Alternative Therapies, Massage
Sep 14th 2023
We all know how nice a massage feels to us, but did you know that massage is also a great therapy for our animal friends, too? Equine, canine, feline and more can benefit from this wonderful, hands-on approach to whole-body wellness.
There are several different massage styles and techniques including:
- Sports massage
- Shiatsu
- Reiki
- T-touch
- Trigger-point
- Craniosacral
- Acupressure
- and so many more
Some benefits include:
- Calming
- More supple muscles
- Improved circulation and flexibility
- Boosted immune system
- Decreased pain and inflammation
- Increased injury recovery
- and much more
While it is recommended that a professional massage therapist is hired so as to not inadvertently harm your animal, some basic massage techniques can be easily learned with some great tutorials online – or even take your own course through Holistic Animal Studies!
You can also purchase our Scratch Me Silly to get a dual massage/scratch benefit for your animal companion or our famous Scratch n’ All pads and let your animal do their own scratch/massage whenever they so please! Trust us, they’ll thank you!
