Massage

Essentially the manipulation of soft tissues in the body, massage methods have historically been manual but with recent advances in technology, electrical modalities have been introduced. Massage could help with performance, which depends on freedom of movement, full flexibility and an absence of musculoskeletal pain, all of which can improve with massage (Gellman, 1998).

When to use Massage?

• For horses on box rest to maintain circulation.
• After exercise to help tired muscles.
• Before exercise as part of a warm up.
• At show or after travelling.
• On your horses day off as part of a maintenance programme.
• Anytime as a reward.
