All dogs can use a good massage.
Massage helps injured dogs heal faster and improves circulation, and hand-body contact has been proven to help heal. Gentle manipulation of the injured area keeps it supple during the healing process, when weight bearing might be painful, and keeps the musculature from atrophying during inactivity. Many older dogs can use my help to continue to be active into a very old age. While younger dogs usually needmy help to improve their overzealous attitude and reverse shyness. I also work with badly injured and postsurgical dogs to help them improve beyond veterinarian expectations.
