What are the benefits of animal massage? Isn it a frivolous expense?
As in humans, massage benefits your animal by easing chronic pain, aiding in injury recovery and just helping him/her to relax. Regular massage is a proactive way of supporting your animal’s health. 2. I pet and groom my animal often. How is massage different? Petting is a great way of showing your animal how much you love and care for him. Just like in humans, massage takes this further and focuses specific techniques on certain areas of the body to ease pain and promote healing. 3. Is pet massage mostly for geriatric animals? Animal massage benefits animals of any age. It can help young animals with their muscular and skeletal development and ease growing pains (especially with large breeds) and also reduce separation anxiety that a lot of puppies experience. In addition, massage benefits competitive level animals by assisting in injury prevention, shortening recovery time, and lessening the muscular/skeletal stress that can accompany changes in training routines.
