Performance Equine Massage

Performance horses, just like their human athlete counterparts, work and train very hard to reach their impressive results. Training, nutrition, as well at preventative and palliative care is imperative to helping horses achieve their maximum potential; to jump higher, run faster, to execute detailed maneuvers. But in reaching such feats, the body is taxed resulting in injury and premature wear. Massage therapy manipulates the soft tissues of the body. This body work promotes drainage, relaxation, and stimulation. It improves circulation, removes toxins, and reduces pain. Equine massage therapy has been used for thousand of years. Throughout history, people have been massaging their horse as early as the ancient Romans and Chinese through the Hopi tribe of the Native Americans.
