Emma is a fully qualified and insured Equine Sports Massage Therapist based in Cambridgeshire. She also covers parts of Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire.
Equine sports massage therapy (ESMT) utilises various clinical assessments followed by specific massage techniques, mobilisation and stretching. These techniques are non-invasive and, when correctly administered, will relieve muscle-related problems before they have chance to result in injury.
All horses/ponies can benefit from equine sports massage whether they are a top competition horse or a retired companion. Any activity has the potential to cause muscle soreness and stiffness. Using equine sports massage therapy as part of your horse’s maintenance regime will help prevent injury and increase performance.
As well as being an equine sports massage therapist, Emma is also a fully qualified and insured horse riding instructor. She has a keen interest in how the horse moves and how the rider affects the overall mechanics, causing imbalance and conformational issues so often seen during teaching sessions.
Emma has lots of experience with young, nervous and difficult horses. Her approach to work is quiet, calming, confident and patient.
