Equine BODY WORK SERVICES
VL Optimal Equine Performance provide Deep Tissue, Acupressure, and Myofascial Release treatment modalities across common areas of soreness which reduces muscle pain and tension by manually applying pressure to “trigger points” in muscles that will increase circulation, remove toxins and lactic acid.
Manual Therapy
All muscles need to be strong, but pliable for optimal performance. However, If they are strong and inflexible, this can cause discomfort, shortened stride, poor gait quality and an unhappy horse prone to injury.
Acupressure
Acupressure points are similar to the acupuncture points that are located along a meridian.
By stimulating acupressure points, improved energy and balance can be restored to corresponding internal organs.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release reduces tension in the fascia, which is a clear, gelatinous form of connective tissue that envelops and supports all muscles, bones, organs, nerves, blood vessels, tendons and ligaments.
Deep Tissue
Deep Tissue begins with manual acupressure beginning light and as the muscle relaxes, deep massage treatment can begin until the tight band or muscle or knot is released.
