1 Wolds Equine Rehabilitation & Training Accredited Equine Sports Massage 2019 Prospectus

2 Equine Sports and Rehabilitation Massage Therapy All horses can benefit from sports and rehabilitation massage. Equine massage therapists employ massage techniques on competition, leisure and companion horses. When muscles are overused or misused, they can become sore or overstretched. The horse may then compensate by improperly using other muscles or tensing up, leading to potential injury, restricted motion, discomfort and decreased performance quality. By promoting muscle relaxation, circulation and healing, we can improve the horses performance, balance and comfort. Study with Wolds Equine Rehabilitation & Training The following four modules you will see in this prospectus, along with the practical training days offered, will guide students through the stages needed to become competent Equine Sports & Rehabilitation Massage Therapists. Upon successful Graduation with Wolds Equine Rehabilitation & Training, Approved Practitioner Certification will be issued.
