A full body massage for your horse can be an incredibly relaxing event. Relieving soreness and stretching the muscles can help overall mood, flexibility, plus quicker recovery from exercise and/or injury.
Equine massage therapy has shown to reduce muscle fatigue, inflammation with the structure of the muscle, or tightness within the muscle or tendon. Through targeted stretching, acupressure points and specific massage techniques the horses alignment is improved and re-hydration of the muscle fibers and fascia are improved.
I recommend scheduling regular visits for your horse for chiropractic, & massage just like you are on a schedule with your farrier. If you are competing and expect your equine athlete to preform at their best they need to same maintenance that you require for yourself or more.
