There are many benefits to using massage as part of any canine physiotherapy treatment plan. Pain management is the main priority during any session and massage helps to ease tense and tight muscles which are a source of the discomfort. Not only does massage ease the pain of tight muscles but treatment of tight muscles can greatly improve functional movement of the animal. Massage also increases blood flow and lymphatic drainage throughout the body supporting the pet’s own healing mechanisms, ultimately promoting relaxation increasing overall pet wellbeing.
