Equine Massage & Niagara Equissage
Equine Massage by Michelle Wich
In 1995, Michelle went to an equine massage school in Ohio. She is certified in Optissage. It has been so beneficial to the horses in training. The benefits of massage are both physical and psychological. The goal is to reduce the mental and physical stresses for the horse while in training. For a win-win situation! Their are no charges for massage for training horses in the barn. Massage is used when needed. A extra bonus when having a horse in training. In performance horses, massage enables the horse to compete to its full potential by increasing circulation, removes toxins including lactic acid build-up. Enhance muscle tone, relaxing muscle spasm and increase the range of motion. Massage can help to prevent injury while training.
You can contact Eastwich to set up a Massage appointment for your horse. It is most beneficial to massage the horse in their own environment. I like to work with you and your horse together to teach you how to massage your horse on your own time. Massage is great for bonding with your horse and makes you more aware of how your horse is feeling. Often we feel a tightness or temperature change on a hrose that can alert us to an issue. Massage can help relieve muscle tension and alleviate discomfort, but is not a substitute for veterinary treatment.

Daily use of an Equissage unit can help with the following:
