CAN SPORTS
MASSAGE HELP MY
HORSE WITH EPSM?
Yes. I massage several horses that have been diagnosed
with EPSM (Equine Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy) and
they have shown a marked improvement in reducing their
muscle soreness and their overall performance.
Sports massage therapy can help with the muscle atrophy and
gait abnormalities often associated with horses who suffer
from EPSM.
It is important to have a veterinarian diagnose your horse so
that this disease can be properly managed. Sports massage
therapy can be a helpful addition to the special diet and
regular exercise and turnout these horses require.
