HET offers Equine Massage Therapy, Soft Tissue Therapy, Kinesiology Taping, LED Light / Phototherapy (Photizo), Bodywork and Stretching for your Equine.
Massage Therapy is the practice of massage on horses. Beginning in the early 1990s, it has been a growing field of equine therapy, utilized for both day-to-day riding and post-trauma rehabilitation. It promotes good health and enhances performance. It is not only beneficial pre and post competition, it can also reduce the chances of injury and speed up the healing process of injuries. Equine Massage can help to prevent injury to your horse as well as aid recovery.
Also, a massage is a thoroughly enjoyable experience for your horse.
