| Have you ever thought about pampering your pooch with a weekly massage? It may sound a bit extreme to some, but the trend is catching on. Heal Animal Massage Therapy based in Portland, Oregon helps to heal pets that are in pain through the power of massage and similar services are popping up all across the US. Pet pain may vary from stress from boarding while you are away, to stiff joints from aging or just an active day at the park. Believe it or not, The International Association of Animal Massage & Bodywork has a certification program that allows people to learn the art of properly massaging animals.
Rubi, the founder of Heal Animal Massage Therapy , is helping pets feel refreshed and back to normal. She travels right to your door in order to provide a massage session in the comfort of your own home or will visit Doggie Daycares in her hometown. Another service she provides is a “basic dog massage class for owners”. This class teaches the basics of pet massages for owners to use on their pets when necessary. Portland TV news station KOIN-TV recently aired a story about Rubi’s massage therapy for dogs. Check it out HERE.
Many people now days are looking for a more cost-effective way for caring for their pets. Massage therapy is a great technique that works for boosting your pet’s immune system, helping them to breathe better and relieving pain from stiffened joints . This holistic technique also helps your pet’s circulation and digestion. Plus, an interesting bonus to massaging your pet is the reduction of excessive scar tissue. This in turn means better mobility for your pet.
Massage therapy is becoming more common every day. Services such as Heal Animal Massage Therapy are great sources to help you try something new to make your aging pet feel better when in pain. And if you are adventurous enough, you don’t have to continuously pay someone like Rubi to perform pet massage on an ongoing basis if you take a class or two to learn how to do it yourself. When your pet is in pain, it’s worth a try!
