Many of us can relate to "hitting the wall" during our workouts.
We can relate to waking up sore and stiff the next morning after a hard day of yard work or over exhorting ourselves.
We also know how, when the stars align just right, a workout that we struggled to do before becomes easier.
Massage helps to increase a horse's endurance.
It relaxes the muscles to relieve tension and stiffness and improve flexibility.
It strengthens muscle and can improve the muscles memory of movement patterns.
Travel and Shows can also bring on stress that massage can reduce.

We will also discuss your training goals and problems areas that you wish to address.

When we massage a muscle for the first time, we intend to improve it, not necessarily "fix it" immediately.
