The
benefits of regular massage in humans are well known and appreciated
and it is only
natural that we wish to ensure our animal companions receive the best
possible care too.
Regular
massage sessions can offer many benefits for your animal, providing
you with an
indication of its overall fitness and helping prevent chronic
conditions occurring.
This
is especially important for working animals and those regularly competing,
where
their muscles, tendons and ligaments are placed under extra stress
and strain.
Massage
and stretching can help improve your animal's quality of life in all
stages: from monitoring the developing youngster, assessing the animal
during training/competition work and assisting in maintaining mobility
and comfort in later life.
