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.
