PET MASSAGE

FIND A PET MASSAGE THERAPIST

WHAT IS A PET MASSAGE THERAPIST:

Pet massage therapy is the application of therapeutic massage techniques adapted to animals, primarily horses and dogs.  Equine massage and canine massage may help with the early detection, contributory factors, treatment and restoration of musculoskeletal imbalances.  


It also plays an important role in chronic pain management and rehabilitation following injury. It has a soothing effect on the nervous system which in turn can help to reduce stress and anxiety.  


A qualified massage practitioner could be key in helping your horse or dog maintain its current mobility and fitness, increase it (especially for competition), or in addressing restrictions and imbalances.  Equine and canine massage can also be referred to as sports massage or massage and rehabilitation.

What is a Nationally Board Certified Practitioner? 


A practitioner of massage manipulates the soft tissues of the body with deliberate and focused touch, and may perform passive range of motion, to produce various physiological, neurological, and psychological effects supporting both physical and emotional wellness.  ​  


An acupressure practitioner applies the theories of Tradition Chinese Medicine to support emotional or physical well-being, though pressure on specific acupressure points, know through thousands of years of clinical observation to have a functional and energetic effect.   ​  


A Nationally Board Certified Practitioner of Animal Acupressure or Massage has taken at least 200 hours of education, with extensive training in anatomy, physiology, pathology, kinesiology, behavior, ethics, biosafety, and at least 50 hours of hands-on training in acupressure or massage. They have passed our rigorous exam and signed our ethics pledge.
