About the Service

Canine massage therapy involves the manipulation of soft tissues, muscles, and joints to promote relaxation, alleviate pain, and improve overall well-being in dogs. During a massage session, our trained therapist uses various techniques such as stroking, kneading, and stretching to target specific areas of tension or discomfort. This therapeutic approach not only helps to relieve physical tension but also encourages emotional relaxation, reducing stress and anxiety in canine patients.

At Cooper Animal Rehab and Wellness, canine massage therapy is a valuable component of our rehabilitation services, particularly for dogs suffering from mobility issues or musculoskeletal ailments. Massage can help increase circulation, reduce inflammation, and enhance flexibility, which are essential for improving mobility and range of motion in dogs. By targeting areas of pain or stiffness, massage therapy can also help identify any underlying issues that may require further attention.

In addition to its physical benefits, canine massage therapy provides an opportunity for therapists to palpate and assess any other potential pain spots or areas of concern in the dog's body. This hands-on approach allows therapists to identify areas of muscle tension, joint stiffness, or restricted movement, which can guide our development of personalized treatment plans tailored to your dog's specific needs.

Moreover, canine massage therapy offers a bonding experience between the dog and their therapist, as well as with their owner if present. Many dogs find massage to be deeply soothing and enjoyable, making it a positive and rewarding experience for both the canine patient and their caregiver. Overall, canine massage therapy is not only a great way to address mobility issues and musculoskeletal ailments but also a relaxing and beneficial form of therapy that enhances the overall well-being of our furry friends.
