What does CTPT mean in THERAPY

Canine Trigger Point Therapy (CTPT) is a form of massage therapy designed specifically to target trigger points in the muscle tissue of dogs, which can cause pain or stiffness. The aim of CTPT is to reduce pain and tension using a combination of techniques such as pressure release, stretching, and range-of-motion exercises.

Trigger points are areas in the muscle fibers that become tight due to physical stress or injury, leading to pain and discomfort if left untreated. These tender spots may also cause decreased range of motion and other movement issues.

Dogs recovering from illness or injury, senior pets with age-related stiffness or soreness, sporting dogs who experience fatigue or post-performance soreness, and cats may all benefit from CTPT due to its ability to reduce tension in muscles as well as improve mobility and flexibility.

This depends on your pet's individual needs; however it is generally recommended that the frequency be determined by their response during treatment sessions. In general, visits should be spaced at least 3 weeks apart initially while evaluating their progress throughout treatment before increasing frequency if needed.

Yes! All techniques used in CTPT are gentle enough not to cause any further harm and designed with safety in mind for both you and your pet. Taking into consideration your pet's medical history and current condition when performing any type of therapeutic treatments helps ensure a successful outcome with minimal risks involved.
