Equine Myofunctional Therapy    EMT is a whole body massage. It is only recently that the western world has come to understand the benefits of hands on therapies for horses. Sports massage is a well recognised therapy for humans. Muscles constantly move in order to keep the horse in a state of equilibrium, the constant play of muscles working together can create stresses and strains. Any level of horse can benefit - whether a competition or leisure horse. Equine Myofunctional Therapy has considerable benefits, including: • Improve circulation • Relax tight muscles • Aid digestion • Stimulate the lymphatic system • Eliminate lactic acid build up. Using their hands members of the EMTA use techniques for which they have had professional training, based on a thorough grounding in anatomy and physiology.
