Massage Therapy Glossary

This is a specialized area of massage therapy for horses, developed to aid the equine world.  The horse’s body often requires rehabilitation, relief from pain and stress, detoxification, improved circulation, and improved joint mobility.  Massage is best for increasing circulation, relaxing muscle spasms, relieving tension, enhancing muscle tone, and increasing the range of motion in high performance horses.  Competitive riders and horse owners know the advantage of regular hands-on massage treatments to maximize the potential of their horses.
