~Experience Freedom of Movement~
Every horse owner today recognizes the value of prevention of injury over curing injury. Unfortunately, it is difficult to prevent an injury if the cause is not recognized and understood. Equine massage therapy is about recognizing and solving issues before they become a problem, creating an emphasis on the value of keeping the equine athlete fit and supple, improving agility, soundness, endurance, and overall wellness. An invaluable tool for all horse owners, riders, and equine professionals; equine sports massage therapy points the way towards better care and management of our equine partners.

"Massage therapy is a useful preventative measure in performance horses. It provides relief to fatigued muscles, tendons and ligaments while helping to prevent further injury and damage.
"I have found in many cases that complementary therapies, such as frequent massage, can provide a complete and lasting resolution of clinical symptoms in our equine athletes."

Where there is tension or tightening in the muscles, natural movement is hampered and the risk of injury is dramatically increased. A horse's muscular system is the only system responsible for motion and makes up 60% of his total body weight. An Equine Sports Massage is the best way to keep the entire body in better physical condition and to prevent injuries.
