from Sheffield Equine Massage, Alternative Therapies
I am a registered Equine Massage Therapist, being registered with the National Association of Registered Equine Massage Therapists and I am fully insured.
As a therapist the horses muscular system and corresponding physiological effects are my areas of expertise. Through my studying and experience I have learned to evaluate, locate and treat muscles and muscular related problems/conditions.
Massage is a well-practised treatment that stimulates and improves circulation, helps repair tissue, eases stiffness and relieves fatigue. A regular routine of massage can help the horse to relieve stress and tension. It can also help prevent injury to the horse and improve the horse's performance.
If you notice that your horses behaviour has changed, you are well advised to act sooner rather than later. They may be suffering from a range of ailments, including joint pain, muscle strain, poor circulation or stress.
Equine massage is not a cure, but scientific evidence shows that it can help relieve symptoms of pain and discomfort, enhance their performance and their range of movement and produce relaxation. Under the requirements of The Veterinary Act 1966, you must ask for the permission of your vet before massage is applied.
