Your horse may benefit from a massage if you suspect that your horse's behaviour or training difficulties could be due to any musculoskeletal discomfort. Massage is not a cure all, but scientific evidence shows that it can help relieve symptoms of pain and discomfort, enhance performance and range of movement, and produce relaxation.One of the major benefits of equine sports massage is that it can help to enhance performance. We aim to achieve this by obtaining the best muscular health and balance for that individual, along with techniques used to help increase range of movement. Equine sports massage can also help minimise stiffness post competition.Any horse can benefit from massage - competing, ridden or retired. By aiming for optimum muscular health and balance for the individual concerned, there is a reduction in unnecessary wear and tear being placed on the body. Equine sports massage can also help to reduce stress and lead to a contented companion.
