork is an important aspect of holistic wellness and prevention, increasing healthy blood flow and removing imbalances in the muscle. As a result, the soft tissue can properly stabilize the vertebrae, tendons and ligaments. Canine massage also provides positive touch and desensitization as well as early detection of physical changes for pets of all ages and activity levels.

During the session, your therapist will provide a gait assessment and physical evaluation and therapy ranging in techniques best suited to your pet.
