Equissage Massage Therapy

Equissage is the most versatile, safest, surest and easiest way to help our horses achieve ‘Peak Form’ and speed up healing of most common ailments.

This form of treatment is non-aggressive and free from side effects. The Equissage pad gives a deep cycloidal massage to the whole horse. Due to the unique action of the therapy, the pad actively improves circulation, eases and tones muscles and promotes lymphatic drainage, perfect for pre-event conditioning and after event stiffness.

 

 

I use the Equissage Hand Unit in conjunction with my Shiatsu knowledge, achieving more profound results.

“One of my horses had a back problem for many years, but now after regular use of the Equissage the problem has disappeared. Last week I also bought the hand unit and boot. Both my Vet and I are seriously impressed"
Helena Persson (Swedish National Champion 2001)

What to expect from a Equissage treatment

A normal treatment takes 45minutes – 1 hour. It can be in his stable, outside or elsewhere, depending on where he feels most comfortable.

Equissage Therapy Treatment £25 per horse, 3+ horses £20 each.
Tailor made courses available to suit your requirements.

Horse’s can be ridden straight after the treatment, unlike Shiatsu when you have to wait till the next day. Equissage lasts for 5 hours but continual treatments help long term with common ailments and maintenance of your horse with the stresses and demands that is put on them.
