BSc (Hons) Equine Sports Therapist. Like any athlete, they always require sports massage to help keep them supple and flexible. Horses are also athletes, in any sport they may participate in. Your horse may benefit from sports massage therapy if they are showing any signs of pain or discomfort. These can be either: - Preference to one rein - Reluctant to canter on one side - Bucking / rearing - Head shaking - Uneven stride length - Girthing issues - Holding the head to one side - Carrying the tail to one side The benefits your horse will get from sports therapy: - Pain relief - Injury prevention - Improved circulation - Improved muscle tone - Increased flexibility and freedom of movement - Improved posture - Stress relief Services I provide: - Sports massage - Mobilisation - Stretching - Low Level Laser therapy - Equery (EMS) - Niagara Equissage - Saddle fitting assessment Not only will your horse benefit from the above, but I also provide exercises for my customers to do with their horses, until their next visit is due, to help maintain the work I have done. I always recommend your horse to have a treatment, every 4-5 weeks if they are in hard work / exercise.
