CAN SPORTS MASSAGE
THERAPY HELP MY
HORSE WITH EPM?
THERAPY HELP MY
HORSE WITH EPM?
Yes. Sports massage therapy can help alleviate some of
the muscular symptoms of EPM (Equine Protozoal
Myeloencephalitis). By keeping the muscles loose and
increasing blood flow and oxygen to the muscle tissue,
massage can help with the muscle problems often
associated with EPM.
It is important to get a diagnosis from a veterinarian of
EPM, as there are other illnesses and conditions that are
similar in their symptoms. Proper veterinary treatment is
necessary, with sports massage therapy used as an
adjunct to speed recovery and make your horse more
comfortable.
