Treatment benefits

 

There are numerous benefits of equine body work for health maintenance. Sports massage treatments can reduce risk of injury as there is less tension in the muscles enabling better movement and less strain on the joints.

 

Following injury compensatory muscle usage can be addressed ensuring a return to health with the best possible movement. Benefits depend on the individual situation and can be quite marked following the first treatment.

Some examples of the likely improvements are:

 

Improved stride length and better gait with freedom of movement

Better range of motion, suppleness and flexibility

Improved endurance and stamina

Improved temperament

Muscular pain relief

Improved circulation

Reduced muscular injury and better tissue elasticity

Improved digestive function and toxin elimination
