But why should use a pre event massage for our dogs?
A Pre Event massage does not replace a warm up for your dog but compliments it. It prepares the body for high intensity action or sustained long events. It is the skilled application of massage techniques to address the specific areas which accrue stress and fatigue and to prepare the muscles by loosening them to promote better Range of Motion. Importantly it helps to significantly decrease the chances of Muscular Injury, mainly the Strain which can cause lameness and in some cases is the reason for a dog having to retire from their sport. The massage does this by bringing flexibility, warmth and length to the tissue to enable its efficient lengthening and contractive states.
SO the question is why would you not want to learn how to look after your dog’s muscular system?
