Equine Sport Massage Therapy
Horses benefit from massage therapy for a variety of reasons. Built up lactic acid from a step up in training, scar tissue from an injury, damage to surrounding tissues from arthritis. The release of scar tissue and lactic acid will help improve the blood flow throughout the whole body. These are only a few reasons your horse may be uncomfortable, and would benefit from massage therapy.
Balance Pad Sessions
Create a stronger sense of proprioception (the awareness of one's own balance and bodily position) within your horse. Balance pads are a fantastic way for your horse to communicate where exactly they feel they need more support or a little cushioning. They are also very useful for challenging a horse to engage their core, topline, and thoracic sling for balance. This low impact, low strain modality is especially helpful for rehabbing, senior, and performance horses.
Myofascial Release
Unlike traditional massage (which focuses primarily on kneading muscle bellies), myofascial release (MFR) uses gentle, sustained pressure into tissue barriers. The hold allows the gel-like ground substance and collagen fibers in the fascia to soften, rehydrate, and re-align rather than fighting the tissue with force, which could cause more damage.
Rehabilitation and Conditioning Consultations
Are you feeling stuck in your conditioning plan with your horse? Maybe they're just coming off of an injury or stall rest. This can be such a daunting time for any horse owner, it can often lead you to feeling lost, or with more questions than answers. Let us help you with that! We have options ranging from in person or online consultations, or if you're feeling confident and are ready to move forward with a very informative program, check out the LLE Conditioning/ Rehab Manuals page!
