A ‘hands-on’ massage session has many physical benefits for your horse. Helping to prevent and relieve muscle tension, adhesions and stiffness, reduce pain and relax spasm, boost circulation, improve joint flexibility and range of motion. Massage can also help reduce the risk of injury, enhance muscle tone and strengthen athletic performance.

Alongside the many benefits of massage for competition and leisure horses, it is a very valuable treatment for horses on restricted exercise and/or box rest. For older horses it is a great way to help keep them supple, comfortable and using themselves correctly.

Healing can help release emotional, mental and physical blockages which can be held and deep rooted within the horses’ body & tissues. An energy exchange is channelled with both ‘hands on’ and ‘hands-off’ techniques sensing and observing positive and negative charges and changes in your horses subtle bodies and energy fields.

Ponies and horses of all types & ages for general maintenance and with more complex or acute conditions are very welcome.

**Please note that these sessions are not a substitute for veterinary attention or care I may be unable to treat your horse if they need to be seen to by a vet prior to safely being treated by me**

Your horse must be registered with a veterinary practice and I ask for vets to be contacted and made aware of our appointment before treating any horses. Please contact them well ahead of our appointment.

**If your horse is currently under veterinary treatment or has any ongoing / existing injuries or conditions – I legally require your vets permission to treat**

In some instances, I may refer you to other specialists and experts in their area in order to help you and your horse further. I am still and always will be learning and sadly do not hold all of the answers (if only!) I do firmly believe that a team effort with you and a multi-professional approach is best for your horse and it takes a dedicated group of experienced and caring professionals to help keep your equine partner at their best.
