Canine Massage

TopFlight will tailor a massage program for your canine or equine athlete to help you achieve optimum peak performance.

Canine sport massage therapy is the therapeutic application of hands-on deep tissue techniques to optimize our competitive dog’s performance and improving their muscular structure.  Our goals for providing sports massages are to increase movement acuity, improve active range of motion and gait, and mobilize soft tissue.

The benefits of massage:

  • Improves athletic performance

  • Increase circulation

  • Enhances muscle tone

  • Increases range of motion

  • Restores movement

  • Reduce inflammation

  • Increase flexibility

  • Relieves tension

  • Promotes healing

We also provide:

  • Rehabilitation massage in collaboration with your veterinarian

Important Note: Canine massage is NOT a replacement for proper veterinary assessment, care or treatment. Dogs that fall within this area of concern will not be treated without veterinarian consent.

“I found Angela when competing at the US Open. My border collie Lolo was 8.5 years old at the time. We had travelled for 3 days to get there and had 5 days of competition ahead of us. I had to find someone who knew what they were doing to keep her feeling her best for this event. Lolo immediately settled in and melted in Angela’s hands. We visited her every day that week! Lolo ended up in the top 5 or 10 in almost every class we ran. She was fast, sound, and happy and I definitely owe part of her success to Angela’s massage technique and thoroughness in her work. I will be seeking her out when we are on that side of the country again!”
