Prevention
- Massage encourages circulation which increases the amount of oxygen reaching the tissues. This enhances overall health.
- Improves muscle tone and mobility.
- Aids in elimination of toxins. This minimizes discomfort, stiffness and increases soft tissue pliability.
- Helps condition and maintain health of soft tissue.
- Aids in the prevention of trigger points (build up of lactic acid) which causes soreness.
Treatment
Massage enables an injured animal to decrease recovery time and assists in the correction of physical deficiencies and emotional challenges, helping achieve the body’s optimal performance.
Massage is particularly effective in treatment of injuries. If applied regularly, it reduces the time required for soft tissue injury rehabilitation and helps to support muscles and tissues surrounding a fracture.
