As horse owners, we expect a lot from our animals. Soft tissue therapy benefits all horses from elite level competition horses to happy hackers. Horses are unable to tell us if they are experiencing tightness through their shoulders, or they have a bit of a tight back, instead they demonstrate this through dysfunctional movement patterns and behavioural change.

Providing your veterinarian has cleared any other causes for these changes, manual therapy can provide your horse with increased mobility and improved comfort. This can show in performance for example of striking off on the correct canter lead or increased race times and recovery.

Services offered include soft tissue therapy, Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization and use of an Equilibrium massage pad (also available for rental). We can also work as part of a rehabilitation team with Veterinarians, Vet Physios, farriers and Equine Chiropractors to help recover post injury.  

Get in touch today to discuss your horses’ needs and see if we can help. Here at LJP Sports and Equine Therapies, we offer one off treatments, regular maintenance massage, or we can put together tailor made packages to work with horse and rider.
