What is Equine Sports Massage?
Think of the Chiropractic Treatment you receive for a sports injury and you have Equine Massage Therapy.
The Equine Sports Massage Therapy developed along with Human Sports Massage Therapy and the two practises are closely related. Both have been practised for many years.
Sports Massage Therapy works for you, it works for your horse.

Your Horse cannot tell you what is wrong, a good Equine Sports Massage Therapist can.
When you suffer a sporting injury you moan and drag yourself off to your sports therapist.
You tell them what is wrong and through the therapists careful massage the affected areas are treated and the healing begins.
When your horse collects a muscle injury they suffer in silence, often you do not notice until you try to ride them again.
There is no need for your horse to be uncomfortable, or in pain. Call Pamela to give your horse - your competition partner - as good a sports massage treatment as you would arrange for yourself.
You are a good rider but when your horse is off colour your horse may fail.
Your Horse deserves the same care and attention as you would give yourself.

The horse lacks suppleness and with regular monthly treatments from Pam we had a successful season culminating in a top placing at Blair."
