Certification Requirements

Massage is a therapeutic modality and, in its therapeutic capacity, should only be practiced by trained and certified practitioners.
The Colorado School of Animal Massage provides a Community Series for training pet parents in basic massage routines that can be practiced safely at home. However, the skills taught in our Community Series are intended for pet parents to provide massage to only their own animals at home.
