🤲🏼Massage for humans & horses🤲🏼
Massage therapy is commonly used in human practice to enhance the body’s function and to overall help us feel good!
🐴What about our horses?
👩🏽🤝👨🏼Think about how much our human bodies go through in our day-to-day lives…
👩🏽🤝👨🏼You may sit at a desk, play intense sports, work a vigorous job, suffer from an acute/chronic condition, &/or experience an injury. All different degrees of physical activity or body status can prompt accumulation of stiffness, tension, pains & discomforts.
🐴What about horses who vigorously work 5-6 days a week? Or retired horses who spend their day grazing in a field? Or an injured horse who may be on stall rest?
👩🏽🤝👨🏼What about mental stress? What happens to our body when a lot is going on in our mind? Our body may tense, stiffen or increase pain symptoms of other injuries or bodily imbalances as we cope with stress.
🐴What about horses who may spook frequently, demonstrate anxious tendencies or have high energy bursts? Or horses who struggle on or off property, in groups of horses or have a hard time with human interaction?
🤍What do we do to fix this?
👩🏽🤝👨🏼Humans use massage therapy as a treatment to find & maintain relief throughout our body. This not only benefits the body, but also our mental status.
🐴So why not continue to use this method on our equine partners?
🤍 No matter the age, physical condition, injury or if you’re horse or human…
Massage therapy stimulates the nervous system & enhances the relaxation response through increased circulation & release of musculature. This method can correct imbalances of uncoordinated muscular activation around joints during use & at rest. This ensures the body has no need to send pain signals due to malfunction of muscles or joints. This style of bodywork enables clients to regain full range of motion through joints & use energy efficiently towards movement & overall function.
👩🏽🤝👨🏼🐴 So why not use massage therapy to benefit both ourselves & our horses?
