Can Sports Massage help
my horse that is colicing?
Yes, with gas or spasmodic colic sports massage therapy
increases gut motility, stimulates the production of gastric
fluids and helps the bowels to move. Often during a
massage the horse will pass manure or gas, and even
urinate. This can help alleviate the stomach pain associated
with colic.
ANY TIME YOU THINK YOUR HORSE IS SUFFERING
FROM COLIC YOU SHOULD FIRST CALL A
VETERINARIAN!!!
I can show you some massage strokes you can do on your
horse while you are waiting for the veterinarian to arrive.
Regular massage, along with regular veterinary care, can
help horses that are prone to colic avoid or lessen the extent
of colic episodes.
