Senior & Rescue Massage

Senior Massage is for that special older horse in your life that is transitioning into a different style of life. As horses live longer it is our job to help maintain there health and vitality.  When an older horse transitions out of work or into less strenuous work it is common that there musculoskeletal system starts to weaken.  Massage will help them maintain muscles, increase blood and lymphatic circulation, re-balance energy, increase flexibility and range of motion, help with pain management, support immune system, increases metabolism which will help improve digestion.  It can also help that crankier horse that may be sore to touch or not enjoy being touched from injuries or sores, it will allow them to enjoy the act of being touched again. In addition to having endless physical benefits it provides an even greater emotional release for a senior horse.  It provides them with the ability to release stress and anxiety of transitioning in their career, and provides them with a better quality of life.  When your senior can have a piece of mind they can live their days happy and and at ease and that is one of primary goals of the senior massage.  Senior massage sessions are not as deep or as long as the sports and therapeutic massage. Senior massage style is also great for a newly rescued horse that has a lot of physical and emotional damage.
