Why should you choose equine sports massage therapy for your horse?

  

  • Your horse deserves the best care for his body which in turn will influence his mind and spirit. 
  • Massage enhances muscle tone and can help enhance/restore  range of movement.
  • Massage can relieve muscle tension, spasm and trigger points.

 

 As a fully qualified and insured Equine Sports Massage Therapist I can help your horse to reach peak condition and stay that way.

Anyone who has experienced discomfort as a result of muscle spasm or muscle fatigue will know how it can affect attitude to and enthusiasm for life. Massage therapy can help alleviate muscle fatigue and spasms, reducing the risk of further injury, and helps induce relaxation by relieving tension thereby reducing the risk of over-using other muscles that compensate for any discomfort.

 

Massage can play a significant role in restoring the horse to the most efficient use of his body after injury and in making the horse comfortable in his own body.

 

If your horse is exhibiting behavioral issues or decreased performance due to physical discomfort caused by tight muscles or muscle spasms, massage therapy can help create a better balanced horse mentally, emotionally and physically. 

Equally, if you just want to pamper your horses, as with humans your horse doesn't need an injury to have a massage - because they are worth it. 

   

It is a legal requirement  that anyone treating an animal must have veterinary permission to do so - Veterinary Act 1966. I will contact your vet to request permission to massage your horse prior to the appointment. If during an assessment a horse presents with symptoms which may require veterinary attention (such as lameness), I may decline to proceed with treatment until veterinary advice has been sought.

 

 

 

 

 

" The horse moved like a dancer, which is not surprising. A horse is a beautiful animal but it is perhaps most remarkable because he moves as if he always hears music. " ~ Mark Helprin, A Winter's tale
