What’s a canine massage neuromuscular release?

When dogs are stimulated during a PetMassageTM their bodies shift – making tiny edits to their internal dialogue. What is the internal dialogue? The internal dialogue is the way the body communicates with itself to coordinate its internal and gross movements. Good communication supports its internal systems. These movements are the movement toward balance and perfect health. The ultimate goal is homeostasis. Observing these movements is the way we know the PetMassageTM canine massage is having an impact on their bodies and lives. The movements are all reactions and responses to the PetMassageTM canine massage. They would not occur if the PetMassageTM were not being administered and received.   

Each of the movements is a result of the dog releasing some form of tightness or restriction. The restriction could be deep in their bodies, superficially in their bodies or in their minds. Deep refers to the movement of fluids in their cardiovascular system, lymphatics and digestion. Superficial refers to coat, skin and the tissues closest to the surface, such as bruises, capillary refill, skin tags, hot spots, etc. Digestion refers to the processing and absorption of fluids and nutrients as they move through the digestive tract. The dogs, in a PetMassageTM are tucking in their proverbial shirts, straightening out their twisted t-shirts or curling into their protective nests of etheric comfort. 

This is what a canine massage neuromuscular release looks like 

What do these movements look like? The dogs may move toward you, away from you. They may sit or lay. They may stand up. They may list to one side. They may fall over. They may turn in circles on the table. They may shift their weight from one side to the other. They may shake parts or all of their bodies. They may yawn. They may scratch. They may blink. They may drool. They may lick the area you are touching or your hand. They may scratch somewhere else. They may stretch, change positions, fart, burp, nap, or attempt to jump off the table.

 What do canine massage neuromuscular releases mean? 

When we see any of these behaviors, we know that something is happening. Some internal dialogue in the dog’s body and mind, is directing him toward a massage neuromuscular release. The release of restraints is the permission he needs to initiate his inertia to shift. The release toward the ability to move and the movements that result, create the adjustments he needs in this moment in your hands that will make his life now, and forever more, and more comfortable.
