Canine athletes competing in sports activities need to be kept in peak condition. These dogs regularly and eagerly jump, twist, dive, fetch, search and exert themselves to the limits of their physical abilities.

Professional, novice & amateur athletes can benefit from Performance Massage to:

The Canine athlete is a prime candidate for massage both before and after events. If you have an athlete in your life, consider the amount of use the joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments are subjected to when running an agility course, flyball competion or tracking. These highly trained dogs, with amazing abilities and devoted relationships with their trainers, can greatly benefit from massage.

Regular massage and stretching can increase a dog's range of motion, lengthen its stride and improve overall muscle tone, contributing to quicker and tighter turns, cleaner jumping, and better performance times. Massage incorporated as part of the dog's training regime typically increases performance and also reduces the risk of sports-related injuries.
