How Will Massage Benefit My Horse?

The Sport Horse

Sports massage for the sport horse effectively prevents injury and maximizes performance. Massage provides an anaerobic workout for your horse, working out muscle tension and creating more blood flow to help treat areas of soreness and tightness. Massage will help increase your horse’s range of motion and athletic performance.

Once I work with your horse, we can work together to create the best plan for how frequently your horse needs to be massaged.

The Rehabbing Horse

Whether they're on stall rest or getting started back into work, massage helps maintain and build proper muscle tone for the rehabbing horse. Massage will help reduce soreness in your horse and relax them aiding in recovery.

A rehabbing horse can be massaged as frequently as necessary. For horses on full stall rest or starting back in work weekly or bi-weekly massages are recommended to keep them feeling their best.

The Retired Horse

Sports massage for the retired horse has the following benefits:

• Maintaining muscle tone

• Reduced soreness

• Maintained range of motion

• Pain Management for older horses

Massage for your retired horse can be done regularly or as a special treat to pamper them for a day.

What is BEMER?

Bemer stands for Bio-Electromagnetic Energy Regulation. It uses magnetic pulses to stimulate blood cells increasing blood flow and decreasing muscle tension. It aids in circulation by bringing more oxygen into the blood. Bemer can help to maintain a horse between massages and make massages more beneficial. Bemer is safe to use alongside other therapy options and is backed by veterinarians.
