Benefits of Equine Massage
Promotes general wellbeing by boosting the circulatory and immune systems while greatly relaxing the nervous system. Increasing comfort, quality of life, and much more!
Focusing on the needs of the each individual horse emotionally and physically.
Supports Immune System
Lymphatic fluid can become stagnant due to the lymphatic system not having a pump. Massage increases the flow of lymph.
Emotional Health
Helps with fear, separation anxiety, grieving, and aggression. While aiding in stress release and can lead to behavioral improvements. Horses lack the ability to reason and understand what causes their anxiety, reverting to fight or flight intern causing a build up of muscle tension.
Increased Blood Circulation
Increasing the rate of healing and decreasing atrophy of muscle tissue. Massage encourages blood vessels to dilate allowing an increase of nutrient, oxygen, and proteins to reach tissue.
Muscle and Joint Health
Relief of muscle tension, pain, and discomfort while improving and maintaining joint flexibility and range of motion.
Improved Recovery Time
Helps with maintaining muscle health and tone. Relieves pain cause by inflammation from constricted muscles due to workouts, events, or injury.
Assessing Structural Imbalances
Imbalances from genetics or due to injury can cause the body to compensate leading to muscle tightness. An equine that is imbalanced can have stride or lead issues. Massaging these areas out can have them moving and feeling their best, while giving you a smoother ride.
Stimulates Acupoints
These point can release neutrophils and opioids produced in the body acting as natural pain killers.
