As a professional massage therapist, Kat ensures that the animal is under the care of a veterinarian and may ask for a referral. Each session starts by taking a brief history and evaluating the animal’s overall soft tissue and postural condition, before beginning application of the appropriate massage technique. Throughout the massage, specific passive stretches and range of motion analysis are applied after each muscle group is treated and warmed up. Swedish Massage techniques are employed as well as Myofascial Release, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Acupressure and Sports massage depending on the need.
