Equine Massage
Wherever man has left his footprint in the long ascent from barbarism to civilization we will find the hoofprint of the horse beside it.... ~ John Moore
Massage therapy has been widely accepted for many years as an alternative to "modern" medicine to help alleviate pain and maintain the overall health of the equine. Sports massage therapy is beneficial to horses of all activity levels, ages, genders, breeds and disciplines.
Equine Sports Massage Therapy offers customized programs to suit the individual needs of your equine partner. This program can be used as both therapeutic and preventative. Many equines are introduced to Sports Massage Therapy through injury or illness, but most do not realize this practice is even more effectively utilized to prevent injury and maintain the health of the horse.
Some of the benefits of Equine Sports Massage Therapy include improving performance, increasing muscle tone and range of motion, reducing inflammation and swelling of joints, increasing blood flow and eliminating toxins, promoting the healing process, relaxing muscle tone and allowing the horse to move freely and work comfortably, releasing endorphins (the body's natural pain killer), and improving the overall physical condition of the horse.
Many equines maintain a routine massage schedule however, this is not always necessary. Some horses only require a few sessions while others receive weekly or biweekly care.
