Lydia, your pets probably don’t need the massage, but they will surely enjoy it a lot. For me it is always fun to massage animals because they have this unrestricted ability to relax into it and just enjoy it. They don’t have any issues about being touched.

Hello Shama, I greatly enjoyed your story. I will try apply massage to my pets, although they actually don’t need it, for they are always relaxed, they can give us a lesson of relaxation.

Thanks for this interesting information Graham. Using therapeutic techniques on animals can work very well. I will check the ttouch site out some more.

Its interesting to look at the work of Linda Tellington-Jones. She originally started working with horses and moved on to dogs and other animals. Her work is like an offshoot of Feldenkrais. She now has qualified practitioners all over the world doing what she calls TTouch. http://www.ttouch.com. Its a system of circular touches.

I saw a practitioner do work on an injured horse and it was fascinating to feel the horse go into a deeper relaxation state. Here is the youtube video I made of the session. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPCVyiMH0t4.

It also works for humans. Maybe some connection to your style of Thai Massage. I hope its OK including links.

Hi Jason,
thanks for your comment. By the way, David and I go back a long time and have met and talked in Chiang Mai, Thailand, many times over the years.

Great post. I knew Thai was good because of being clothed and no oil, but I never thought beyond humans. Great story about getting a client through the dog.

Our school offers a couple levels of Thai, I’ll have to inquire with our instructor, David Weitzer, about applying to animals.

Thanks
