Day 5 of 5 why to massage

5. Equine Massage Provides Pain Relief

As we all know, massage encourages the release of endorphins and this rush of positive hormones can help relieve pain. However, this pain relief is only temporary, and a more long-term solution should be sought-after.

3. Aids Muscle Recovery

Equine massage is a fantastic way to aid muscle recovery. Massage will free the body from fatigue and cramping, as well as improving the access of oxygen to rich blood cells to help replenish the depleted cells and help repair any torn fibres.

Equine massage therapy is one of the most effective methods to use when encouraging muscle repair, swelling and fluid reduction, and healing after injury or illness. It is effective because massage warms up the muscles and helps improve blood flow through the body, helping to speed up recovery.

2. Massage Helps Tackle Psychological Issues

If your horse is timid, fearful, or aggressive, massage can help relieve these problems. Many timid horses are fearful of touch or human interaction. Equine massage can help relieve these problems by slowly teaching a horse trust and gentle touch, and not all humans will hurt them. Massage is a great way to bond with a difficult horse and will often be recommended by vets.

Day 1 of 5 why to massage.

1. Increased Flexibility

As horses age or experience physical problems or injuries, their flexibility may be compromised. Equine massage is positive as it can reduce muscle fatigue, inflammation, or tightness. Through stretching and massage techniques, equine massage ensures correct muscle alignment and improves the elasticity of the muscles. As a result, the flexibility of your horse is improved.

In a study performed by the Jack Meagher Institute (founder of equine massage), thanks to equine massage the stride length of a horse increased by 3.6% and at a walk and trot, 1.8% – a significant improvement after just a 20-minute massage!

* Equine Anatomy Lesson Alert! Trapezius*

The Trapezius Muscle is a triangular shaped muscle that connects from the Thoracic (Mid-Back) to the Scapula (Shoulder-Blade) and the Cervical (Neck). The attachment to these and the broadness of the muscle showcases the overall importance of this muscle!! Especially because it is one of the many muscles that are responsible for connecting the Scapula to the body!

The Trapezius muscles main responsibility is the shoulder movements needed for your horse to raise and lower the front legs as well as the neck elevation and flexion.

Issues with the Trapezius muscle can effect your horse’s ability to pick up the correct lead, stretching their legs out properly for forward and back movements, ability for your horse to properly flex and bend at the neck, issues jumping, turning a barrel, spinning and much more!!

Saddle fitting plays a large role in the health of the Trapezius muscle and the muscle is easily stressed from performance work due to how many movements it’s responsible for!!

Next time your horse is having issues or seems a little off consider booking a massage!! Muscle plays a large role in movement and massage therapy can help you unlock your horse’s potential!!
