A pressure point technique used to help release muscle spasm and tension; therefore allowing your horse or pony freedom of movement and release from pain. It is a hands-on technique combining massage with myofacial release and stretching. It is a non-invasive yet effective deep tissue massage and can improve sports performance, general comfort and well-being.
Bucking, rearing, avoidance of the bit, inability to work in an outline; all may be influenced by muscle tension. Although other sources must be ruled out as well.
Behavioural issues may well be a sign of muscle tension and spasm preventing the horse or pony from moving correctly.
