How often is massage needed to be effective?
-That depends on several factors. Your horse's current physical condition, the frequency and intensity of his work, etc. Horses with a strenuous training or competition schedule often do well with weekly massage sessions whereas those with a less strenuous schedules benefit from appts. every 4-6 weeks.
Veterinarians will often recommend massage therapy two or three times a week for horses who are recovering from surgery, laid up with acute injuries, laminitis, etc. Generally that schedule lasts for the first 4-6 weeks and is adjusted as rehabilitation progresses.
Regular massage therapy can alert you to any physical discomfort your horse may be feeling prior to showing
overt signs of lameness. In those cases, it allows you and your veterinarian to get a head start on preventative measures before more serious injuries occur. It can also alert you to discomfort caused by poor saddle fit, improper training methods, hoof imbalance, dental issues etc.
