Canine massage has lots of benefits supporting your dog's health and wellness. Think of how good you might feel after a massage - our pooches can feel the same benefit (and more!) as well. If your dog has had surgery or has a condition such as hip or elbow dysplasia or takes part in agility or flyball teams - massage can be crucial in their care and recovery.
Here are some of the benefits and uses canine massage can have:
Improve flexibility and limb range of movement
Post surgical rehabilitation
Helps to manage some challenging behaviours like anxiety
Can help improve muscle tone and strength
Pain relief and non drug pain management
Endorphin release (happy hormones)
Increased blood circulation helping to aid wound healing
Overall improved quality of life and wellness for senior dogs
Canine massage can work well on its own or in combination with other therapies such as hydrotherapy, acupuncture, chiropractic care and your own vet treatment and management.
