How could massage therapy help my horse:

- Acts as an 'early warning system' for detecting any issues developing

- Correcting compensatory issues before they develop as more chronic trauma

- Ensures muscles are functioning at their best which in turn improves gait, performance and stamina meaning the horse can work at their best ability for longer

- Helps protect tendons and ligaments

- Improving circulation to aid repair and rehabilitation, as well as producing a shinier coat

- Releasing endorphins and producing a sense of well-being and relaxation for the horse

 

A horse has an interesting physiology.  Designed to be flight animals, Mother Nature gave the horse a sleek, light lower leg to enable a fast run from danger.  It’s a great idea.  But in doing so, she created a small problem for the modern working horse.  Their lower leg is incredibly vulnerable to injury, relying only on tendons and ligaments to produce a huge amount of impulsion to enable our equine friends to run, school and jump. Too often people wait for their horse to show signs of muscular discomfort before treating. A good massage as part of your horse's regular routine can prevent problems developing.
