As cooler weather sets in, horses can experience increased muscle stiffness and joint discomfort, much like humans. The cold causes muscles to contract more frequently to conserve heat, leading to tension and reduced flexibility. This can make horses stiffer during exercise or turnout, increasing the risk of strain or injury if not properly managed. Cold temperatures also aggravate joint issues, especially in older horses, making it harder for them to move freely.
Deep Tissue, Acupressure, and Myofascial Release treatments play an important role during this seasonal transition by promoting circulation, easing muscle tension, and supporting joint health. Regular sessions help horses warm up more efficiently before exercise, recover faster afterward, and maintain overall comfort despite the colder conditions, keeping their muscles and joints flexible and healthy.
