Massage has both physical and emotional
benefits for both people and dog / cat
/ horse / other pet. It's widely known that massage can be
very relaxing but it can do a whole lot more for both you and your
animal companion!
It can relieve muscle pain,
help you feel less stiff when you move,
and generally improve your state of
well-being. In athletes, whether they be people or animals—for
example sport horses, agility dogs, jogging companions, or great mousers—massage
can also increase athletic
performance. And speaking of athletes, ever been sore
the day after a athletic event, hike,
jog, bicycle ride, etc.? Well, the same thing happens to your
pets! Because it increases circulation,
massage can help relieve the soreness and restore a healthy flexibility.
But wait! Massage has other benefits for your animal companion. If
your animal is shy, massage
can help increase his/her feeling of self-worth. Highly excitable
animal? Can massage
help them? You bet! Have a dog /
cat / horse / other pet that always shows a stoic
face? Massage can help bring them out of their shells. We all know that
it feels good to have our bodies working smoothly and easily. No matter
what we are, whether dog,
cat, horse,
or human, massage can help us live painfree lives, and move with freedom
and grace. |
