What is Equine Massage Therapy
Massage
Equine Massage Therapy uses a variety of massage techniques and strokes to stimulate blood flow to different areas of the body. This encourages blood flow and brings in oxygen and other nutrients, at the same time removing lactic acid build up and eliminating other metabolic waste from the body. This encourages injured muscles to heal, and healthy muscles to stay flexible and pain free.
Using only my hands to feel the muscle tension. This is a non-invasive and very powerful therapy. Each session is customized to each individual horse's needs, but at the same time massaging the whole body from head to hoof.
Massage is not a substitute for veterinary care. I will work closely with you, your vet, chiropractor, and farrier to benefit the whole horse.
