Restoring Movement for Horses and Humans
 

Therapeutic massage for horses and humans helps to restore normal motion promoting balance, health, and relaxation.

Whenever we ask our horses (and ourselves) for maximum performance in any discipline, their fullest potential is only achieved through good movement.

Good movement is achieved through free motion and:

The most prevalent reason for the loss of free motion is residual muscle tightening that develops from repeated strains and exertions. Freedom of movement comes from lively impulsion and suppleness of joints and muscles free from the paralyzing effects of resistance.

Anything less than maximum efficiency is a problem and the possible beginning of a more serious one. Sports massage therapy goes beyond the symptom to the underlying cause.

Ideally, massage should be done on a regular basis as a preventative treatment for both you and your horse.
