As an equine professional, this may be a hot take but it needs to be said since part of my job is to educate and advocate for you and your animals wellness goals.
If your horse gets chiropractic work done, your horse also needs bodywork done …. meaning literal ✨hands-on✨ massage therapy.
To start, this post is not stating one service is better than the other. I adore and highly recommend other professionals such as my chiropractors. This is an educational post informing equine enthusiasts that your horse most likely needs both to obtain those optimal results that you are looking for.
Chiropractic adjustments help restore alignment and mobility, but without proper musculoskeletal support, misalignments can easily reoccur. Deep tissue massage and myofascial release helps loosen the soft tissue around your horses skeletal frame, along with helping maintain the adjustments your chiropractor has provided. This ultimately helps by reducing tension, improving blood circulation, and supporting balanced movements.
By keeping muscles and fascia healthy, you’re giving your horse’s body the best chance to hold adjustments longer and perform better between visits. These important services simply compliment one another by providing equal goals for your horses capabilities, comfort and well-being.
