About the business
Good In - Tensions, LLC provides Canine and Equine Massage Therapy which can be used for all animals, from the beloved companion to the highly athletic competitor. Sports massage is most closely related to Swedish Massage which concentrates on deep tissue. Massage is often thought of as a "luxury" but in fact it has numerous health benefits that can improve the physical and emotional well-being of animals.
Equine and canine massage therapy is non-invasive and its' methods are used for a variety of reasons, all resulting in improved quality of life and increased longevity.
This type of therapy involves locating and treating muscle spasms and trigger points (build up of lactic acid with nerve ending irritation) often caused by tension. Body movement relies greatly on the contraction of muscles and the movement of joints. When muscles are not functioning properly, this causes pain and affects the body's movement. Repeated strains and exertions cause residual muscle tightening which causes the loss of or a decrease in range of motion.
Muscle spasms are often overlooked. They do not show up on x-rays and are cumulative in nature. Unless properly treated, the problem will not resolve on its own. Massage breaks apart these adhesions and restores proper function and circulation to the muscles.
Animals that suffer from dysplasia, arthritis or other debilitating diseases can benefit from massage as it decrease inflammation and swelling in joints and increases circulation, range of motion and muscle tone. Massage can be used for other reasons such as colic, behavior tribulations, injuries, resisting or an unwillingness to perform or move a certain way. In addition, massage promotes more rapid healing of injuries by restoring mobility to injured muscle tissue.
For performance animals, massage is capable of preventing injuries (such as pulls and tears) and eliminates any muscle adhesions or tension that could potentially be problematic.
Massage therapy for equines and canines is on the rise as people are taking on more responsibility when it comes to their pets' health and investing more to ensure their well-being. Animals are living longer and in turn, require more specialized care. In addition, the use of equines and canines for show and competition is growing.
A massage lasts from 1 to 1.5 hours and includes obtaining a history, a physical evaluation, a full body sports (deep tissue) massage and then discussion of a maintenance plan.
