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 use of massage through mutual
(allogrooming), or self-grooming. Among dogs, an individual
suffering from a sore, or some other form of injury, will often
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 - should 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 safe to use
without such specialist knowledge. How the dog works * Using 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
