Frequently Asked Questions

How do therapeutic animal massage and energy therapy help an animal?

    Therapeutic animal massage and energy therapy:

  • offer long-term benefits, but require several sessions,
  • affect all systems of the body -- the muscular, circulatory, immune, and nervous systems,
  • are beneficial to many chronic conditions, such as lower back pain, arthritis, and hip dysplasia,
  • help emotional bonding,
  • help relieve stress caused by anxiety and depression,
  • help ease the time of boarding for an animal,
  • reduce inappropriate behaviors,

Does the animal have to come to your office?

Therapy sessions take place at the Easing Paw suite in Monrovia, or Annette will come to your place for therapy.

What happens in a massage session?

The massage session includes acupressure and specific, customized strokes for all animals of any ages, sizes and breeds. Most pets cooperate quite well with the massage process. Occasionally an animal will balk. Patience generally resolves this issue.

How many massage sessions will my pet need?

The number of sessions will vary greatly depending on your reasons for beginning massage therapy. During the initial consultation, Annette will discuss the best likely course of treatment.

Generally:

  • For General Health
    If you are looking for general health benefits, it is recommended that sessions are scheduled on a regular basis such as weekly.
     
  • For joint pain or stiffness
    If you are looking to treat joint pain and stiffness, it is recommended that sessions be scheduled on a regular basis at least once a week. For more severe pain, we may recommend more than one session a week. It is normal for your pet to experience slight stiffness immediately after a massage session, so we need to continually monitor your pet’s reaction to massage therapy and evaluate the number appointments as treatment progresses.
     
  • For anxiety or depression
    It is recommended that we begin with more sessions when we initially begin treatment such as two appointments a week. As your pet begins to response to the therapy, the number of sessions may be reduced. We generally recommend you continue massage for your pet for general health benefits but to also maintain treatment for anxiety and depression symptoms.
     
  • For injury or surgical recover
    We must meet your pet to evaluate the recovery needs, but we generally recommend at least two appointments a week for a period of four weeks. We need to continually monitor your pet’s reaction to massage therapy and evaluate the number appointments as treatment progresses.
