How does a fascia massage work?

Slow, pushing roll or pressure massage stimulates tissue to exchange or refill fluids like a sponge. The aim is to be able to push or shift tissue without resistance and painless mobility.

The tissues' metabolism is stimulated resulting in a better nutrition and removal of metabolic waste.

Blood circulation is improved and with it the oxygen supply. By and by the horse owner develops a feeling for the area in which a fascia treatment is needed. This can also be deduced from the horse´s reactions. In the end it is always the patient, in this case the horse or dog which should decide on the intensity of the pressure that is applied.
