"Equine Sports Massage Therapy is the therapeutic application of hands-on massage techniques."

​

At NLEQUINETHERAPY we have taken a more dynamic approach to massage, thinking about the physiological effects as well as the functional aspects of both horse and rider. There are many practical ways of approaching massage such as assessing physical condition, improving performance, flexibility and range of movement (ROM) amongst other things. But we also tap into the psychological side of massage, the relationship between you and your horse, building connections, creating symbiotic relationships through stretches and exercises created on an individual basis. By influencing the autonomic nervous system we can help the body go from a stressed state to a relaxed state and after only a few sessions this will become apparent through certain characteristics such as loosening of the lower jaw (releasing the TMJ nerve), chewing and licking, lowering of head, blinking eyes and yawning amongst other very obvious signs. 

​

Here at  NL Equine Therapy we pride ourselves on creating an individualistic approach with our clients, focussing on both the horse & rider, creating bespoke packages that are tailored specifically to you and your horse(s). We also back this up with our dedicated aftercare service which is included when you choose us. leaving our customers with exercise techniques to implement in between sessions and of course keeping in contact with clients to check on the progress of the horse.
