Rehabilitation massage helps your pet’s natural healing process and complements a treatment program designed by your veterinarian.
Whether your pet has sustained soft-tissue damage or has undergone orthopedic surgery to reconstruct or replace a ligament or joint, recovery can be long and fraught with its own risks. Increasingly, veterinarians are encouraging owners to work closely with animal body workers to hasten and ease rehabilitation and ensure full recovery.
Massage administered in cooperation with the dog's veterinarian can shorten recovery time, prevent problems caused by muscle atrophy, decrease pain and discomfort, aid in preventing post-surgical re-injury, reduce scarring and adhesion, and ease the transition back to normal activity levels.
