Animal Massage Therapy

You may be thinking "Is this a joke?" Massage in humans is quite commonplace and has proven to improve healing and overall health.  Why not in animals?  Our pets suffer many of the same health conditions that humans do and research has shown that massage and bodywork is an effective complement to traditional veterinary medicine.

Massaging animals is useful for many physical ailments such as arthritis, neurological abnormalities, digestive troubles, and emotional or behavioral problems.

Rehabilitative Massage can effect every system of the body from the circulatory system to the immune system.  Massage is often used as an effective pain reliever for orthopedic conditions, pre- and post-surgery to enhance healing, to improve blood flow and lymph drainage, and relieve the boredom associated with reduced activity from illness or surgery.

Blue Ridge Animal Massage offers Rehabilitative and Maintenance Massage and Aromatherapy for animals.

**UPDATE:  Having completed all three small animal massage therapy classes - a total of 450 hours of training - at the Northwest School of Animal Massage, I am starting my first equine massage class!!

Blue Ridge Animal Massage serves the Charlottesville / Albemarle

area in Central Virginia.
