Sports
massage differs from other forms of massage in that it
focuses on
the cause of the muscle injury; with the intent of not
just relieving muscular pain, but assisting as well in
the prevention of (future) injuries to those muscles.
Conditions such as acute muscle injury are obviously benefited
by sports massage therapy in addition to veterinary care.
Did you know that 60% of your horse’s total body
mass is skeletal muscle? Do your horse a favor and call

Have you ever had these “mystery
problems” with your horse?
• Your horse refuses to pick up right/left
lead
• Your horse suddenly just picked up the habit
of bucking or threatening to when asked to move forward
• Your horse went from “sweetiekins”
or “pookie” to “possessed by something
evil” or any attitude change
• Your horse has been to the vet and x-rayed,
checked, evaluated “X” amount of times
and there is no evidence of anything wrong, yet he
is still off
• Your horse is over reaching or has short,
choppy, strides
• Your horse has ever “tied up”
• Your horse seems to lack the balance and coordination
he once had or maybe never had
• Your horse has joint or arthritis pain. When
they have this type of pain they tend to over compensate
somewhere else which can affect the muscles and how
they function.
If the cause of the above problems is muscle related
a massage will help alleviate the issue(s)!
Benefits of Equine Sports Massage:
