SOME QUESTIONS ANSWERED
HOW LONG WILL THE MASSAGE SESSIONS LAST?
If its a first appointment, I like to see your horse move in all gaits & ridden if possible. Your horses history, movement and conformation will be noted before any hands on massage to ensure an individual therapy package is delivered unique to your horse or pony. Please allow 1.5 to 2 hours for this.
A routine session 1 to 1.5 hours.
A pamper session 30 to 40 minutes.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A MASSAGE THERAPY SESSION?
Once assessments are complete and depending on the massage therapy service you require, I will start hands on massage using a variety of techniques to ease tension, soreness and create a relaxing experience for your equine. I will also if required use the massage tools to create the perfect compliment to the session.
If Pre-Event massage techniques to loose and warm the muscles are used to ensure your horse is competition ready and Post-Event is massage to provide a warm down, easing muscle soreness, stiffness and fatigue, removing toxins and cools after competition.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER MY HORSES MASSAGE THERAPY SESSIONS?
I will recommend and or apply stretching techniques specifically to your horses requirements. A written report will be sent to you either via email or post. I will also recommend exercises you can continue and advise on a treatment plan which would suit your equine.
Vets will be informed of the therapy session as required through rehabilitation and/or injury following the veterinary surgeons Act 1966.
DO I NEED VET PERMISSION?
No, if your horse is in good health not showing signs of undiagnosed lameness or illness.
Yes, If they are currently being treated by your vet, have cushings disease, during pregnacy or any other contraindictions to massage therapy.Â
As I have a duty of care I usually contact the registered vet before and after any sessions if needed.
WHAT AREA DO YOU COVER?
I cover the midlands so Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Warwickshire. My prices include travel within a 25 mile radius of LE67 after this there is a 50p per mile charge.
However if multiple horses are booked and you are outside the 25 mile radius the extra is only charged the once not per client.
HOW DO I PAY FOR THE SESSION?
Ideally I prefer payment the day before via BACS or Paypal but CASH is perfectly fine on the day.
I will give details of this when booking your horse or pony in.
HOW DO I BOOK A MASSAGE THERAPY SESSION?
You can simply call or message me direct.
