Massage helps improve flexibility and reduce stiffness by improving blood supply to the muscles, this was found in our Massage Pad clinical trials which had massage applied to their backs via the pad and horses that used the pad showed a significant improvement in back flexibility. The heart rate is also reduced throughout the massage which promotes relaxation. Tension is often one of the most common reasons for poor performance and by increasing relaxation and improving back flexibility; the negative effects of tension can be reduced. Relaxed muscles can help assist flexibility and movement in particular for competition horses performing dressage movements and jumping technical fences.
