Horse massage aims to maximise the horse's physical and mental capacity. Massage should be used, as much as possible, as a preventative treatment, because healthy tissues can withstand more stress and prevent injuries. The best way to prevent muscle and tendon injuries is by physical manipulation to treat and separate the adhesions, before the compromised part of the muscle fibres affect the connected muscles, tendons and the whole chain of movement. Massage can also be used as after-care for injuries. The purpose is to make an injury or compromised part of muscle to work as intended and increase the elasticity of the tissue.

We use combination of therapies depending on the issues the horse is experiencing.
Always paying attention to the horse’s reactions and comfort levels we can quickly apply a different technique if one is not well tolerated and use less strong method, LLLT or even energy balancing.
However, we strongly believe in manual “hands on” massage and mostly apply Sports Massage or Stress Point Therapy which has proven to bring the most effective changes in muscle tissues and the best vasodilation to the muscles.
Sports Massage technique involves application of direct pressure, compression and cross fibre friction. We focus on releasing muscle spasms manually throughout the horse’s body with techniques applied to different depths of the tissue.
We have found that working as a team is the most effective and enjoyable way for the horse. Whilst one massage therapist is treating the entire horse the other can then focus more on the problem areas. We will always work on the entire horse and not only on the problem areas due to the muscles being interconnected.
