Listen Later

Want to learn how to reduce your dog’s low back pain with massage?  This is lesson 2 of a special 3 part learning experience for pet parents that want to improve their dog's  comfort and mobility but aren't sure where to start.  

In this episode, you will learn how to prepare your space, yourself, and your dog for massage.  I, Sarah am a licensed physiotherapist and canine rehab therapist with a passion for empowering the pet parent.  I teach you how to gauge and adjust your pressure during the massage for the best experience and you expands your knowledge, identifying key anatomical landmarks on your dog that help ensure your massaging the right muscle groups. 

This 3 part series is designed to be a complement to professional veterinary care and includes actionable steps. If your dog does experience back pain, seek out veterinary care immediately.

In the last episode we learned about the indicators of pain and contraindications to massage for dogs with back pain.
