Animal Massage Therapy pt. 2

Animal Massage Therapy can be traced back to the earliest Egyptian empires. Hieroglyphics give convincing evidence that the royal canines received regular rubdowns.

The royal horses throughout history have received regular massage treatments, especially after long journeys or strenuous work.

Modern-day horse jockeys use massage therapy to keep their horses in tip-top shape.

AMT did not begin to have a backing in the United States until the last 20 years.

There are now approximately 50 certified trade schools in the United States to train hopefuls in the art of massage therapy.

Hopefully in the next 20 years massage therapy will have a full backing in the veterinary community.
