Equine Massage
Therapy
The
benefits of massage are well known and in most cultures massage of some
form has been practised since the dawn of time.
Massage benefits
human muscles, and many sports people would not go with out it, why should
the horse be any different?
Horses are very tactile animals, you
often see them grooming and rubbing each other with mutual pleasure. If
you watch you will also see each horse tell the other where they want the
tactile therapy to be applied. For the horse, massage is
natural!
Equine
Tactile Therapy
We
fully assess the horse prior to treatment. Following equine massage we
educate the rider/owner in specific techniques for horse
rehabilitation including specific exercise regimes, tactile therapy
routines, natural therapy and nutritional management.
Sports
Massage is offered to the rider if they also have postural or physical
issues affecting their riding ability.
ACATT Clinic offers:
RELAXATION MASSAGE:
to assist in horse behaviour Management, and reduce tension related to the
environment, physiological and  emotional
factors.
EQUINE SPORTS MASSAGE: To prepare a horse for work, assist
in recovery from exercise, and to treat any sport related muscular issues
between work sessions.
SPORTS MASSAGE is most effective as an
injury preventive therapy if applied routinely. Thus Christine teaches her
clients how to perform a number of strokes so they can continue the care
and further enhance the muscular health of their horse.
