Massage has a fascinating history dating back 4000 years, and evidence of the beneficial effects of massage on animals is not difficult to find; we need only look at animals to understand the importance they place on the usage of massage through mutual (allogrooming), or self-grooming. Among dogs, an individual suffering from a sore, or some other form of injury, will regularly have the affected area roughly licked by another pack member. This action, which resembles rubbing, is, in effect, a form of muscle massage. The techniques explained and demonstrated in this valuable book which incorporate a trouble shooting guide for problems when working on your dog will have to assist you in improving your dog s health, and help you gain a greater awareness of his or her overall condition. Other techniques are also used by fully trained and qualified canine myotherapists or massage therapist practitioners, but the techniques included here are secure to use without such specialist knowledge. Also included is information about how the dog works in the case of what effects massage has; plus the clear, specially-comissioned photos and technique descriptions provide an explanation for how you’ll be able to be so much more in touch with the health of your canine companion, as well as establish a bond of consider and communication between you. * How the dog works * The use of your vet * How massage works * How to massage your dog * Massage techniques * Massage exercise and muscular health * Managing muscle repair, incorporating massage * Other techniques * Glossary
