Sports Massage Therapy for the Serious (and not so serious) Sporting Athlete

Equine sports massage is the therapeutic application of professional sports massage techniques which are then applied to the horse. Few human athletes would compete without preparing their bodies using massage and stretching exercises, so it is rather surprising that for the supreme athlete - the horse - this is virtually unheard of.

More than 60% of the horse's bodyweight is muscle. This allows for a combination of various massage and stretching techniques to enable the performance horse to compete to its full potential. However, massage should not be confined to the sports horse and can also certainly be beneficial to retired horses or those recovering from injury. Please refer to Massage Benefits.
