What are the techniques that will be used?

In Horses

The techniques used will be dependent on several factors including the nature of the problem and the age of the horse.

As an example, massage may be used to help a horse who is competing to help suppleness and it may also help to prevent muscular injury.

Articulation is used with many horses in both the spine and limbs to aid joint mobility.

Stretching techniques are mostly used in the limbs and the neck to allow release of muscle tension.

Manipulation is used to release specific joint restrictions. This is not appropriate for all horses.
