Animals benefit from massage in the same way we do. Massage releases the
body's natural pain relievers called endorphins. Massage therapy increases circulation of blood, nutrients, lymph, and oxygen to the tissues. It promotes healing, while it cleanses the body of its metabolic waste.
Massage is especially helpful for arthritic and senior animals, growing young animals, athletic and competitive dogs, working dogs, recovering animals, and fearful and stressed animals. Massage offers healing benefits to all animals.

When I work with an animal, I obtain a detailed history from the owner, talk with the veterinarian, and pay attention to cues from the animal.
Observing an animal move provides valuable information as to what areas of the body may need special attention.
Massage Therapy used in conjunction with veterinary care can optimize your pet’s health and reduce pain.
Massage does not eliminate the need to see a veterinarian for medical treatment. Discuss questions and concerns with your veterinarian prior to massage session. This will help pet owners relay specific information to the massage therapist so sessions are catered to the pets specific needs.
