Now offering massage therapy with Alison Brudney at our newest Hanover Park location!
What happens during a massage session?
A massage can last anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour depending on condition,
age, and size of dog. During the massage, a variety of techniques are used to
loosen up any tight muscles and treat any trigger points that are found. Trigger
points are tight, tender knots in the muscle that can spasm and limit movement
by causing sharp pain or a dull ache. Stretching is also an important part of
the massage to keep muscles loose and limber and prevent injury. The owners are
also shown some activities they can do at home.
