If all you’re doing with your horse is chiro and/or PEMF then you aren’t taking care of your horse’s musculoskeletal system. You may think you are, but you aren’t.

You’ll also find that each individual massage therapist, and other types of soft tissue workers, will differ in their approach, and so will vary in their effectiveness.

Function will follow form which means if the muscles are tight, imbalanced or set in a particular functional pattern, that’s how your horse will go. To interrupt the set in their ways muscle (and neuromuscular) patterns and help your horse move forward towards a more functional, higher performing ambidexterity, find yourself an effective, experienced massage therapist, preferably one with a solid sport horse background. Even your backyard horse will benefit from it.

Ulcers and Massage

Equine gastric ulcers are fairly common in horses. According to studies, up to 90% of racehorses and up to 60% of other performance horses may develop gastric ulcers at some point in their lives. They can affect any horse at any age.

Hindgut ulcers are less common than gastric ulcers, but have been reported to affect 44 – 63% of horses. It’s possible for a horse to have both gastric and hindgut ulcers at the same time.

Hi everyone! I know I’ve been very inactive, with finishing college and moving, but I am happy to say I am continuing to take clients again. Although now that I have moved I am solely building my client base in Texas.

I am now located in Aubrey, TX! I am so excited to start building new relationships here and continuing my massage work.
