Equine Body Work
Equine Body Work is the therapeutic application of professional sports massage techniques and passive stretching, applied to a horse. This requires a thorough understanding of anatomy, together with knowledge of the interaction of bones, joints and muscles. Regular Equine Body Work has been proven to enhance performance and overall health and well being, acting as a preventative maintenance. As with other professional athletes, regular sports massage can help with:
* increasing range of motion and enhancing gait quality
* improving stamina, suppleness and flexibility
* improving disposition and providing relaxation, relieving tension
* aiding rehabilitation by preventing muscle wastage and relieving
boredom
* muscles associated with an orthopaedic issue, which can be kept flexible
and free from pain
* improving circulation
Please be aware that Body Work is not a replacement or substitute for veterinary attention; veterinary opinion must be sought if there is any doubt. Showjumping/Riding Coaching
