Disclaimer

Gold Buckle Equine Performance and Massage does not diagnose medical conditions. Our role is to observe and treat muscle and performance issues as they present themselves, working in collaboration with veterinarians and other equine health professionals. While massage therapy can assist with injuries diagnosed by a vet and support overall equine health, it should not be considered a substitute for professional veterinary care. We encourage regular consultations with your veterinarian to ensure the best care for your horse.

What is Equine Massage Therapy?

What is Equine Kinesiology?

Equine kinesiology focuses on improving muscular function and overall health using specialized kinesiology tape. This tape supports muscles, tendons, and ligaments, enhancing movement and speeding up recovery

How Kinesiology Tape Works?

Kinesiology tape lifts the skin slightly, creating space for better blood flow and lymphatic drainage, which reduces inflammation and promotes healing. The tape’s elasticity mimics the skin’s properties, allowing for natural movement while providing support.

Applications of Equine Kinesiology

Kinesiology is used for:

Pre-Exercise Support

Enhances performance by warming up muscles and increasing blood flow

Post-Exercise Recovery

Reduces muscle fatigue and promotes faster healing.

Chronic Condition Management

Provides ongoing support and pain relief for conditions like arthritis.

Understanding Cryotherapy for Horses

Cryotherapy involves the application of extreme cold to specific areas of the horse’s body using CO2 gas, which rapidly reduces the skin surface temperature. This triggers physiological responses that aid in pain relief, injury recovery, and overall well-being
