Certified Canine Massage Therapy
Cindy became a Certified Canine Massage Therapist in January 2016 after completing the canine massage course at Royal Canadian College of Massage Therapy in Toronto, ON. She has always had a passion for helping & healing animals and this allows her another way to do so but in a natural, holistic manner.
Massage has a positive influence on both the physical and psychological well being of dogs of all ages and conditions.
Canine massage encompasses a number of techniques intended to:
- Support orthopedic conditions like arthritis, hip dysplasia, luxating patella & spondylosis
- Reduce pain & swelling
- Aid in recovery from surgery and/or injury
- Improve mobility & flexibility
- Resolve or improve lameness
- Break down knots and adhesions which inhibit movement
- Provide natural, non-invasive pain relief
- Increase circulation
- Prevent atrophy in inactive muscles
- Reduce stress & anxiety
- Decrease muscle spasm
- Improve (or recover from) Agility/Obedience/Flyball Performance
Most dogs tolerate massage therapy very well and enjoy the relaxing benefits after just the first session.
