How Does it work?

• Because 60% of the horse is made up of skeletal muscle, direct manipulation of the muscles affects change throughout the horse's system.
• Muscles are always working...and if they're not working for you, they're working against you. Repetitive strains on muscles cause the muscle fibers to tense, shorten, and can eventually cause tears and more serious injuries.
• Massage affects the cause, not just the symptom of the problem. By breaking down the muscle spasms, massage increases circulation, releases tension, relieves pain, and aids in the healing and prevention of more serious injuries.
• Given the horses anatomy, circulation is always an issue. Massage allows oxygen and blood to return to constricted areas, thus reducing stress and trauma.
• Additionally, by lengthening the muscles, and increasing flexibility, massage increases the efficiency and mobility of your horse. By relieving pain and discomfort, massage generally improves the horse's disposition and sense of well-being.

Note: Massage is NEVER a substitute for Veterinary medicine.
