Animal Massage Practitioners
NBCAAM-Certified Animal Massage Practitioners provide deliberate, skilled touch to the soft tissues of the body, often incorporating passive range of motion and stretching techniques. Massage supports healthy movement, comfort, and recovery from exertion or injury.
Animal Acupressure Practitioners
NBCAAM-Certified Animal Acupressure Practitioners use the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, applying gentle finger pressure to specific points that influence the body’s balance and energy flow. Acupressure can help promote relaxation and overall wellness.
