Did you know Equine Massage Therapy stimulates the digestive system❓

Equine Massage can assist the efficiency of muscular reflex actions within the digestive system providing enhanced nutritional uptake ✔️

Certain massage techniques can increase the metabolism of nutrients and antioxidants through the release of enzymes ✔️

When metabolizing faster, the body is more able to flush out toxins, allowing for digestion to work at its maximum potential ✔️

Many of our horses are spending prolonged periods of time in their stables or confined to small turnout areas at the moment due to the unusually wet weather we have been having ☔️

Lack of movement can be detrimental to the horse’s digestive system which requires movement to assist in it’s function 👎🏻

This can lead to minor changes in the horse’s condition (due to the change in the body’s metabolic rate) but also to major conditions we all dread such as impaction colic due to slowing of the motility of the gut 👎🏻

Regular Massage treatments for your horse are a great addition to other digestive enhancers such as:

▪️ Maximising turnout
▪️ Providing plenty of exercise
▪️ Feeding good quality forage
▪️ Preventing periods of fasting
▪️ Reducing concentrates
▪️ Introducing pre/probiotics
