An Open Letter To Pet Owners

The healing effects of massage are well documented. For centuries we humans have used massage techniques to relieve pain, release tensions and speed up recovery from injury. The calmness that comes over someone when warm hands gently knead tired muscles is like no other sensation we can experience. A slow, steady massage relaxes the mind and energizes the body from head to toe.

Our pets give us so much. If you were attempting to illustrate unconditional love, you could easily point to just about any family pet as an example. In many ways, they play a role similar to massage in calming our nerves and re-energizing our psyches. And they ask so little of us in return. Since they live their lives in our environment, pet behavior reflects human behavior. Dogs, cats, horses and other animals we welcome into our family structure can suffer from high levels of stress. Moreover, injuries are all too common among our domesticated friends.

PetMassage_™ is the extension of the healing power of massage to these animals, which play such an important role in our lives. It does not take the place of proper veterinary care. It complements it. When our pets are in pain or agitated, they need extra attention that a vet may not have the expertise to give.

That's where we come in. As experienced massage therapists, we have been leading the field in developing the best applications and techniques for using massage to help our pets and with individual pet owners teaching them the proper way to massage their animals. We are now offering to share that experience with pet lovers everywhere.

I invite you to explore our site and open your mind to this important new therapy.

Sincerely,
