Equine Massage​​

​

Equine massage is the practice of massage therapy on horses and is used for pain relief, relaxation, stress reduction, or enhancement of athletic performance. Whether there is a specific goal or not, massage therapy tends to increase the general health and wellness of the horse.

​

During the massage, the soft tissue is manipulated with the goal of loosening tight muscles, joints, tendons, scar tissue and edema; increasing blood flow and lymphatic activity; and reducing stress.

 

Among the many documented benefits of massage are:

• Enhance muscle tone and range of motion.

• Reduce inflammation and swelling in the joints, thereby alleviating pain.

• Promote the healing process by increasing the flow of nutrients to the muscles, and aids in carrying away excessive fluids and toxins.

• Release tension and relax muscles.

• Stimulate circulation by releasing tension in muscles and releasing endorphins – the body’s natural pain killers.

• Help to maintain the whole body in better physical condition.
