Merishia Massage is a form of sports massage.
A normal visit will usually follow a similar routine,
as explained below.
Initial assessment: We will look at the horse’s history and current routine. We can also look at the conformation and fit of tack and rugs if it is felt it could be relevant. I will also watch the horse walk and trot to try and see any signs within their movement of where they may be sore.
Massage: The muscles are prepared through gentle strokes, strapping and compression before locating and treating particular stress points or sore points with increasing pressure and stretching of muscles.
Aftercare: I will demonstrate certain techniques or make suggestions which may benefit the recovery and maintenance of your horse.
The first visit will last usually up to 2
hours, and any visit after up to 1 ½ hours.
First treatment cost is £30 with every
subsequent treatment being £20. This
includes any travel costs up to
20 miles
distance
from Tonbridge. After this,
there
will be
a fee of 50p per mile.
Veterinary permission must be sought before any
treatment can be carried out. If any
previously
unknown lameness is noticed, I will
refer
back to
the vet before treatment.
This will incur a travel charge of £5 but no treatment charge.
