As a fully qualified McTimoney Animal Chiropractor and Equine Massage therapist I get asked a lot if Equine Massage Pads really work, and with such a lot on the market how do you know which one to choose? If used correctly there can be significant benefits to equine massage pad use.
How Do Equine Massage Pads Work?
- They increase blood circulation.
- Improve joint mobility and flexibility.
- Decrease warm up time.
- Decrease cool down time.
- Decrease muscle tension.
- Encourages relaxation.
- Relieves stiffness.
Studies have shown that using a massage pad before and after exercising your horse can not only improve stride length and speed, but can speed up warm up and cool down periods leading to a better performance.
As a McTimoney Chiropractor and equine massage therapist I find that clients that use a massage pad regularly on their horses have a reduction in tension, tightness and soreness along their horses back. It’s an excellent way to improve your horse’s muscle tone and increase functionality between visits.
Please note that if you feel your horse has a painful back please book an appointment with me or your vet so a thorough assessment can be carried out.
