MASSAGE
CANINE MASSAGE THERAPY
Canine massage therapy is a specialized and nurturing practice designed to promote the physical and emotional well-being of our dogs. I use deliberate techniques to target specific muscle groups, providing a range of benefits.
Your dog’s massage therapy session will last up to 45 minutes (Puppies under one year of age up to 30 minutes depending on touch tolerance.)
Benefits:
Pain Relief: Massage helps alleviate discomfort associated with arthritis, injuries, or muscular tension.
Improved Circulation: The therapy enhances blood flow, promoting better oxygenation and nutrient delivery to cells.
Increased Flexibility: Regular massage sessions contribute to improved joint flexibility and a fuller range of motion.
Stress Reduction: Dogs, like humans, can experience stress, and massage is an effective way to induce relaxation and reduce anxiety.
Enhanced Bonding: The hands-on nature of massage fosters a deeper connection between the pet and its owner or massage therapist.
Faster Recovery: For dogs recovering from surgery or injury, massage accelerates the healing process by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue regeneration.
Better Sleep Quality: Relaxing massage sessions can contribute to improved sleep patterns and overall restfulness for the dog.
Emotional Well-being: Massage has a positive impact on a dog's mental health, providing comfort and a sense of security.
CANINE MASSAGE WITH COLD LASER THERAPY
Enhance your best friend’s well-being through a combination of canine massage and cold laser therapy (aka red light) tailored to their unique needs. Cold laser therapy provides numerous benefits including relaxing your dog with the energy of the light. Your dog will also enjoy the soothing benefits of aromatherapy and music therapy, providing a truly relaxing session.
Red Light Therapy is an add-on to a massage or hydrotherapy session.

Elevating all services are:
Aromatherapies:
I incorporate a diffuser of lavender oil during the massage to help calm and relax your special pup.
Rescue Remedy aromas are flower essences used at the start of most massages. I place the scent on my hands and hold it so your pup can smell and enjoy it. Then, it can be safely rubbed on the dog’s ear, nose, or paws so it may enjoy the benefits for a while.
Music Therapy:
Clinically developed and tested Classical piano music is played during your pet’s massage. The music uses psychoacoustic techniques that naturally trigger relaxation or stimulated responses.
