Lazy Circles

For owners and trainers of animals showing signs of discomfort or pain, it's important to note that there are no "spot treatments" addressing isolated muscles or areas which seem to be "the" problem. This is because a spot which seems to be "the" problem is often just the terminating point for the source of the muscular imbalance. Your animal's unusual behavior, posture or movement may be the result of a problem which can't be identified by simply looking at the animal, and treating only certain areas of your horse's or dog's body will create even more imbalances in other parts of the musculoskeletal system. Every session treats your horse or dog from head to toe, so positive results begin right away.

Equine/canine sports massage therapy is not a replacement for veterinary care, it is a complementary supplement to it.
