Massage Therapy

Trends within modern medicine are ever-changing and most recently, people have started to understand that the combination of prescription drugs with holistic therapies, such as massage, can have profound results in the healing of people and animals.

Massage therapy is an important complement to many other therapy programs. The benefits of massage are many. Examples are as follows:

• Reduces inflammation and swelling in joints
• Improves circulation and increases blood flow to injured areas, promoting a faster healing process
• Improves range of motion and flexibility
• Increases flow of nutrients to muscles and aids in the removal of excessive fluids and toxins
• Relaxes tightened muscles and improves general well-being

There is true therapeutic value in this Eastern-Culture medicine. Our hospital now has a licensed massage therapist on staff to offer this beneficial holistic therapy to your pet. If you would like to schedule a consultation with the Veterinarian or the Massage Therapist regarding the potential benefits for your pet, please call our hospital at 817-236-2000.
