F.J Equine Services

Description:

Every massage starts with initial palpations over the whole body. This is done to examine each area of the body. Once the initial examination has been completed strokes such as effleurage, compressions, cross fibre friction and percussion are used to treat each area.

Equine sports massage can have many benefits including:

  • Loosen tight muscles, stretching the connective tissue.
  • Relief from muscle cramps and spasms.
  • Decreases muscle fatigue.
  • Loosen joints and improves range of motion.
  • Increases muscle strength.
  • Calms the nervous system.
  • Speeds up healing from injury or illness.
  • Stimulates circulation.
  • And there are many more benefits.
