ENHANCE YOUR ANIMAL'S LIFE WITH MASSAGE & BODYWORK

Animal bodywork is centered on the circulation of blood and oxygen, muscle lengthening and central nervous system enhancement.

Using only the hands, soft tissues are manipulated to reduce muscle tightness, encourage tissue repair and help to detoxify the body.

Massage may help control side effects of chronic injuries and surgeries.

Massage can improve nutrition and sheen to the skin, which could reduce itching.

Studies show that massage strengthens the immune system and increases red blood cells.

Bodywork eases strain on the heart by returning blood to this vital organ more efficiently.

Bodywork may increase metabolism and energy production.

Massage can improve focus and disposition.

Massage helps ease the discomforts of the chronically ill.

Animal bodywork and massage is a non-invasive and effective adjunct to most medical and holistic procedures.

Massage before and after exercise may enhance performance and lessen injury.

NOTE: The body may increase symptoms for 3-7 days after massage and may uncover potential conditions before they become an injury. Make sure that plenty of water is available for your animal. Pre-Game and Post-Game massage is best suited for the day of an event. Always contact your vet prior to massage for your animal.
