Canine Massage Therapy & Integrative Care with Lindsey Gavel
I am a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Assistant (CCRA) through the Canine Rehabilitation Institute, a Certified Canine Massage Therapist (CCMT) through the Chicago School of Canine Massage (now Canis Bodyworks), and am currently pursuing my Veterinary Technician certification through Penn Foster. My long term goal is to sit for my national massage certification through NBCAAM (National Board of Canine Acupressure and Massage) and to pursue a Veterinary Technician Specialty certification in Rehabilitation once I complete my CVT and subsequent casework.
Dog Hydrotherapy Can Heal and Prolong Your Dog’s Life
Dog Hydrotherapy is not just for overweight pets or stiff joints and arthritis.
Water therapy is used in treating illness and injuries but also provides a great way to help even healthy dogs stay in optimal shape. Moreover, it helps to prolong a pet’s quality of life as they get older. Hydrotherapy hastens healing, loosens tight muscles, increases coordination, and improves balance as well as increases stamina and flexibility. It also provides a good overall cardiovascular workout.
