Equine Therapy
Following similar principles as human sports massage, like people, animals equally suffer from muscular pain & discomfort which may hinder the way they move, in turn causing them to use their body incorrectly by compensating, this then initiates ridden problems.
Using my hands, I can feel muscle swellings, tightness, spasms, trigger points & uneven muscle tone across your horse’s body. Using a combination of different massage techniques such as trigger point release & myofascial release. We can work to alleviate areas that are causing your horse discomfort or even preventing them from performing at their best!
