Benefits of Massage
 

Heal Injuries

Lengthens connective tissue breaking down and preventing the formation of adhesions and reduces the danger of fibrosis. Hastens the elimination of waste products and other toxins by stimulating circulation in the lymphatic system. Improved circulation promotes healing and can prevent injuries.

Enhance Muscle Tone

Restores mobility to injured or damaged muscles, eases muscle spasms and relives tension. Horses are sixty percent muscle. Tension in any part of the body will reduce the effectiveness of the entire body.

Improve Range of Motion

Relieves joint pain by reducing inflammation and swelling. Improved circulation increases the flow of synovial fluid to the joints.

Boost Athletic Performance

Prepares the muscles and body for exercise and free motion. Generally improves disposition.

 
Our aim is to restore the horse's freedom of movement by reducing the resistance to motion. Skilled body workers can detect and act on subtle changes at an early stage, maintaining a horse's performance level.  ~ Debranne Pattillo
