BENEFITS OF MASSAGE

Just like humans, horses accumulate soft tissue injuries through performance and exercise. Outside factors, such as poor fitting tack or underlying health issues can cause muscle sensitivity and require treatment. Any horse can benefit from sports massage, from retired ponies to high level competition horses, bringing a range of benefits to you and your horse, including:

  • Improves flexibility and range of motion

  • Reduces stress

  • Aids in recovery 

  • Releases tension

  • Relieves natural pain 

  • Reduces inflammation and swelling

  • Increases blood flow to muscles

  • Keeps muscles active and in a healthy state for horses on box rest

I have had Jodie out for my pony JD few times now and she is brilliant. JD has always felt amazing after a massage, he’s been relaxed and felt great under the saddle. Jodie is ever so thorough and takes her time to explain what she is doing and why. She will give clear advice to further help your horse post session and also show you what stretches to do should you need some support.

A very knowledgeable, affordable and a professional service. Thankyou Jodie!
