So how many of you dog owners were dragging your dog out for numerous daily walks in a bid to battle the boredom of lockdown? Was Fido hiding in a cupboard wishing you’d leave him alone to rest from pounding the pavements for hours?
Relentless exercise, particularly on pavements or constant ball chasing can place extreme stress on your dog’s body and limbs. When muscles are worked, lactic acid and other waste products accumulate in the muscular system creating soreness, stiffness or even spasms, which in turn could lead to lameness or injury.
Did you know that canine massage therapy can be used to rehabilitate these muscular injuries, alleviating pain and discomfort by manipulating the soft tissue structures of the body. It is not simply a case of giving your dog a quick rub down and a few tickles.
If you think that your dog has started to show signs of discomfort or lameness then canine massage could definitely help them. If you wish to discuss how it could benefit your dog then please message me or give me a call on 07788 497988
