The focus of canine therapeutic massage is to support overall wellness of the dog. It offers relaxation, physical and emotional release, and improves bonding with humans by providing physical contact and loving intention. Canine therapeutic massage helps with:
• Maintaining muscle tone, range of motion, and flexibility
• Relieving pain and discomfort
• Speeding up the rate of healing
• Decreasing atrophy of muscle tissue
• Enhancing respiratory function
• Helping to keep joints flexible
• Aiding in emotional adjustment
• Relaxation: decreasing heart and respiratory rates
Therapeutic massage can also be beneficial for senior and convalescing dogs by helping organs do their job more easily, increasing the circulation of lymphatic fluid, and increasing their comfort and quality of life.
Canine Therapeutic Massages are $35 per session. A session can last anywhere from 20 minutes to 45 minutes depending on your dog's size and temperament. Initial sessions will run longer, as they include a client intake so that I can get to know your dog and you.
Canine Therapeutic Massages are done in YOUR home. Travel to your home within 15 miles of downtown Missoula is included in the price of the massage - if you live more than 15 miles from downtown, please contact me for travel rates.
A package rate of 5 massages for $150 can also be purchased and can be used for more than one dog.
