For Horses

Equine Massage and Healing

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.

I can help:

  • Horses processing trauma and help release trauma held within soft tissue.
  • Prevent injury by mobilising joints and soft tissues and aid their healthy state

  • Manage discomfort & pain as well as many chronic complaints such as osteoarthritis and other degenerative conditions
  • Speed up healing from common conditions and injuries such as: ulcers, strains, sprains, colic, dental issues, hoof imbalances, getting cast, prolonged periods of lameness and box rest etc

  • Canter lead issues
  • Improve your horses behavior, temperament and mood.
  • Facilitate homeostasis within the body and all the systems
  • Ease tension and aid recovery post heavy work out or competition

**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**

Referrals 

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.
