Basic stretches are included in the normal treatment package. These Help to just elongate the benefits of the massage and relieve a little extra tension.
There is an option to have more advanced stretches performed on your horse. These target more muscle groups than the basic stretches as well as aiding mobilisation.
By working within the horses own boundaries, these stretches can gradually increase range of motion through the neck, back, hindquarters and limbs.
These stretches, however are not recommended after long periods of rest or lameness until a relatively normal level of fitness has been reached.
To take advantage of these stretches and the
benefits they may bring will cost £5 on top of the
massage treatment cost. However, I will use them
during the first session free of charge.
The release of ‘feel good’ chemicals called endorphins during massage will make your horse feel great all over and very relaxed. |
