Equine in Motion - Equine Sports Massage

28/02/2026

This is such a brilliant post - I do hear the 'just a massage' or 'just getting a pamper' comment and its disappointing to say the least.

I have been an equine sports therapist for 23 years now, successfully running my own business with professional and amateur clients across most equestrian disciplines and have invested considerable money and time into my initial and ongoing training and development. I work alongside vets, farriers and other professionals. I pride myself on the service I offer, working in rehabilitation, performance or maintenance - there is no 'just' about it.

“Just a massage therapist.”
Those words get thrown around far too lightly.

I promise there’s nothing “just” about what we do. Every session is built on solid foundations, anatomy, biomechanics, pathology, and a deep understanding of how pain, compensation, workload, and management all link together. Massage therapy is good solid training, ongoing CPD, educated hands that can feel what’s changing in the body, and the professional judgement to know when treatment is appropriate, and sometimes more importantly when it isn’t.

It’s more about spotting the quiet signs before they become loud problems. Working alongside vets, farriers, and trainers as part of a wider rehabilitation or performance plan. We are helping horses stay comfortable, move better, and cope with the demands placed on them, whether that’s elite sport or everyday life.

Massage therapy isn’t a luxury. It isn’t guesswork, and it definitely isn’t something you can dismiss with the word “just.” So next time you hear that phrase, pause for a minute. Because behind it sits skill, science, experience, and accountability.

👀 And there is absolutely nothing “just” about that.

First client of the day....cheeky chappie New Forest Abu who has a penchant for enthusiastic field games despite Friends, Forage and Freedom. Hes been a bit off lately, although no lameness, in ridden work and his brilliant owner asked me to book him in for a session. Nothing obvious watching him move but on palpation sensitive and reactive throughout his back and quarters. Massage and soft tissue work, some homework and a couple of days rest and a review booked.

Super trooper superstar Timey having an Equine Sports Massage in the sunshine today. This amazing little chap was purchased two months ago as a feral unhandled New Forest pony. Within 2 days of arriving he developed life threatening strangles, resulting in an emergency tracheostomy and 24hr a day intensive care treatment at home with his amazing owner . He survived! He is terribly weak and has had an incredible amount of intervention, but his amazing attitude have carried him through and is recovering well with his buddy Torro on some good grass in Sussex. What a superstar!

I recently watched an excellent webinar hosted by The Equine Education Hub with Dr Ben Sykes regarding the two different ulcer disease types. So very informative and as this article discusses we need to understand this and approach the treatment and management of the two differently....

Drizzly day yesterday seeing 3yr old Maisie for her 3rd session. Concentrating on shoulder/thoracic sling mobilisation and release.....1st session as a 2 year old she wasn't sure at all ....starting to enjoy it now. All credit to fabulous owner for bringing her on so slowly and sympathetically....although she is in denial that shes still pony size!!

I'm a great believer in this...'movement is life'. For rehabilitation but also enhancing performance and maintenance, important to understand what are and how to develop the correct movement patterns

Lovely session with Kimero. This lovely Spanish horse has found a fabulous forever home with but has clearly had some traumatic injuries previously (details unknown) as evidenced by the scars on his side. He has had some radio frequency treatments for the scar tissue and im working alongside this and his owners to release compensatory areas of tension and develop correct movement patterns with him.
