Welcome to the Sue Simmons Equine Sports Massage Therapy Website

Equine Sports Massage Therapy is the application of professional sports massage techniques applied to the horse. A thorough understanding of anatomy and the interaction of bones, joints and muscles are the basis of the proven physical and mental therapy that is the art of massage.

More than 60% of the horse's body weight is muscle and muscular problems can be a frustrating source of a variety of motion problems and training set-backs.

Small muscle injuries can take up to 90 days to become apparent (by a change in attitude, decreased performance and lameness) by which time they may have caused more serious injury. Prompt attention to these 'minor' muscle injuries not only enhances a horse's performance but also may prevent future problems.
