Equine Sports Therapy - FAQs
How long does a session last? Anywhere between one and two hours. I charge by the session not the minute.
How many sessions are needed? Depending on the type and severity of the problem, 2 – 3 sessions may be required. Regular checkups once or twice a year can prevent minor injuries from becoming major problems and can help maintain performance
When will I notice the difference? Sometimes there is an immediate notable improvement. Sometimes it takes a few sessions. Unless there is a direct trauma or accident, most soft tissue issues are accumulative. They didn't happen overnight and they can take some time to improve.
How long do I have to wait until I can ride my horse after a session? Healthy sound horses can be ridden after a session. It is best to keep it nice and easy. Large figures or hacking are best immediately after. If you don't have time to ride, you need to hand walk within a few hours after a session.
My horse is off. Can I have a look at him without veterinarian approval? No, your vet needs to clear your horse for massage. Sometimes your vet is in the process of testing your horse's response to a drug or therapy. Outside influences could alter the findings. It is always important that your vet rules out any underlying pathologies and disease.
