Massage treatments carry so many benefits for a horse mentally and physically,  whether its a routine/maintenance treatment or an in depth treatment for a horse on box rest or recoving from injury. I use various techniques during the sessions, starting with palpation, followed by effleurage, tapotement, petrissage, and the gentle, subtle movements of myofascial release, I adapt and tailor my routine to suit the individual I'm treating.

The benefits of soft tissue therapy include improving circulation, reducing tightness and tension in muscles, soothing and relaxing, improvement in range of movement and flexibility, and contributing to the overall wellbeing of the horse while reducing the risk of injury.  Treatments are split into Routine & Maintenance, Rehabilation and Injury and Pre & Post Competition massage which also applies to lessons  and clinics. 

Completing my treatment with a happy, relaxed horse who feels good physically and mentally is the most important factor, and it is a privilege to treat these amazing athletes and to be allowed with their trust into their personal space to help them stay supple, balanced and in harmony
