Muscle is a type of soft tissue in the body connecting to bone, internal organs, and blood vessels.  Its primary responsibility is to control overall movement of a body.

Equine Sports Massage Therapy is extremely beneficial to all areas of disciplines in the equestrian world as well as our retirees.

When there is tension in a muscle, it can cause discomfort to the horse. When this happens, your horse may start to compensate during performance (avoiding using the muscle that has excess tension) which leads to other muscles to be overloaded and over worked. This can put severe strain on the joints, ligaments, and tendons. It can also cause behavioral issues during performance. When horses’ muscles are flexible, they have increased mobility, better range of motion, and increased joint flexibility, all of which lead to a better performance.  
 

Combining Equine Sports Massage Therapy & MagnaWave: Combining the two modalities can lead to longer lasting results! 

Benefits of Pre-Event Massage Therapy: Traveling to shows puts a lot of physical and emotional stress on the horse. Pre-event massage can help reduce the amount of stress that comes with traveling and performing.

Benefits of Post-events Massage Therapy: After the physical and emotional stress of traveling and performing, massage therapy can help relax the horse with reduced recovery time. This also helps the horse return to its training schedule more quickly.
