GENTLE TOUCH PET MASSAGE
Wellness with a Healing Touch
Why Massage?
Pet massage is a natural, non-invasive therapeutic modality that promotes both physical and emotional well being to pets through touch and energy healing. While we often think that massage is best suited for our senior pets that may have limited mobility and stiff muscles, it is also for the athletic dog of any age. Massage at any age can help to restore flexibility and range of motion, prevent injury and provide relaxation and mental focus.
