Yes!!!!! Mine has regluay one to keep on top of it all. It's have open my eyes up to what other back people say. Mine's got shivers and was progess sp? getting worse to shoe pulling leg away etc was close on stopping shoeing behide then my old saddler recom me her massage person and im so glad I went with her. He was very sore over the hip I cant rem the extracy muscle name and he would of lifted his leg up shaking when any presure put onto it. Lot's more was found due to saddle problems etc. Now two year's on he looking fab and starting to use himself better. The farrier is so much happy now as he doesnt get pulld around.

Yep all of mine have someone who does this alongside mctimoney treatment. Works really well on my girls and always helps my issue healthwise mare, she oftens picks up on things the vet doesnt notice as she only sees her every 3 months whilst vet is a weekly visiter so useful and have had my youngster looked at not for treatment but to get her used to it really.

I have only just started using an equine sports therapist.

My horse suddenly stopped being able to canter on the right rein. My instructor recommended using her lady.

She came out and found a sore spot with very tight muscled along the RH side of his back. His shoulders were also very sore. She massaged them out and told me to call her again in a week.

His striding was much better now that his shoulders were feeling better and we could get get more of a canter although not the correct lead everytime.

The therapist came back after another week to check and see how things were feeling. The sore shoulders had not come back, and the sore part on his back was still there but not as bad. She gave him another massage and told me to call in 2 weeks to see how his is.

This was a couple of days ago...so fingers crossed he feels good this evening!

Soooo....in answer to your question, yes I would recommend using one!
