Myofunctional Therapy.
Myofunctional therapy is considered a ‘soft tissue specialty’... it enables diagnosis of soft tissue trauma and assessment of the overall function of the musculoskeletal system. Myofunctional therapy works in the form of remedial massage to improve the function and performance of soft tissue.
Myofunctional therapy is great for maintaining your animals pleasure activities or making sure they have optimum muscle health for those competition days.
I commonly use myofunctional therapy to assist with pain management caused by arthritis, especially in dogs, and to manage old muscle injuries or assist with the healing process for recent soft tissue problems.
Consider a proactive maintenance program for your animal so they can experience all the benefits that myofunctional therapy can offer.
Myofunctional therapy has many benefits including:
• Improves range of movement and body balance
• Strengthens muscles and tendons
• Increases flexibility
• Improves blood circulation
• Lengthens connective tissue
• Stimulates lymphatic drainage
• Improves nutrient supply
• Reduces muscle tension and fatigue
Your animal may experience both physical and emotional releases during a myofunctional therapy session and can sometimes be extra sleepy and may drink more water to aid removal of toxins from the body.
I recommend a few quiet days following a treatment to allow your animals systems to fully respond to the treatment.
