I am a fully qualified Equine Sports Masseuse who studied initially with Equestricare. I have furthered my education with a dissection with the renowned Sharon May Davis, completed Equi-Tape Kinesiology taping and I'm studying Animal Neuro Myofascial Release and I recently attended EMMET. Equine Sports Massage works on the whole body, influencing the muscles, tendons, joints and skeletal framework
. I use a range of techniques to help release tension in areas of the body which may be causing a restriction in movement and lack of performance. I encourage and provide advice to clients on stretching, strengthening, nutrition, hoof balance, teeth and saddle fit. http://www.horsemassage.com.au/
Red Light Therapy - In my tool kit I use a red light pad and torch which further helps release tension, can penetrate deep damaged tissue and encourages repair on a cellular level. Benefits of Red Light - IN SUMMARY
LED’s at specific wavelengths increase circulation by increasing the formation of new capillaries. This allows more blood supply – hence more oxygen and vital nutrients to reach tissues. This increased circulation also allows for the faster removal of metabolic wastes. Studies site that LED Therapy stimulates the production of collagen. Collagen is an essential protein for repair to damaged tissue, including ageing skin and scars. LED Therapy stimulates the release of ATP – Adenosine triphosphate. ATP is the major carrier of energy to all cells. LED Therapy increases the activity of the lymphatic system thus promoting a faster elimination of swelling – oedema in tissues. LED Therapy reduces the excitability of nervous tissue by stimulating the release of endorphins. Endorphins are the body’s natural pain fighting chemicals. LED Therapy increases the synthesis of RNA and DNA. This helps damaged cells to be replaced more quickly. LED Therapy increases phagocytic activity hence helps fight infections. Phagocytes help to destroy and mop up dead or degenerated cells. LED Therapy stimulates tissue granulation which is an important part of tissue repair. LED Therapy stimulates trigger points and acupuncture points. LED Therapy helps to relax muscles and reduce stress. I find it extremely effective on injuries, scar tissue and acupuncture points. https://www.redlighttherapy.com.au/
