Contraindications to Massage

There may be times when massage therapy is not appropriate for your horse due to underlying issues. I will detail some of the conditions or times below.

I will undertake a full subjective assessment with my inital appointment (tel). Within this I will ask numerous health questions prior to arranging a booking. I will also check there in no changes to that information on the day of the treatment. This will be prior to administering any treatments. If necessary Veterinarian permission will need to be obtained.
