I just this past weekend realized that today marks the fourth anniversary of Animal Massage Guide! I can’t believe it’s been that long since I started this blog, which I did on a whim, really. I had no idea how to set up a blog, install plugins, add photos and links, or even how to [...]

Today’s post is a guest post from Julie Lines, founder and owner of Voice of the Animals in Newton Solney, Staffordshire, England. Julie is an animal communicator and she started Voice of the Animals to raise awareness about the importance of animals and to show how we can create better relationships with them and re-establishing [...] I was recently contacted by Brooke Marsh, who is an Animal Physiotherapist based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. The term Animal Physiotherapy was new to me (a bit of research revealed that it’s called Veterinary Rehabilitation, Animal Rehabilitation, or Animal Physical Therapy here in the US) and I asked Brooke if she would be [...] I think many people don’t realize quite how powerful alternative therapies can be. “Everybody” knows that massage helps relieve stiff and sore muscles and loosen up scar tissue, but it can also be a tremendous help with a slew of other conditions, both physical and psychological. We have talked about what massage is exactly earlier [...] Today’s guest post comes from Luis and Mary Carillo, owners of Good Dog Aquatic Fitness in North Andover, Massachusetts. Good Dog is a referral facility that specializes in canine hydrotherapy, rehabilitation, and massage therapy to help dogs recover from injury and illness as well as maintain their overall health and quality of life. Luis, a licensed [...] This guest post comes from Jodi McLaughlin, who was the featured practitioner in the first acupressure post. Jodi, a long-time holistic animal health provider and owner and founder of The Blissful Bunny Massage Workshops, obviously has a soft spot for rabbits. I wrote about both acupressure and Jodi in more depth in my previous post, [...] Today we have a guest post that talks about an ailment I think many animal owners can relate to – allergies. In this case study, the practitioner uses acupressure (which I have described in more depth in my earlier “Alternative Healing Modality: Acupressure” post) to alleviate the allergies of a horse. Yes, horses have allergies too. [...] This case study comes from Aileen D’Angelo, founder and owner of Hoof, Paw & Claw in Northborough, Massachusetts. Aileen is a Reiki Master and teacher and has been practicing Reiki since 1996. She is also an animal communicator and a certified Canine Trigger Point Myotherapist. A member of the Animal Wellness Association, a a Registered Reiki [...] Many people would be surprised to learn that practitioners of alternative and complementary medicine not only focus on people’s pets, but also wildlife, zoo, and farm animals. It’s important to not forget about them, or take them for granted. They are living beings with feelings and emotions just like us, and deserve to be treated [...] Today’s guest post comes to us from Amy Snow, founder (along with Nancy Zidonis) of Tallgrass Animal Acupressure Institute and co-author of Equine Acupressure: A Working Manual, The Well-Connected Dog: A Guide to Canine Acupressure, Acu-Dog – A Guide To Canine Acupressure and, Acu-Cat: A Guide to Feline Acupressure. They have also written several manuals [...] Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you all survived the holidays unscathed and had some time to relax and enjoy the season. With all that behind us, it’s time to get back to work! In today’s guest post, we will hear how Yvette Eastman used various alternative and complementary methods to help her friend’s [...] Today’s guest post comes from Jody Chiquoine, the founder and director of Fitter Critters, a canine rehabilitation and hydrotherapy facility in Lee, Massachusetts. When her Newfoundland Zowie was traumatically injured, Jody, a registered nurse for 34 years, used her expertise in rehabilitating people to help Zowie back to health. Inspired by this experience, Fitter Critters was [...] Update: I was told that Cathy Pendleton did pass away, but all these dogs have found homes, so that’s a spot of good news at least. This is most certainly not related to animal massage, but the message was sent to me by one of my friends, and I just had to post this heartbreaking story. [...]  |
