Manual therapy involves the stretching and manipulation of limbs and muscles to identify and treat areas of abnormality and pain. Stretching your pet's muscles can aid in healing, improve flexibility, and reduce risk of injury in athletic or working pets.
Pet massages are similar to those we love as humans; however, our rehabilitation therapists perform the therapy in a much more medically calculated way, focused on the unique recovery goals for your pet.
Massage therapy aids in the circulation of fluids throughout the body which helps the joints and muscles flush toxins from their tissues. Massage also increases blood flow, lowers blood pressure, and improves cardiovascular health. The overall results of massage include reduced pain and stiffness, more flexibility, and a greater range of motion for your pet.
Our rehabilitation therapists can perform massage and stretching during your pet's session and also instruct you on ways to help them between visits yourself.
