Why animal massage?

I began working with pets when I noticed a lot of dogs walking around with injuries, and because of their nature never reacting to the pain.  It occurred to me that because every creature, in their own way, is an athlete they're going to sustain injuries that they'll hide as a survival instinct.

Why specialize in dogs?

Dogs are especially guilty of hiding pain and discomfort. They're the rugby players of the animal-athlete world so get the widest variety of injuries, but they're also masters of single-focus activity. They can't have pain and play, or have pain and eat, or have pain and chase the ball. So they choose to play, and eat, and chase the ball...and ignore the pain.

What can massage do?

Therapeutic massage can help detect, alleviate, and prevent conditions that can keep your pet from enjoying the freedom of movement they're supposed to have.  It can help restore and improve range of motion, agility and comfort, increasing quality of life. It can help your pet live and age well, and move through their life with the ease and joy they deserve.
