What to Expect from a Medical Massage Session
At East & West Animal Hospital, we will work with you and your pet to develop an individualized treatment plan. The initial consultation will include a thorough assessment of your pet's condition, including a physical examination and discussion of your pet's history and symptoms.
During the massage session, your pet will be positioned comfortably on a table or mat. We will use a variety of techniques, including petrissage, effleurage, and friction, to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. The massage therapist will also use gentle stretching and range-of-motion exercises to help improve flexibility and mobility.
After the massage session, your pet may be a little sore or tired, but this is normal and should resolve quickly. You will also be given recommendations for at-home care, such as exercises or stretches that you can do with your pet to help maintain the benefits of massage therapy.
