Canine massage is a non-invasive, hands-on therapy that treats the whole body rather than just the area of pain. It rehabilitates muscular injuries by manipulating the dog's soft tissue structure. It helps to improve relaxation, relieves pain, improves joint flexibility and helps boost the immune system.
