The benefits of equine massage therapy are too numerous to count, but the following examples demonstrate how valuable massage therapy can be:

 

 

 

· Promotes proper fiber alignment within muscles, tendons & ligaments

· Eliminates adhesions, restrictions & contractures

              (which allows for easier movement & a longer stride)

· Addresses compensatory problems in injury situations

· Decreases inflammatory responses (pain, swelling, immobility) allowing the body to heal itself faster and more efficiently

· Reduced swelling decreases pressure on nerves therefore decreases pain

· Increases tissue drainage of wastes and toxins and brings fresh oxygen & nutrients to hard-working muscles.

· Induces a parasympathetic nervous response which slows & strengthens the heart beat and produces deeper, more efficient breathing

· Improves joint range of motion & increases blood supply to joints

· Encourages proper movement of colon contents

· Increases skin gland secretions promoting a healthy coat and skin

· Improves overall well-being and disposition

 

And these are only a FEW of the benefits!
