I am a certified equine sports and rehabilitation massage therapist with over ten years of clinical practice and advanced training in equine biomechanics, anatomy, and rehabilitation. I qualified with Equisage Europe in 2015 and am an <strong data-start=\"490\" data-end=\"524\">FEI Permitted Equine Therapist<\/strong> and a member of the <strong data-start=\"545\" data-end=\"603\">International Association of Animal Massage Therapists<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"606\" data-end=\"967\">I have worked with horses across all disciplines and levels, from leisure horses to elite sport, building a reputation for precise assessment, clear clinical reasoning, and measurable outcomes. My approach is evidence-informed and integrated: massage is never applied in isolation, but as part of a wider understanding of movement, load, pain, and compensation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"969\" data-end=\"1317\">Massage is not a luxury. In the equine athlete, soft-tissue dysfunction directly affects performance, soundness and behaviour. Horses do not verbalise discomfort or pain; they compensate. Over time, compensation leads to secondary overload, reduced range of motion, loss of suppleness and behavioural change. Early, targeted intervention prevents this cascade.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1319\" data-end=\"1342\">EquiMassage focuses on:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1343\" data-end=\"1613\">\n<li data-start=\"1343\" data-end=\"1392\">\n<p data-start=\"1345\" data-end=\"1392\">Optimising muscle function and tissue quality<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1393\" data-end=\"1453\">\n<p data-start=\"1395\" data-end=\"1453\">Supporting recovery, adaptation, and long-term soundness<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1454\" data-end=\"1551\">\n<p data-start=\"1456\" data-end=\"1551\">Identifying contributing factors such as saddle fit, workload, hoof balance, or dental issues<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1552\" data-end=\"1613\">\n<p data-start=\"1554\" data-end=\"1613\">Respecting the horse\u2019s physical <strong data-start=\"1586\" data-end=\"1600\">and mental<\/strong> well-being<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1615\" data-end=\"1734\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">A comfortable horse is a willing, expressive and resilient partner. That is not indulgence. That is good horsemanship.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you still doubt whether massage can help your horse, I will be happy to discuss this with you by phone <strong>07445033347<\/strong>,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>or you can email me at KudinaESMT@gmail.com.
