Equine Sports Massage Therapy is where soft tissues of the horse are manipulated with the goal of loosening tight muscles, joints, tendons, scar tissue and stress points; increasing blood flow and lymphatic activity and reducing stress. Trigger point therapy, stretching and mobilisation techniques also form part of my massage treatments, along with heat therapy. Heat therapy is applied using my Epiony Heat Pad and Thermal Wand as and when required depending on your horses needs, every horse is different and their treatment will be tailored specifically to them.

By promoting relaxation, circulation and healing, equine massage can help improve a horse's performance, balance and mental state. Massage plays a very important role in prevention therapy and in recovery from injury, for example if your horse is on box rest, muscle atrophy can occur and/or legs start to fill up. Massage can help to stimulate unused muscles and encourage lymphatic drainage to remove the build-up of toxins from your horses body. The manipulation of soft tissues, fascia and muscles can improve how your horse looks, performs and ultimately feels in his/her self. The difference can often be seen after just one treatment.

While the main aim of equine massage is manipulating muscles, it also has a positive effect on your horses lymphatic, circulatory, respiratory and nervous systems, leaving your horse with an all over wonderful sense of well being. Every horse can benefit from massage work, from your retired/non ridden pony to your happy hacker to your high level competition horse.
