Human Athletes get Sports Massage Treatments,,,,,,,,,,, why not give your horse that same benefit?

Sports massage is a non-diagnostic, non-invasive, gentle, hands on soft tissue discipline that addresses the horse's body as a whole.


It has the effect of:

  • Inducing relaxation
  • Releasing hypertonic and traumatised muscles
  • Encouraging muscle tone
  • Enabling recovery from injury and atrophy
  • Alleviating pain
  • Assisting detoxification and lymphatic drainage

Why does my horse require a Massage?  I am often asked.  My reply is that your horse is an  Athlete and should therefore receive the treatment an athlete would! 

It makes no difference what your horse is used for.  As a horseowner you make sure that your horse's teeth don't get too bad, hooves don't get too long, that their saddle fits and that they get fed properly.  Why not also make sure that their muscles aren't sore as well?

 Equine Sports Massage is also an important part of your horse's health, it assists in enhancing optimum performance and should be viewed to be of equal importance on the path to your goal.

Equine Massage is not a new concept, it is a practice which has been in existence since early Roman times.   The early Romans and Chinese understood that massage contributed to their animals overall health.  Holistic wellness was central to their system of health care and great value was placed on the animals they used on the farm or to defend their land. 

Sports massage is invaluable in muscle injury recovery, it increases flexibility and reduces physical and mental stress.  Joint problems, torn or over extended ligaments and muscles, injury and surgery are some of the more common ailments which benefit from massage.
