Therapeutic Massage with Samantha Hankey, CVT

Do you think that your pet may have issues in their tissues? Listen as Samantha Hankey, CVT, describes the therapeutic value of massage for our pets for a variety of conditions, including anxiety. Although small animal massage is gaining much popularity, Sam shares the importance of credentialing and what to look for if you feel that massage may help your dog, cat, or even rabbit! She has gleaned many insights during her years of practice and reveals some of the unique and unexpected benefits of soft tissue manipulation. Sam discusses special techniques she uses including tui na, acupressure, and cranial sacral, while always aiming to create a fear free environment. A skilled massage therapist may just be that missing link your pet needs to maximize their health and healing, both physically and emotionally.
