Canine Massage Schools - Boulder College of Massage Therapy

100-Hour Canine Massage Certificate Program
This continuing education program offers bodyworkers the opportunity to gain comprehensive knowledge and hands-on skills and techniques specifically for the canine population. Practitioners gain the credibility and confidence to work with veterinarians and animal hospitals and to incorporate canine massage into their private practices.

The Canine Massage Certification responds to the diverse medical needs of athletic, geriatric, injured, and rehabilitating dogs. In addition, massage therapy helps the dog stay structurally sound and fit for play, exercise, or work.

Benefits of massage therapy for canines can include:

• Maintaining muscle tone and joint flexibility
• Increased blood and lymph circulation
• Flushing toxins from muscles and joints
• Relieving discomfort from arthritis, lameness, and hip dysplasia
• Preventing injuries
• Recovery from skeletal and muscular surgery or injury
• Preventative overall health care
• Relieving muscle pain by releasing endorphins
