Any one use this for their horses? What are your opinions? Is it more benefical than a physio or are they at completly different ends of the spectrum??
sports massage is for onging muscle promotion/maintenance, to ease areas of muscle spasm which might build up during training etc, and so on. it can help with overall wellbeing and the horse's way of going, and to promote and maintain correct muscle building. it is primarily based on muscular alterations. Physio in my understanding is more hardcore! and would more usually be used when proper issues occur. it takes into account the muscular and skeletal issues and so on as well. you have to do a lot mroe training to be a physio than abn equine sports massage therapist (i think!). hope that helps!
