Why massage is important for the Canine Athlete:

​

Most dogs are natural athletes, and like dedicated athletes they "play through the pain".

Dogs won't tell you when they are stiff, sore, when they have pulled a muscle or when something just isn't quite right.

They will just tough it out, going about their daily business of walking, running, romping and playing with often no indication there is a problem until it becomes serious one.

Experienced Canine Massage practitioners understand the workings of a dog's muscular system and they can help to alleviate pain caused by a present or persistent problem and prevent injury.

Additionally just like therapeutic massage for humans it can help to reduce tension and stress levels in dogs of all ages and activity levels.

Highly active dogs (agility, flyball, racing, showing etc) can be more susceptible to developing trigger points and injuries.

​

Canine Massage enhances performance in all Sporting Dogs.

 

Do you notice poor agility performance in your dog, weave entry, measuring, knocking poles etc?

Canine massage can hugely benefit performance in these areas to name a few.

 

Massage assists Racing Dogs to achieve maximum performance including better range of movement, speed out of the gate, balance and agility and quicker recovery from muscle injuries.

​

Massage assists Show Dogs to achieve full range of movement, improves withers and toplines, and provides an overall more balanced mover.

 

Massage is also ideal for Working Dogs to enhance their performance while on the job.

​

Your everyday dog is a Canine Athlete. Think of what they do on a daily basis, running, jumping, playing, being a big puppy for most of their lives.

Whether your dog is a professional athlete or a family companion, Canine Massage is beneficial to all.
