Canine Massage
Not only do humans love, need, and benefit from massage, so do our four-legged friends. At Boulder College of Massage Therapy we have an excellent Canine Massage certification program. Canine massage helps dogs maintain muscle tone and joint flexibilty, increases blood and lymph circulation, flushes toxins from muscles and joints, relieves discomfort from arthritis, lameness, and hip dysplasia, helps to prevent injuries, helps in the recovery of injury or surgery, and most of all, it feels great!
My Dachsund friend in the photo, Quita, comes to my office regularly for short massage sessions and look at the thanks I get! Quita’s owner got her from a Dachsund Rescue program. Abused to some extent, massage and touch has definitely relieved some of the anxiety in this cute little pooche’s life.
The Canine massage certification program is offered through our continuing education department to massage therapists as well as veterinarians, vet techs, and others who have work experience in the animal world. If full certification isn’t what you are looking for, you can take an intensive 32 hr Canine Massage Preparatory Course for the Non-Professional. This course is available at the end of March, so start planning now! The full certification courses take place in June. If you want to feel some love and appreciation from man’s best friend….this just might be for you!
