Just like Canine and Feline Massage, Equine Massage is a very real, essential part of a horse's maintenance.  Horses are hard working animals. Whether they are a high-performance athlete or just a family pet, horses are in need of a massage just like the rest of us.

In the equine body, the muscular systems accounts for 60% of the horse's total body weight and muscles are the system responsible for motion.  If a muscle is tight or spasming, this produces a resistance to motion.  The horse will then work against that resistance and the resistance works against the horse.  This produces a vicious circle and, if the muscle eventually cannot handle the movement places on it, the horse may pull or even tear the muscle.

Chances are, if the cause of the symptoms is muscle related, Equine massage can help!  Here are just some maladies it can help with:-

• Head tossing

• Coordination difficulties

• Sore back

• Bending problems

• "Off" for no apparent reason

• Girth discomfort

• Tying up

• Colic

• Training problems

Equine massage is non-invasive.  It increases circulation and range of motion, and relieve tension and muscle spasms.  Not just for physical benefits though, Equine Massage can improve your horse's state of mind, making the bond between yourself and your horse even stronger.
