Equine Sports Massage - benefits

Equine Sports Massage is beneficial for all horses and ponies, from competition to companion animals!

Massage involves the manipulation of soft tissues and requires good knowledge of the anatomy and biomechanics of the animal.

There are many benefits associated with massage (and most people who have experienced a massage themselves will agree with these!).

Massage promotes relaxation, relieves tension and reduces stress. This leads to an improvement in mental state and general wellbeing.

Additionally, equine sports massage can increase circulation, improve muscle tone and condition and support toxin removal.
