Equine massage therapy is rooted in human sports performance massage. A variety of techniques are utilized in equine massage including Swedish massage, myofascial release massage, and Shiatsu to manipulate the soft tissues. Through these techniques, muscle fiber adhesions and toxins present in stress points along the body are mechanically released to relieve pain and tension. 

Equine massage therapy has many incredible benefits for horses of all breeds, ages, and backgrounds including: 

• Increased blood & lymph circulation

• Boosts the flow of synovial fluid to lubricate joints

• Decreases inflammation in soft tissues

• Breaks up muscle adhesions, scar tissue & points of toxin buildup

• Enhanced range of motion, flexibility & stride length

• Improved proprioception & body awareness

• Reduced muscle pain, soreness, stress & tension 

• Increased endorphin release & relaxation

• Aids in recovery, rehabilitation & injury prevention
