Muscle tissue in horses, dogs and humans can be overused, overstretched and simply just overworked.  People were beginning to understand that if these alternative therapies could help them, they would probably work as well on their pets and the other animals in their care.

Among the many documented benefits of massage are:
• Enhances muscle tone and range of motion.
• Reduces inflammation and swelling in the joints, thereby alleviating pain.
• Promotes the healing process by increasing the flow of nutrients to the muscles, and aiding in carrying away excessive fluids and toxins.
• Creates a positive effect on the contractual and release process of the muscles...releasing tension...relaxing muscles.
• Stimulates circulation by: defrosting frozen muscles, thereby releasing endorphins - the body's natural pain killers.
• Helps to maintain the whole body in better physical condition.

Muscle integration therapy is gaining acceptance not only because of its results but also because of the increasing belief in the benefits of holistic treatment of medical problems.
