PRE EVENT WARM UP, AND POST EVENT COOL DOWN, MASSAGE ROUTINES
Looking after your four-legged athlete
We all like to keep our dogs in top physical condition. Many of us lead very active lives with our dogs, either competing in dog-related sports, for example, Agility, Flyball, Hoopers, or Canicross events, or regularly heading out for long, sometimes strenuous walks. Learning the benefits of, and techniques for giving your dogs both a Pre Event Warm Up and Post Event Cool Down massage can help to improve their performance and wellbeing. Just as with athletes, warming up muscles before activity helps minimise the chances of strains and other injuries. A post-event cool-down helps reduce stiffness and fatigue.
In this workshop, you will learn about your dog’s anatomy, and I will introduce you to massage techniques to keep your dog in peak physical condition and help it perform at its best.
By the end of the workshop, you will have learned how to apply a 10-minute Pre Event Warm Up massage to improve performance and reduce the risk of injury, and a 10-minute Post Event Cool Down massage to help move the metabolic by-products of exercise through the system and reduce stiffness and/or Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.
I offer the Warm Up and Cool Down Massage Workshop as an Interactive Online Workshop, allowing you to participate remotely.
