Massage Therapy

Massage has been used to treat human aches and pains for thousands of years, and is now gaining wider acceptance as a therapy for cats and dogs.

The benefits of massage include:

• increases blood flow
• improves oxygen delivery to tissues
• accelerated muscle recovery
• breaking down adhesions
• release of myofascial trigger points
• mental and physical relaxation 

Massage provides immediate relief, but a series of regular treatments is usually required to bring about lasting improvement. It is often used in conjunction with other therapies to enhance their effectiveness. Our massage therapist can teach you how to administer massage at home to increase comfort between treatments.
