Who doesn’t love a good massage? Not only are they enjoyable but they help reduce stress, elevate pain and muscle soreness. Sports massage is a specialized kind of massage which is often overlooked. If a human athlete is going to compete, they warm up and stretch. Afterwards they go for a walk and stretch again. But often agility (or working) dogs are rushed in preparation and then put back into their kennel once they are done (and not with ill intent). That is just how it has been done. So how does massage help?
