Healing Effects Animal Massage

The owner, Margaret Taormina, is a dual certified (therapeutic and rehabilitative massage) and insured small animal massage practitioner who is an advocate for therapeutic massage for both humans and our animal companions. Just like us, our pets can benefit from the restorative effects of massage. Although never a replacement for veterinary care, massage can relieve pain and stress and is a great way to maintain your 4-legged family member’s health and well-being. My in-home services allow your pet to remain in the environment they are comfortable, which puts less stress on them and you! Healing Effects of Animal Massage
Animal massage is now viewed as part of a multi-discipline wellness approach used among veterinarians, trainers and behaviorists for all animals including companion pets, service and therapy animals and agility and show animals. Massage helps fatigue and stiffness by increasing circulation and flushing waste products from the muscle tissues. For our older 4-legged family members, massage can alleviate painful joints and help boost their immune system. Massage techniques work with the body’s natural energy to keep everything operating at a high level of efficiency. But massage doesn’t stop there, the positive impact of healing touch helps return emotional stability stemming from anxiety, grief, abuse or abandonment.
