The origins of “animal massage”
This practice dates back to Antiquity. Ancient records from animal caretakers indicate its use in India, Egypt, and China.
For dogs, it first emerged in the United States in the 1990s, driven by Jonathan Rudinger, a nurse and massage therapist. He adapted various massage techniques specifically for them, such as stroking, kneading, and skin rolling.
This canine discipline, widely recognized and popular in English speaking countries, was later introduced in France and Europe in the 2000s. Since then, it has continued to grow, bringing comfort and joy to our four legged companions.
