Equine Sports Massage Therapy is the therapeutic application of hands-on massage techniques for the purpose of increasing circulation, relaxing muscle spasms, relieving tension, enhancing muscle tone, and increasing range of motion in high performance horses.
It’s easy to forget about massage techniques amongst all the electrotherapy’s however massage is and always will be one of the most effective modality that allows for constant feedback of the tissue texture. Massage does not have one specific purpose, different techniques achieve different results.
