Equine Sport Massage greatly enhances the performance of your equine athlete. It is most effective when used before competition or training. A Pre-event massage used in concert with a post-event treatment is critical in preventing soreness or injury.
Pre Event Massage – Enhances performance by increasing mobility. The massage stimulates circulation and allows the muscles to fill with well oxygenated, nutrient filled blood.
Post Event Massage – Flushes toxins that are released during heavy muscle activity, calms the nervous system and stimulates the lymphatic system. This reduces the effects of trauma that has occurred during competition and reduces the risk of injury.
