Deep muscle massage therapy for horses  

It is impossible to adequately describe Ray Bové's deep muscle massage therapies,  manipulations and overall approach to the relief of equine stress.

And Ray can't even begin to describe what he does to build a horse's confidence by removing the pain which has such detrimental effect on the animal's performance.

"I suppose I've always had a certain knack. Horses simply trust me and I can use that trust to their benefit."

After Raymond Bové augmented his innate horse handling skills with studies in equine anatomy, physiology, and deep muscle therapies, he gradually found himself in increasing demand as an equine therapist who got results.

 It became clear to Ray's clients that there was always an improvement in both the physical and mental condition of their horses after Ray's treatments and this usually had the additional benefit of better results in competition.

Ray has now treated over 800 horses but in his own words, "I never stop learning. Hardly a week goes by without me achieving some major new insight into how I can improve my success rate or get the same results faster.

Muscles shorten under pressure and this has the effect of putting more force on tendons and ligaments. A typical muscular problem involves inability or reluctance to flex the neck. Another problem one often sees is tension in the neck muscles and their attachment to the skull. This adversely effects movement of the forelegs and shoulders.  Both of these conditions have a detrimental effect on blood circulation.

A horse in training or competition has enormous scope for soreness, injury or muscular stress. Ray Bove has special skills for finding and fixing these problems at source.

When Raymond Bové treats a horse he deals primarily with muscular, skeletal and nervous systems. Furthermore, any successful release or relief of stress or injury will automatically improve blood circulation. This can enhance the operation of other areas such as the digestive and immune systems.

Many a horse will present with a sore back. However the animal will often be locked up in the girth or between the ribs, or have a back end problem. Ray is an expert at such diagnosis and with subsequent treatment by deep tissue remedial massage.

When asked to summarize his techniques Ray simply says, "well, equine deep muscle therapy is a fantastic remedial treatment for horses. The animals seem to love it and it also gives me the results my clients demand."
