CANINE MASSAGE THERAPY
SCOPE OF CANINE PRACTICE
As a Certified Massage Therapist, I am trained to do
soft tissue manipulation with the ability to recognize hypertonicity,
soreness, spasm and injury, and to apply massage techniques to
aid in relaxation and healing. However, I am not trained as a
veterinary doctor or technician and therefore cannot diagnose
or give medical advice. Issues that I am not trained to address
will be referred to your veterinarian.
HOW IS MASSAGE THERAPY DIFFERENT FROM PETTING?
Massage therapy
is a focused and deliberate way of touching dogs. The intention
with each stroke is controlled as to technique and pressure. Palpation
and assessment can detect areas of tightness, pain and restrictions.
The massage therapist's hands can also be a conduit by which healing
energy flows to the dog.
