Equine Massage Therapy

An Equine Massage Therapy session is a unique approach to equine physical therapy that focuses on releasing tension and promoting nervous system regulation in horses. Here’s what you can expect:

Each session usually starts with a brief consultation about the horse’s background, any concerns, and the owner’s goals. Margaret then evaluates the horse’s posture and movement patterns to locate areas of tightness or imbalance. Using a blend of light contact, focused pressure, and guided movement, Margaret works to ease tension in the muscles, joints, and connective tissues. Sessions are conducted in a calm, level, and dry space where the horse can remain relaxed and at ease. The overall aim is to encourage physical and emotional release, support greater mobility, and promote the horse’s overall comfort and well-being.

​

Equine Massage Therapy has several benefits for horses, including:

​

​

  • Reduced muscle tension and pain

  • Improved range of motion and flexibility

  • Enhanced overall mobility and performance

  • Increased relaxation and reduced stress

  • Improved circulation and healing

  • Enhanced bond between horse and rider/owner

​

​This approach is suitable for horses of all ages and backgrounds, including competitive athletes and older horses, and can safely complement other therapeutic methods or treatment plans.
