Sports massage is a deep tissue healing massage. It released tight muscles, allowing them to bend and flex to their full range of motion again. Muscles damage can happen from poor saddle fit, working without p
roper warm up, training aids that don't allow release, caring more weight then they should, pulling heaving loads, or any type of injury even if muscles where not visibly damaged. Did you know that 60% of a horse's body weight is muscle? That's a lot! And did you also know that muscles don't show up on X-rays? So if there is something wrong with a muscle it won't show up on an X-ray. Sports massage can help with:
Pulling shoes
