Equine Sports Massage is the theraputic application of professional sports massage techniques applied to the horse. The rate of recovery is improved by increasing circulation and reducing muscular tension which is the primary cause of muscular injury. Prompt attention to "minor" muscular injuries can prevent the development of more serious problems due to compensation.
More than 60% of the horse's body is weight is muscle. Small muscle injuries can take up to 90 days to become apparent (by a change in attitude, decreased performance or lameness), by which time they may have caused a more serious injury. Prompt attention to those "minor" injuries not only enhances a horse's performance but may prevent future problems. Muscle tightening is transmitted from one muscle group to another so, for example, shoulder tension may be transmitted to the muscles of the forearm, resulting in extra stress being placed on the tendons. Muscles may also over-enlarge with tension.
Used during training and pre and post competition massage helps keep muscles healthy, builds up those that may have wasted, maintains strength and suppleness and prevents atrophy even during a period of box rest or restricted work. After exertion massage minimises stiffness and speeds repair to tissue damaged as an inevitable result of physical stress and fatigue. passive stretches help to keep or restore joints and muscles to full working capacity.
