Sports Massage
Prevention Program
This program is designed to
keep the horse’s entire body in better
physical condition.
Any program you design will have several variables: The amount of time
the condition has existed (chronic or acute); the age of the horse; and
the work load of the horse.
The four plans we recommend are:
- I. PLAN A
This Plan is recommended for horses at very high levels of competition.
Week 1 – Three Massages
Week 2 – Two Massages
Week 3 - One Massage
Thereafter – One Massage Every Week
- II. PLAN B
This Plan is recommend for horses that compete on a regular basis.
Plan B recommends One Massage every Two Weeks.
- III. PLAN C
This Plan is recommend for horses that compete occasionally.
Plan C recommends One Massage every Two Weeks for Six Weeks, then as
needed.
- IV. PLAN D
This Plan is recommended for horses that are used for pleasure riding
or very light completion.
Plan D recommends massages as needed.
