Canine Massage

Picture

The benefits of canine massage for your pet are similar to the benefits of massage that you experience during a massage treatment. Canine therapeutic massage focuses on manual techniques applied to the muscles and other soft tissues to help improve blood and lymphatic flow and decrease tissue stiffening and pain.

Our Canine massage therapist works closely with the Rehabilitation Technicians to formulate treatment plans to aid in the healing process of your pet. In addition to several other treatment techniques, massage can help to:
  • Reduce your pet's inflammatory process
  • Restore normal soft tissue environment
  • Establish normal range of motion
  • Improve circulation

Massage induces a relaxation release in your pets that aids in the healing properties of the immune system, reduces inflammation, as well as aids pets with digestion, anxiety, and emotional/behavior issues, pain, stiffness, sleep issues and more.

 
We use varied approaches and techniques, incorporating a broad spectrum of methods and tactics, to treat soft tissue dysfunction. Our therapist will determine the most appropriate and effective treatment in order to normalize soft tissue dysfunction, improve flexibility, restore proper movement patterns in order to allow strengthening and conditioning as recommended by the Rehabilitation Technicians.

The trust and safety of your pet is always first and foremost at Vanguard Veterinary's Rehabilitation Facility. We strive to make your pet as comfortable as possible during the healing process.
