What is Equine Sports Massage?

9/1/2018

Equine Sports Massage is a form of massage therapy that focuses on equine athletes, allowing them to perform optimally and reduce the chance of injury by maximizing range of motion and decreasing muscular restrictions. Horse athletes are often times asked to perform maneuvers that can cause repetitive stress injuries. Like human athletes, they can benefit from maintenance bodywork as well as recovery treatments.

What is the Equine Myo-manipulative Functional Therapy Certification?

Myo-manipulative Functional Therapy literally means making changes in the muscles to achieve proper function. This is a form of sports massage that rather than just focusing on the massage techniques, it also addresses physical therapies and exercises and can further improve the horse's function and ability to perform at an optimal level. Practitioners who complete our certification course receive the prestigious title of Equine Myo-manipulative Functional Therapist (EMFT).

Hello,

I was curious about the video submissions. Are we doing these videos on our phones and submitting them to you or how does it work?

Thank you for your time,

Hi Misty,

Yes you can either record the videos with your phone or a camera. Since the files are usually too big to email, I recommend uploading them to youtube or dropbox and sending the links. If you have any other questions, I can be reached directly at dr.angeliquebarbara@gmail.com
