What is Massage Therapy?
Massage therapy is the manipulation of soft tissues in the body to improve muscle and joint function by relieving tension, spasm, or other restrictions to proper motion. Massage can also be used for warm-up purposes, for relaxing or stimulating muscles in order to prevent injury, or for rehabilitation of a patient after an injury has occurred. Massage is also used to improve nerve stimulation and circulation of blood and lymphatic fluid. Massage therapy may minimize injuries in sport dogs and enhance the patient's recovery speed for dogs who have an acute injury. Dogs with decreased mobility from chronic injuries may benefit from massage therapy, which can improve their range of motion and decrease pain.

About The Session
The session will incorporate elements of traditional canine massage, trigger point massage, acupressure, and/or other modalities to improve flexibility, promote circulation, reduce tension, and alleviate discomfort. Dogs can be massaged on a massage table or on the floor, depending on their preference and comfort level.
Sessions are 30 minutes in length and cost $60. Sessions are for one dog at a time, but we can book back to back appointments for you. Sessions are held in a private, climate controlled room that allows the perfect space for your dog to relax. Please contact us for upcoming dates! Siny visits us from NJ and is here every few months!
