Regular sports massage is a must for any athlete, just ask David Beckham, Jessica Ennis or Usain Bolt.  Agility dogs are no different, they are athletes and massage should form a regular part of their fitness maintenance program.

Massage therapists are able to  identify problem areas that could injure if not addressed and will help your dog recover should they sustain an injury.

Keeping those muscles supply means they are less likely to injure!
