How will Massage benefit my horse?
Horse people are so emotionally connected to our horses that when they are injured or not functioning at their best, we are devastated.
INCREASED RANGE OF MOTION
Massage will not “fix” a joint problem in your horse; instead, it releases tension in the area, restoring the range of motion the animal may have lost due to injury or disease. Following a joint injury, the muscles instinctively tense up whenever the injured area is moved. This reflex does not go away easily even at rest. All this tightness mean the muscles and tendons won’t relax and then can’t move as freely as before. The longer this tension stays, the worse it gets.
