Sports Massage can prevent future injuries.
If your dog is an active working dog, does sports
or just loves to fetch, the sports massage can help
keep your dog ready for action.
The massage gives relief from muscular pain and
allows contracted muscles to relax and release. It
can be used pre-event to warm up the muscles and
prevent injuries – giving your dog the best start
possible.
After an event it helps release lactic acid from the
muscles thereby preventing stiffness. It facilitates
recovery by reducing build up of fibrous tissue and
the dogs flexibility is restored by including stretching
after the massage is done.
Sports Massage can also be used as maintenance
by contributing to the overall health of the body
letting your dog function efficiently.

how working dogs can benefit from sports massage.

Please remember that massage is never a substitute for veterinary care.
