Wonderful classmates, life affirming lesions, great experience! A big Thank You to everyone who made the WaterWorks class such a wonderful experience! It is amazing to me how the Universe can take a diverse group of people from all over the planet and bring them together to participate in such profound events as we did this past week. It was a blessing to meet each and every one of you (2 and 4-legged!). What we experienced together this week was, to me, so sacred and life affirming. It was an amazing week filled with wonderful new friends and I so appreciate the opportunity of meeting you!

I enjoyed everything. Swimming with the dogs, learning how to help the dogs through water and to learn to go with the flow. Thank you for following your hearts and dreams so that others can also follow their hearts and dreams! Chewy is so much more relaxed and secure, he is getting grounded. Thank you, and I will pass this on to someone else. What a blessing!
Karen M. – Beech Bluff, TN

The PetMassage WaterWork

This is a very specialized class that helps students develop PetMassage skills working in water with dogs.

PetMassage™ WaterWork is growing in popularity. If you have access to a swimming pool, you can practice PetMassage™ WaterWork.

In the new field of canine rehabilitation (University of Tennessee, Canine Rehabilitation & Physical Therapy, Millis, Levine, and Taylor), two procedures are prominent in practically every program: massage and swimming. PetMassage WaterWorkTM can be included with, and can enhance, many veterinary post-surgical and non-surgical rehabilitation regimens.

Imagine the dynamics, flexibility, and therapeutic value that dogs can get moving in a warm water, non-weight bearing, environment. Imagine holding and supporting a dog, suspended in water; guiding the body in your arms in large, sweeping movements across the surface of the water. Feel how the water drags and drifts the myofascial tissue and articular connections. Your secure presence, based on the training and skills you've learned, resolves fears and apprehensions the dog exhibited when first entering the water. In your hands, the dog relaxes, allowing integumentary and musculoskeletal structures to float into and away from each other. Restrictions from holding patterns release. Alternative neuromuscular systems engage. Your dog experiences his body WaterWorking: joyful, relaxing, rejuvenating, rebalancing, reconditioning, resoundingly and amazingly therapeutic and beneficial.

PetMassage™ WaterWork

PetMassage™ WaterWork is a complete course in itself. Part of the class is in the classroom, learning specific PetMassage™ body mechanics and movement as applied in a water environment, basic anatomy and the interactive dynamics of bodies in water. The rest of the class is in the indoor heated pool, where PetMassage™ WaterWork techniques are learned and practiced.

PetMassage WaterWork uses a unique set of techniques and body mechanics that are just one small part of the "dry" PetMassage skill set. For this reason, we have dropped the prerequisite requirements for completing previous PetMassage workshops. This workshop is now open to people who have had considerable, minimal, or no experience in canine massage.

The course fee for this 5-day course is $1500.00 and the NCBTMB CE value is 100 and 100 contact hours through the IAAMB/ACWT.

Register by purchasing this workshop online or printing our workshop registration form to send by fax or mail.

  Prerequisite Info

NOTE: Prerequisites for the WaterWork Class have been dropped. We no longer require completions of the PetMassage Foundation and Advanced PetMassage for Dogs workshops.
