I am a big dog lover and have had dogs all my life. My 6 year-old Husky Shepard mix Nami is the love of my life ! If you are like me, your dog's well-being is super important for you. Massage therapy can be a highly effective way to help dogs with any kind of pain but especially with back pain. Research has shown that it can help to increase circulation, relieve muscle tension, and reduce inflammation, all of which can contribute to reducing paid and promoting healing in dogs with back pain. One study published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association found that dogs who received massage therapy as part of their rehabilitation program showed significant improvement in both their range of motion and their pain levels compared to dogs who did not receive massage therapy. The study also found that massage therapy was well-tolerated by the dogs, with no adverse side effects reported. Another study published in the Journal of Physical Therapy Science found that massage therapy improved circulation and reduced muscle spasms in dogs with back pain. The study also noted that it can help to promote relaxation, which can reduce stress and anxiety in dogs, leading to further pain relief. It is important to work with a trained and experienced therapist who understands the unique needs of dogs and can tailor the therapy to meet your dog's specific needs. You can also learn how to massage your dogs. I am planning to make some how to video in the future. Stay tuned !
