Dog Massage Therapy
Anyone who has every owned a dog understands that for the most part, dogs love to be petted. But for many dogs, massage therapy is a wonderful treatment for a variety of ailments as well as for overall well-being. Most insurance companies have begun to understand the importance of chiropractic care and massage therapy for people, but canine massage therapy is just beginning to work its way into the mainstream. Unfortunately, not everyone who practices dog massage therapy fully understands canine anatomy. If you are considering massages for your dog as part of a recovery from surgery or treatment for another problem like anxiety or arthritis, make sure to find someone in your area that is certified. Avoid doing any deep tissue massage yourself with your pooch as these techniques can be harmful if you don’t understand the underlying physiology.
