It’s really important when performing sports massage to use your body weight. Lean into the movements and keep things fluid. That way the massage is deeper, more meaningful and allows the muscles and fascia time to release. It also allows the therapist longevity as your fingers and hands will get sore and possibly damaged as a result of not using your body weight.

This lovely mare was sensitive at first but then really let me in.

If you’d like to improve your horse’s health and performance, let me know.

Equine Therapist of the Year sponsored by Equicantis

Behind many happy, comfortable horses is a skilled equine therapist quietly doing the work, improving movement, supporting recovery, and helping horses feel and perform at their best.

This award is about recognising those equine therapists who put horse welfare first. They take the time to really understand each horse, work alongside vets and owners, and make a genuine difference through their hands-on care.

Whether they work independently, run a one-person practice, or support yards and riding schools across the country, equine therapists play a vital role in keeping horses healthy and comfortable.

If you know an equine therapist who goes above and beyond, someone you trust with your horse, who explains what they’re doing and why, and who truly cares, we’d love to hear about them.
Nominations are now open for Equine Therapist of the Year, sponsored by Equicantis.

The science is proof! Don’t bother with sports drinks and electrolytes, chocolate milk helps better with recovery from exercise!

Most runners reach for expensive sports drinks after hard workouts. Your refrigerator might already contain a recovery option that works just as well for a fraction of the cost.

Chocolate milk has gained traction as a post-workout recovery drink, and the science actually supports this practice. Research from Dr. Joel Stager at Indiana University shows that chocolate milk's approximately 3:1 carbohydrate-to-protein ratio effectively restores glycogen while supporting muscle protein synthesis.

Here's what makes this compelling: traditional sports drinks provide carbohydrates and electrolytes but lack protein entirely, missing a critical component of recovery. Energy drinks are even worse - loaded with caffeine and sugar that can actually interfere with the recovery process.

Simply put: chocolate milk delivers carbs to replenish glycogen stores, protein to repair muscle damage, and fluid plus electrolytes to restore hydration status. Studies from Dr. Michael Saunders show recovery markers comparable to commercial recovery beverages at significantly lower cost.

The good news? This works best within the 30-60 minute post-exercise window when your muscles are most receptive to nutrient uptake.

Unfortunately, not all chocolate milk is created equal. The claim in this post about choosing "sugar-free" options misses the point - you actually need those carbohydrates for glycogen restoration. The key is avoiding unnecessarily high sugar versions while still getting adequate carbs for recovery.

The bottom line? Low-fat chocolate milk provides effective, affordable recovery nutrition for runs lasting 60+ minutes or intense workouts. Skip it after easy 30-minute jogs where plain water suffices.
