Equine massage therapy can be beneficial to any horse weather it just be for a relaxing treat to treating acute to chronic pain. a massage therapy session consists of firstly examining the horse, seeing how the horse moves in hand, on the lunge and sometimes under saddle if needs be. Then I carry out a full body massage on the horse witch consists of slow progressive moves and different techniques to help relieve any pain or discomfort the horse may have. At the end of the session i will do a reassessment to ensure the horse is now less sensitive. Sessions can last up to one to two hours on the first session depending on the horse.
As well as relieving pain massage therapy is a grate way to promote healthy wellbeing for your horse as it promotes balance, enhances muscle tone, improves flexibility and blood circulation.
