I would like to draw your readers attention to the dangers of practising these techniques without proper tuition and qualifications. Many of the stretches can illicit pain and discomfort, especially if carried out without expert guidance. In particular, the foreleg extensor stretch on page 75 could be extremely harmful.
NOTE: No massage should be undertaken upon any animal without prior veterinary consent.
The Institute of Complementary Animal Therapies offers expert training in both the theory and most importantly, the practical application of massage techniques leading to the ICAT Diploma in Canine Massage. Please visit http://www.theicat.co.uk or contact the animalmassageassociation.com to locate a qualified canine massage therapist in your area.
Strangly, the principal trainer and chief assessor of ICAT appears to be ….. Julie Boxall !!
There are a number of courses for canine massage, and it’s perfectly OK in the UK to do massage on your OWN animal without vetinary consent.
