Myofunctional Therapy for Equines & Canines
Myofunctional means muscle function or the function of the muscle. Myofunctional therapy is a therapeutic remedial or sports massage for both Equines (EMT) and Canines (CMT). Myofunctional therapy looks at the animal as a whole, using different massage techniques to help encourage the muscle to heal and function correctly.
Remedial massage is great for:
Foals & puppies – growth & development
Seniors – Arthritis or those in palliative care
Dogs & Horses of all disciplines
Injury/Repetitive strain injury management

Myofunctional Therapy is the manipulation of the animal soft tissue in order resolve muscle related issues. All horses and dogs benefit from massage, no matter the age, breed or discipline they are. When your animal sustains an injury, they will naturally compensate by using other muscles. This can affect performance, behavior/mood, and if left untreated can lead to bigger problems and longer recovery time for the animal.
There is no need to wait for a problem to arise before you book your animal in for a Myofunctional Therapy Treatment, in fact it is much better to have a regular maintenance plan in place as this will help to reduce the risk of injury to the muscles.
Prevention is better than the cure.
