     All dogs can benefit from gentle massage once areas of discomfort are 

located. Therapeutic massage can relieve the discomfort from soreness and 

stiffness due to muscle strain and reduce inflammation. Senior pets 

especially can benefit from another technique known as passive range of 

motion exercise.  This exercises the joints through flexion and extension 

which involves the manipulation of the body. Moving the joints helps to 

nourish the cartilage. This produces optimum healing of an injury, old or 

new.  Dogs love massage!

     Simple massage can be taught to owners..
