Did you think massage therapy was just for humans? At The Rejuvenated Dog, massage therapist Frederica Vecchi has seen first hand how massage therapy can benefit canines. The practice of massage dates back to 17,000 B.C., and was regarded as a means of staying healthy and facilitated recovery from illnesses. It has only been recently that massage has been recognized for its healing power in canines.

As demonstrated by Frederica, massage is a touch therapy that increases circulation to the skin and underlying muscles. The benefits to your dog are numerous, including stress reduction, relief of muscle spasms, enhanced range of motion, the releasing of toxins in the body, improved circulation, and more. Massage Therapy is also excellent for athletic dogs by reducing muscle tension and increasing muscle flexibility.

Massage therapy, even for a healthy dog, is an amazing alternative technique for relaxation, and has proven to be a wonderful way to bond with your pet. For more information about massage therapy for your dog, and to make an appointment please contact Frederica, at (617) 584-0477.
