Equine athletes, just like human athletes, strain and overwork their muscles while performing. A Certified Equine Massage Therapist will massage to help relax the muscles and decrease recovery time. Equine massage increases circulation which benefits aged horses. Even the backyard companion will benefit from therapeutic equine massage. Aged, arthritic horses and those with old sports injuries benefit greatly from equine massage. If you have noticed that your horse has shortened his strides, has a sore back or stiffness, an unwillingness to bend to the left or right, problems picking up the canter or bucking during transitions, then equine massage therapy will aid in relaxing or stimulating the muscles. Underdeveloped or overdeveloped muscles can affect your horses gait, flexibility and suppleness. Equine massage therapy will stimulate underdeveloped muscles and strengthen the area. As a Certified Equine Massage Therapist I will use gait analysis to help determine any problem areas that can be massaged to return fluidity of movement for the client.

I have been involved with horses for 28 years. I have three horses of my own at home in the Niagara Region, Ontario. I am currently taking the Equine Science Certificate at Guelph University. I believe in continuing to educate myself as the changes in equine science and research are constant. I am willing to work with your veterinarian and chiropractor to customize a wellness plan for your horse. Equine massage will compliment any treatment plan.
