Muscular Problems Cause Poor Performance and Behavior Problems

Muscular tension and pain are the #1 cause of most equine behavior and performance problems. Major causes of equine muscular problems are overwork, improper conditioning, lack of cross training and ill fitting equipment.

WHO ARE WE?

Providing professional equine sports therapy services to our private clients and teaching the world’s best equine sports therapy courses are two big components of our professional lives.

Our focus is on the horse. Through our classes and therapy sessions, we hope to raise awareness and shift paradigms in the equine industry. Our desire is to empower horsemen with relevant information and skills that allow them to achieve maximum success, performance and personal fulfillment with horses.

 

OUR HISTORY

Courtney has many years experience working in a wide range of stable environments, working hands-on with horses of all different breeds and personalities.

In our opinion and experience, a healthy, strong back is imperative for correct biomechanical movement. In other words, if one has back pain their movement is compromised and undue stress is placed on other muscles/joints of the body. It is also true that there are situations where pain in another part of the body may be the cause of back pain.

HOW WE WORK

When we take on an equine client with significant muscle issues, we recommend that the owner commit to a series of 3 bodywork sessions spread out over a 3 week period.

We expect improvement after each session. Often, only 1 or 2 sessions are necessary. If the problems do not resolve after 3 sessions then we need to re-evaluate our approach and look at other parameters that may be causing the muscle issues.

Equine Sports Massage Therapy

 Equine Sports Massage Therapy

Sports Massage is a treatment that is Specifically designed to improve the performance of your horse.

Equine sports massage is the therapeutic application of hands-on techniques, long recognised for the purpose of increasing circulation and range of motion as well as improving the horses overall performance and stamina. It also relieves muscle spasm, tension and enhances muscle tone. Overuse, over stretching and overloading muscles can cause tissue lesions which can restrict the horses motion, create tension and pain which will affect performance. It can also cause compensatory problems if left untreated.

The Horse is an athlete and there are few human athletes that would compete without preparing their bodies using sports massage combined with stretching techniques & exercises. So there should be NO exception for the horse.
