Benefits of Equine Massage & Bodywork

 

While some benefits may seem obvious such as easing sore muscles, aiding in muscle recovery, relaxation & improved blood circulation, there are many additional benefits beyond this.

Consistent sessions can help your horse learn how to use their muscles properly. In every session, I work to release blockages that can be preventing your horse from moving to their fullest potential. A tilted pelvis can limit hind end extension, a tight/sore back will impact proper collection and create a hollow back (which is neither fun to ride for you or your horse!) and a block in the shoulder can impact front limb extension to name a few common concerns.

Your horse is more than a beautiful creature. Let me help bring your horse to it’s fullest potential & feel their best!

“Thank you Melissa for assessing and assisting my super sensitive horse with his tension!! Melissa was thorough, but let my horse determine how far to go each time. This created trust and helped him improve overall. I also love the custom after session reports and photos so I can see his progress. Melissa puts so much care in her work and she’s wonderful to work with!! - Jill S.”

“Can’t recommend high enough! Melissa is so friendly, professional and extremely knowledgable, I always learn something new. My riding drastically improved after she worked on my gelding. My horse and I always feel the benefits from her sessions. 5 stars highly recommend” - Laura H.
