Product Description
A long-awaited update of the classic equine massage reference
Fully revised and updated, this new edition provides step-by-step instructions and more than 180 photographs and diagrams to help riders and professionals alike master equine massage techniques. This authoritative guide provides detailed information about massage movements, pressures, rhythms, and sequences. It includes:
* An introduction to equine anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology
* Practical information on stretching and hydrotherapy
* Four new chapters covering equine myofascial massage, Equine TMJ (temporomandibular joint) Dysfunction Syndrome, Equine Muscular Compensation Phenomenon, and saddle fitting
* A conformation check-up routine
* Information about areas of stress specific to each discipline and different massage techniques and routines for different situations
* A handy comb-bound format that lays flat for convenient use in the stable
Equine massage enhances the performance and quality of life of horses by increasing flexibility, reducing stiffness, improving attitude, and shortening recovery time from injury. In addition to its many health benefits, equine massage strengthens the bond between the horse and his owner, trainer, or groom. Using these techniques, you'll learn to "see" with your hands and sense areas that need special attention. Equine Massage, Second Edition is truly a hands-on guide to proven massage techniques that improve a horse's well-being.

Very good book for study March 26, 2009

I purchased this book to 'assist' me in my studies to become an Equine Massage Therapist. Turns out, I was scammed by the school I enrolled in! They were using this book as thier own curriculum! I now use this book solely and have learned more from it than I have any other sources!
Fantastic book, excellent information December 12, 2008

"Equine Massage" gives very clear information and according to the person who was gifted with this book, is exactly what she needed to continue her work with horses. Three people recommended this book and they were right about it's value. Excellent!

This is a very informative book, detailed in every way. The only problem is understanding the parts being I am a layman. But with much study I believe this book will help me recognize and determine the proper procedure to take to better comfort my mare.
Must Have Book! December 29, 2007
