Advent day 2...
Techniques...
Massage is an important part of our toolkit when it comes to being a physiotherapist. Following our assessment we have assessed the Tension, Texture, Temperature and Tenderness of the musculature and deemed which therapies are appropriate for your horse and will devise an individual treatment plan.
Here we are using effleurage techniques with increased pressure over the gluteals and down over the Biceps Femoris to target tension. Following on from massage we encorporated some hind limb stretches and then had the long term aim of building up strength in the hind end.
Watch out for another technique post and how we put everything together to create the tailored treatment plan for your horse..

Just a snippet of some massage techniques we use during a session! This is a lovely hunt horse we treat who has tension through his hamstrings and gluteals. This is to be expected as the back end of the horse is ‘the power house’ and therefore works hard to allow the horse to push off over hedges and to gallop along the downs. We used massage alongside electrotherapies and remedial stretching/exercises to relieve the tension and to help build a stronger, symmetrical, well balanced and muscled horse to help aid his job on the hunting field! Massage allows increased circulation, decreased muscular tension, improves mobility and flexibility within the muscles, improves suppleness as the tension restrictions have been removed and also has a relaxation affect! For more information on massage and the benefits or if you have any questions or would like to see the benefits for your own horse please do get in touch! #katierussellveterianyphysiotherapy #veterinaryphysiotherapy #vetphys #physiotherapy #physio #equinetherapy #equinephysiotherapy #equestrian #equine #horses
