Massage and heat are two simple ways in which we can help support healthy muscle function in our horse. Massage Performance depends on freedom of movement, full flexibility and an absence of musculoskeletal pain, all of which can be improved using massage (Gellman, 1998). These factors also contribute towards keeping your horse comfortable and happy in general too! Benefits of Massage include: • Helps maintain healthy blood and lymph circulation • Soothes tired muscles • Supports recovery after exercise • Promotes relaxation Heat Using heat is a great way to help sensitive horses who may find massage too much. Heat is non-invasive, gentle and well accepted with many associated benefits. Research suggests that tissue temperature needs to increase by at least 3 to 5°C from the resting temperature (Bockstahler et al, 2004). However using something that is too hot could cause discomfort and even damage to the tissue. Did you know? The NEW Massage Mitt Hotspot has been tested to increase skin temperature by 8.7°C on average?.
