Students Learn PetMassage to Change Careers
(part 1)
The most exciting people in the world are drawn to our courses. We attract only those who are inclined to share our philosophies of touch, connection, service, and commitment. Our approach is holistic and spiritual. We are not entrenched in the physical therapy – medical massage mind-set. We see our practice as supporting the work of veterinarians and other animal health and wellness colleagues. Our training is for people who would like to work either in veterinary offices as therapists and/or create productive, loving and prosperous businesses helping animals and their guardians. We do not attract everyone. Those who would not feel comfortable with our course content find their ways to other schools.
PetMassage™ teaches students to support the self-revelatory, self healing, intuitive abilities of animals through the use of knowledgeable, compassionate touch, fascia releases, understanding and the use of open body-language communication. Our courses begin with anatomy and physiology to get a basic understanding of body systems from a Western medical model. We include concepts and practices of TCM in our foundation massage theory and practice. Students then learn specific PetMassage™ theory and techniques hands-on with several sessions with live dogs in the classroom and at a local humane society. We conclude with lively discussions about ethics, marketing, legal issues and scopes of practice.
We have been privileged to give over one hundred week-long workshops at the PetMassage, Ltd., in Toledo, Ohio while our home-study courses have attracted more than a thousand students. We are proud of the quality of educational experience that we offer. We are also pleased that the course content that we offer is unique among schools teaching animal massage.
