Introduction

This course is targeted to specifically share some Massage and Acupressure techniques that can be used to calm, relax and heighten the well-being of your pet.

Massage can have many other holistic effects on the body and also deliver physical rehabilitative benefits, however, this course is focused on the techniques that can be employed to calm and rejuvenate the nervous system.

What this e-course will help you to achieve:

This e-course is designed to give you a selection of calming and therapeutic bodywork and acupressure techniques that I use daily in professional practice.

As a professional myotherapist since 2014, these are some of the tools that I use to encourage dogs to relax and reassure dogs by engaging their “rest and digest” mode (their parasympathetic nervous system) which is critical if you want to facilitate healing and promote physical and emotional wellbeing. If a dog is feeling physically or emotionally vulnerable
