More than 60% of a Horse's Body is Muscle.
Muscles that are tight or in a spasm put pressure on the rest of the body’s structure such as tendons, ligaments and bones. This restricts the horses range of movement and causes a reduction in blood flow along with pain which often results in reduced performance levels.
If these spasms are left untreated they will continue to worsen.
Equine Massage therapy is one of the ways to release these tight muscles and improve the circulation and performance.

When to use Equine Massage.
Equine Massage is invaluable to competition horses in the form of pre event massage, to aid warm up and preparation for an event and post event massage, to discourage aches and pains after extreme exertion
Horses recovering from injury and those with any reduction in usual performance will also benefit from massage.
Older horses or those with ongoing issues such as arthritis or laminitis will have their symptoms much relieved. Every horse will benefit from regular massage to ensure their body is in the best condition to do the work required of them.
