Sports massage theraphy focuses on the cause of the injury, plus preventative measures with the intent of relieving muscular soreness & providing stimulation for muscle repair.

Sports massage has become a vital method to maintain a performance horse's condition and fitness, and many international yards incorporate a therapist in to they stable routines along with Farriers, Chiroprators & Vets.  
                                                                 
                                                 

Its benefits range from preventing injury, to encourage repair and re-building of muscle tissue by enhancing flexibility and improving muscle tone.

With specific study in Anatomy & biomechincis/ it can also help with body misalignments which can be the cause of serious recurring injuries. The horse may hold or carrying him-self in such a way either to protect a sore joint, a old injury, or bad feet and also a ill-fitting saddle or bad riding. These factors contribute to the horse becoming uneven and out of his natural balance thus over loading other parts of his body.

Treatment routines are determined on the needs of the individual horse and what optimum performance you want, by giving your self the advantage of keeping your top performers in their training routines by minimizing the risk of down time caused by fatigue or injury.
