Sports Massage Therapy
A Massage for My Horse/Hound?

SO much more than a massage!
Becoming increasingly popular among trainers and owners for its numerous benefits in enhancing performance and aiding in injury prevention and recovery. Sports Massage Therapy, also known as sports-specific massage, is a specialized form of massage that targets the muscles and soft tissues specifically involved in athletic activities. This therapeutic approach incorporates various techniques, such as deep tissue massage, stretching, and joint mobilization, tailored to the unique needs of your active or competitive horses & hounds.
One of the primary goals of sports massage therapy is to improve circulation and increase blood flow to the muscles. By doing so, this technique allows for the efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients while removing waste products, such as lactic acid, which can build up during intense physical exertion. This enhanced circulation aids in reducing muscle soreness and fatigue, allowing athletes to recover faster between training sessions and competitions.
Furthermore, sports massage therapy plays a vital role in injury prevention. Regular sessions can help to identify and address potential muscle imbalances or areas of weakness in an athlete's body. By targeting these areas and promoting proper alignment, sports massage therapy can significantly reduce the risk of strain, sprain, or overuse injuries. It also helps to enhance flexibility and range of motion, allowing athletes to move more freely, thereby reducing the chances of sudden injuries.

Unlock Natural Healing with Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy! We are excited to introduce you to the wonders of PEMF therapy. Designed to mimic the natural electromagnetic frequencies found in your body, this non-invasive therapy has proven to be a game-changer for both humans and animals alike. PEMF involves the use of low-frequency electromagnetic waves to stimulate cellular activity and promote natural healing processes. By exposing the body to these pulsed electromagnetic fields, it may help to increase circulation, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain.
This technique has shown promise specifically in improving the overall well-being and performance of horses and canines. With its ability to penetrate deep into tissues, PEMF treatment is believed to accelerate tissue repair, enhance muscle and bone regeneration, and even improve joint mobility. As a result, it has become a sought-after therapy in veterinary practices and rehabilitation centers for the treatment of various conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, arthritis, and chronic pain. With ongoing research and advancements in PEMF technology, its potential applications in veterinary medicine continue to expand, offering new opportunities for enhancing the health and happiness of our beloved animal companions.

Equine and canine osteopathy is an increasingly popular holistic approach to healthcare, aimed at restoring balance and optimizing the overall well-being of horses. As graceful athletes, horses can be exposed to various musculoskeletal issues and imbalances due to their demanding physical activities. Osteopathy focuses on identifying and treating the root cause of these issues rather than merely addressing the symptoms.
Osteopaths use their hands to assess and gently manipulate the body, promoting natural healing processes and alleviating pain. By releasing tension, improving joint mobility, and enhancing blood flow, osteopathy effectively supports the horse's and hound’s optimal performance, enhances their range of motion, and ultimately helps to achieve a harmonious equilibrium between body, and mind. Whether it is a competitive athlete or a beloved companion, osteopathy offers a non-invasive and gentle approach to enhance and maintain the overall health and well-being of these magnificent creatures.
At Horses & Hounds, we pride ourselves on offering top-notch osteopathic care in a nurturing and compassionate environment. As skilled professionals, we are dedicated to helping you achieve your animal’s health goals by providing comprehensive and personalized treatment plans. We believe in promoting wellness not only through our hands-on therapy but also by empowering you with the knowledge and tools to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
