Massage therapy
works by totally relaxing your horse, pinpointing any areas of discomfort and
locating muscle spasms. Muscle spasms make it difficult for the horse to have a
complete, natural range of movement. Therefore with massage therapy, your horse
will start working and performing better for you.
If your horse is nervous or has ticklish spots, massage therapy can also help to calm them and help them to accept pressure in these areas, as they will actually enjoy the treatment!
