All of these things lead to many muscles in the horse's body working overtime to
compensate for the stress that they have just undergone.
Equine Sports Massage was designed to accommodate all horse disciplines
including those horses that are lay-ups, stall bound and those considered pasture pets. It doesn't matter what
a horse does daily, what is most important is that all horses use their muscles in the same way but to different levels of
exertion.

When comparing the treatment given to horses with that of
the human world it is most comparable to massage that is given to someone in physical therapy after an injury or ailment.
However, with horses we have the opportunity not only to help an injury heal quicker but perhaps prevent one.
An Equine Sports Massage
Therapist is trained to locate each seperate muscle group. Once located, precise technique is used to aid in the healing
process of an overworked muscle. It is very common for a horse to have problems with several muscle groups since 60%
of the horse's total body weight is muscle.
