Equine Massage Therapy

Massage is one of the oldest and honored healing modalities in use today. It continues to grow in popularity because it promotes optimal health without the aid of medications and their associated unwanted risks and side effects. When this occurs, the structural integrity of the body has been compromised through the loss of soft tissue functionality including range of motion, pinched nerve, etc...When an injury occurs, there is tissue damage.  The damage is often referred to as lesions.

Lymphedema can manifes itself in a horse in many ways. The symptoms can be subtle and you may not be aware of it or it may exhibit it as a performance or behavioral issue.  It may refuse a jump, buck or kick for no apparent reason, fail to perform lead changes, etc.

The essence of massage in a course of Lymphedema management is to move vital fluids via circulation, which releases the "good hormones" and provides nutrients and removal of metabolic wastes. The end result is correction and restoration of soft tissue functionality which improves range of motion, reduces pain and improves the structural integrity of the body.  When your horse feels better, they perform better.  Owners and trainers see results and horses feel results immediately.

Equine massage is good for all horses whether they are athletes competing in local, state, national or international events, your weekend trail riding horse or the senior equine that could use a little extra tender loving care to ease the discomforts of aging.
