Why Masage?
Our four legged friends enjoy and often need massage just as humans do. We often forget about the muscles that play a key role in movement. Muscles are often overused which can result in pain. A muscle is a muscle whether in a human or in an animal. So why not massage your pets just as you would yourself. Afterall how do you feel after a massage?

April Capen, CMT, ESMT earned her Canine and Equine certifications through Equissage in Round Hill, VA. She also has her degree as a physical therapist assistant.

She became interested in massage on animals after seeing the positive effects it had on human athletes. Seeing those effects easily lead her to a career in animal massage. She has been massaging at agility trials, flyball tournaments and private barns and homes in the area.
