Practitioner Series

The practice of massage can be integrated into any and every life-stage and lifestyle.  However, working with animal massage as a therapeutic modality and intentionally integrating the practice of massage into an animal's healthcare requires a special degree of training and proficiency.
Our practitioner series is designed for individuals not only interested in earning their certification in animal massage, but also focusing on the therapeutic benefits, medical applications, and becoming part of the veterinary health care team. 
​
Here are a few medical applications of therapeutic massage:
  • Pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation
  • Faster recovery times after surgery or injury
  • Non-pharmaceutical pain control
  • Palliative & hospice comfort care​
  • Improved human-animal bonding
  • Pre- and post-workout for athletic animals
  • Relief for anxiety, stress, or grief
  • Injury prevention and conditioning
