A healthy diet is only one part of the equation. Optimum function is derived from the combination of glucose, from food, and oxygen, which is carried through the bloodstream. The joining of these two elements gives our pet the fuel for movement. Any disruption in the free flow of oxygen will have an impact on this movement. Illness or injury, overexertion, lack of exercise or the aging process can all lead to circulation issues that will affect maximum efficiency of movement. Once movement is compromised, the muscle system becomes stressed and the possibility for additional problems exists. A therapeutic deep tissue massage will increase circulation, thereby aiding the flow of oxygen throughout the muscle system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155dbed832c1a1f87f061d7/bb035a87-f6df-4769-94ed-4d17e0f142cd/dom.jpg Canine Massage Therapy - Massage Therapy for Rehabilitation Physical therapy is most often applied after an injury. Massage can be a valuable component of physical therapy. However, we as therapists believe that an animal does not have to wait to be injured to be helped by massage. Does and horses are natural athletes. Sports massage is a deep tissue massage technique that addresses the issues that an athlete may face. The muscle system is, after all, the system that is responsible for movement. Anything requiring movement depends on well- functioning muscle. A muscle contracts 2/3 its length. If a muscle is 6 inches long, it will contract 4 inches. If a muscle becomes stressed (due to use or misuse) that muscle will shrink in length, thereby shortening the contraction. This, in turn, will shorten movement…. smaller steps, smaller stride; less bend, less ability to turn the body. Massage, through increased circulation, lengthens muscle and connective tissue…back to full stride and flexibility/mobility. Just as we exercise to maintain fitness, regular massage will help muscles stay toned and healthy. Healthy muscle is less likely to become damaged. Thus, massage is a wonderful preventative and a powerful addition to your animal’s well- being. If an injury does occur, massage can be used as a rehabilitation tool. **No referral needed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155dbed832c1a1f87f061d7/73c072d6-07f3-4e7f-87f0-55e97a6e9b33/_1277486+%281%29.jpg Canine Massage Therapy The Massage In order to properly treat the whole animal, each massage session consists of a full body massage. Muscles are compensatory. If there is a problem, for example, in the hips, the animal will adjust his weight forward to ease the strain behind. As a result, the front end then becomes over-worked. A full body massage will help to restore balance in movement and comfort. Each session is approximately 50 to 60 minutes. I work twenty-three muscle groups on each side of the body. It is important that your pet has access to plenty of water post-massage. The increased circulation is a boost to the metabolism, which will increase thirst and possibly urination. It is not unusual to see a quick burst of energy post– massage, followed by heavy sleep (Or the opposite ! ). https://www.caninefitnessunleashed.com/https/connectwithyourk9com/training-services/puppy-fitness-seminar daily 0.75 2025-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155dbed832c1a1f87f061d7/ec1db051-a18c-4f4c-a58a-be62f8e5f6b5/thumbnail_IMG_2347.jpg Seminars/Work Shops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155dbed832c1a1f87f061d7/d7db4701-3391-41b0-9fcc-780beef1bfd9/IMG_6257.jpg Seminars/Work Shops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155dbed832c1a1f87f061d7/9c77775d-b6c8-4ea3-96eb-ab71b7a3eb88/thumbnail_IMG_9165.jpg Seminars/Work Shops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155dbed832c1a1f87f061d7/e94e3963-eacb-434f-a771-0930ff02c9fa/kato.jpg Seminars/Work Shops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155dbed832c1a1f87f061d7/39362569-8b6b-4131-897b-85d8432f3a03/IMG_4743.JPEG Seminars/Work Shops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155dbed832c1a1f87f061d7/330a2fde-0e10-457e-a5f4-eccb9f27de17/IMG_5538.jpg Seminars/Work Shops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6155dbed832c1a1f87f061d7/83c55d46-7772-41ed-a627-f8322866c429/thumbnail_IMG_3224.jpg Seminars/Work Shops
