VTHT 8001 Canine Massage for Health and Healing
(3.0 hours/$50.00/$3.00 Lab/$3.50 Insurance)
The most powerful tool we possess is touch. Massage is one of the oldest forms of healing and can impact on emotional and physical levels for both humans and animals. This easy-to-use technique will help you detect early warning signs of illness, injury, and emotional trauma for your furry friend. Massage relieves pain and discomfort naturally without drugs. It helps the owner maintain close assessment of their pet's physical condition. Massage brings fresh, oxygenated blood to the skin and hair. It speeds the healing process and complements standard veterinary treatments. Students are encouraged to bring their own dog for hands-on practice. Techniques are for recreational purposes only and not for professional use.
