Animal Massage Therapy

Massage is more than a rub. It is focused, careful, and precise touching. It eases lower back pain, arthritic hips, hip dysplasia, and enhances emotional bonding and trust. The many benefits of animal massage therapy include easing boarding time and helping to relieve the stress of animals caused by anxiety and depression, seen especially in rescue animals. Animal massage therapy can help relax the tight and tense muscles in the body of your animal.

What are the specific long-term benefits of animal massage therapy?

• Relaxes sore, stiff muscles, relieving pain in older animals
• Increases flexibility and range of motion
• Reduces the risk of injury in high-energy animals
• Improves performance in high-energy animals
• Enhances the immune system
• Increase oxygenation into muscles and tissues
• Increase elasticity of muscles for high-energy animals in agility contests
• Increase range of motion, flexibility, and stride length especially in old dogs
• Increase performance level at shows and events and reduce recovery time
• Release stress and tension

Gentle massage induces chemicals called cytokines. These chemicals bring down the level of stress hormones that weaken the immune system. The result is improvement in blood and lymph circulation. Whole body massage relaxes the animal to the extent that the animals sometimes fall asleep in therapy, which releases stress, helps to build trust, and eases boarding time.

At Easing Paw, animal massage therapy is used for all diseases. It is a modality that keeps the spirit up, producing more stamina, allowing animals to eat better and be more active. It helps to eliminate signs of depression, produce a stable immune system so the the body can fight harder against all diseases or problems, and allow animals to be more active and act like themselves.

It especially helps with the kind of pain produced by joint problems, hip dysplasia, and arthritis. It also helps with stressful situations in general, seen for example in very sensitive animals.
