Equine Massage Therapy
Equine massage therapy uses a variety of massage techniques and strokes to stimulate blood flow to targeted regions of the body. The increased blood flow brings healthy oxygen and nutrients to nearby tissues while removing harmful lactic acid and waste.
Benefits of Equine Massage Therapy
Pain relief
Improved proprioception
Stress relief
More efficient movement
Improved posture, circulation, hair, coat and muscle tone
Increased flexibility and range of motion
Immune system support
Injury prevention
Increased benefits when used in conjunction with chiro and acupuncture
PEMF – Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field Therapy
PEMF delivers a gentle non-invasive and therapeutic magnetic pulse to stimulate the cells metabolism, allowing the body to heal itself.
Every time a pulse is delivered through the white tubing, damaged cells are pulled to the surface of the skin where they are “exercised” to once more be able to repair and regenerate compromised tissue, accelerate bone and wound healing and increase oxygen absorption in the cells.
A practitioner is able to use the tubing all over the horse’s body, any area that in experiencing pain and inflammation will jump under the pulse.
Benefits of PEMF
Increase in circulation, flexibility, immune response, bone density, range of motion, and neuromuscular response.
Decreases pain, stiffness, inflammation, edema, spasms and stress, bruises, contusions and build up of lactic acid.
Equine Physio Taping
When applied to the body it mechanically decompresses the skin and underlying tissue
This decompression action promotes increased blood and lymph flow, decreases inflammation and relieves pressure. It can provide natural pain relief, stimulating mechanoreceptors and inhibiting nociceptors (pain generators) and stimulates proprioception
Benefits of Equine Physio Taping
Decreases pain and inflammation, supports joints and soft tissues, increases proprioception and energy flow
Decreases muscle spasm, tension and soreness
Relaxes muscles.
Decreases edema and swelling
Provides support for compromised tendons, ligaments and joints
