Introduction to Animal Massage


Course introduction:
We've designed this course specifically for animal caregivers interested in bringing the healing modality of massage home to their dogs (or cats!).  
​
​
At-home massage can be used for numerous situations and animal lifestyles such as: 
  • Pain control for arthritis
  • Faster recovery times after surgery or injury
  • Relief for anxiety, stress, or grief
  • Improved human-animal bonding
  • Pre- and post-workout for athletic animals
  • Palliative & hospice comfort care
