Pet Massage and physical therapy

The show on the 15th features another special guest, Diana Rodwell-Allen. She is a Pet massage therapist.

We will discuss many different issues, focusing on the treatments that she offers, what they can do for your companion, and why her services are so useful and important.

I have taken the following from her brochure;

"Pet massage is the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body to achieve specific goals, such as drainage, relaxation or stimulation. In addition it can promote good circulation to all the organs and tissues in your pets body.

Pet massage is also a wonderful and effective form of preventative care. The massage practitioner is often able to feel and detect any abnormalities ie; muscle tension, swollen areas, inflammation or hot spots and lumps, much quicker than by sight or grooming. If any areas of concern are identified you will have the opportunity of taking your pet to your veterinarian immediately - possibly reducing complications. The animal will suffer less trauma and early detection can often assist your vet, possibly helping you avoid costly procedures.

Massage will relax a younger pet, reducing excitement, while increasing strength and flexibility. It will greatly benefit the older, lazy or tired animal giving it a good workout, while increasing circulation and flexibility of joints, also relaxing stiff shoulders, neck, lower back and tail.

Pet massage can be used very successfully in the calming of aggressive animals, as well as, over time, assisting nervous and timid pets to become more outgoing. It also facilitates greater acceptance to dental care, grooming procedures, and nail trimming.

Pets are often more than just our best friends, they are our loving companions, loyal protectors, and often comfort us through many challenging stages in our lives.

Diana's clients believe that anything we can do to increase the life expectancy, improve the quality of life and generally enhance the lives of our pets, is a small way of saying to our pets. "Thank you, we truly appreciate your unconditional love and affection.

Other services that Diana offers are
  • Therapeutic Touch Therapy (cancer, surgery, and major trauma)
  • Physical Therapy
  • Soft Tissue Massage (torn ligaments, muscle damage)
  • Acupressure
  • Deep Tissue Massage (Agility, sports and working dogs)
  • Lymph drainage Therapy
  • Medical Massage
  • Orthopaedic massage
  • Trigger Point Massage
  • Behavioural Issues
To keep our best friends in optimum health, she advises with nutrition and weight management issues.

The major health issues for our pets today are being overweight and poor nutrition. We can increase the life span of our animals by loving them the right way....good food (the right portions), healthy treats, and a little exercise."

We don't always get a chance on the show to talk about everything that we'd like to, and we get to cover some things we hadn't planned on!

I'll be talking with Diana about what motivated her to enter this field, her training, and courses she has taken, the importance of having a good relationship with your veterinarian, success stories that she's had, and just how she does what she does.

Diana is very focused on nutrition as a primary factor in your companions life, and will help us understand what to look for in a good food for our pet. Should we really be feeding them the same thing day after day?

So make sure you join us for "The Everything Pet Show", Sunday night from 5-6pm
