Jude Furniss is a local Equine Sports Massage therapist who qualified with Distinction in June 2010. Equine Sports Massage is the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, applied to the horse in a professional technique modified from Swedish Sport Massage Techniques. Jude hand massages the horses from nose to tail, working each horse as an individual dependant on their needs. Jude says, “…by using my hands I can identify and focus on a particular area where massage is most essential for that individual horse. This means that each horse has a massage which focuses on their own individual tightness, weakness, and requirements.”
Equine Sports Massage is essential for improving the athlete horse’s ability – no human athlete would be without massage as part of their training regime – so why treat your competing athlete differently. That said, horses not in competition will also benefit from massage, as there are never-ending benefits of massage including – increased recovery from injury, by identifying possible issues, by increasing general range of movement, and by simply relaxing and improving well-being and state of mind.
Jude says, “I love massaging each horse because you can see and feel how much they enjoy and love it themselves! Additionally I gain great satisfaction from watching how the massage can improve a horse’s flexibility, range of movement and performance level. Whether a happy-hacker or in competition, I want to able to work with as many horses as I physically can to help each horse to reach their potential.”
