Review & Description

Mary A. Schreiber, a (Human) Massage Therapist, became interested in using massage on animals, and specifically horses, as a result of the outstanding benefits she saw on human clients. She began to witness first hand the effectiveness of the therapy on her own horses. The results were remarkable. Horses that hadn't finished in the money in over a year were starting to win, and horses who had been given up on were back working and racing competitively. At the same time, she also began working on show horses at many of the shows at which she was competing. The results were the same...horses were performing better than they had in years, and muscle injuries were healing faster than owners and trainers believed possible. At the same time, people were beginning to understand that if these alternative therapies could help them, they would probably work as well on their pets and the other animals in their care. There began to be a significant move toward the use of these alternative therapies on both companion animals and horses involved in racing and show events. Chief among these therapies in actual therapeutic value and cost effectiveness has been massage. Among the many documented benefits of massage are: Enhances muscle tone and range of motion. Reduces inflammation and swelling in the joints, thereby alleviating pain. Promotes the healing process by increasing the flow of nutrients to the muscles, and aiding in carrying away excessive fluids and toxins. Creates a positive effect on the contractual and release process of the muscles...releasing tension...relaxing muscles. Stimulates circulation by: defrosting frozen muscles, thereby releasing endorphins - the body's natural pain killers. Helps to maintain the whole body in better physical condition.
