What is Equine Sports Massage and how does ESM Therapy Work?
Equine Sports Massage, or ESM, is the therapeutic application of professional massage techniques developed and used by human athletes, but applied to horses. From a horse’s perspective, imagine being sore and not being able to reach the pain. Rigorous training, stall confinement, eventing and transporting all cause stress to horses.
ESM is a non-invasive, hands-on technique to reduce tension, stress and muscle fatigue, the main causes of muscular problems. ESM increases circulation and diminishes muscle spasms, which reduces the risk of injuries from repetitive training and rigorous competition, pleasure riding, breeding, transporting, and growing. ESM can even help long-standing injuries, and prevent future injuries from hindering your horse’s career and well being. ESM has proven its ability to increase equine athletic performance up to 20%, giving both horse and rider the competitive edge by competing at full potential. This also allows the animal’s body to maintain a healthy state of balance, adding to the life and value of the horse. ESM benefits all breeds at any age.
