Massage
Routines & Therapies
There are various massage therapies -
each focuses on the cause of muscle injury to relieve pain and to
prevent future injuries to those muscle groups. Depending on the use of
your horse, different disciplines will put more or less stress on
certain muscles. The contemporary horse is faced with demands for which
their bodies were not designed – for example, they are not meant to
carry loads upon their backs, they are not designed to jump nor are they
designed to perform the continual, stressful movements of dressage. I
will use different massage routines or a combination of routines with
your horse, and can discuss their benefits with you. Each massage
routine when used as part of a permanent, long-term program, is designed
to help your horse achieve balance and to prevent injury.
