Our overall aim is to improve the well-being and performance of your horse through soft tissue manipulation by alleviating muscle tension and pain, thereby promoting the physical and mental relaxation of the horse.
ABOUT ELLIS EQUINE PERFORMANCE MASSAGE
The sport of equestrianism is by far one of the hardest, yet rewarding sports for both the professional and the amateur rider. Having been an avid show jumper before taking a 3 year hiatus while I studied at Writtle University College gaining a BSc (Hons) in Equine Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation, I know the importance of a reliable and qualified massage therapist to be trusted as part of an extensive team for your horse.
QUALIFICATIONS
BSC HONS EQUINE SPORTS THERAPY AND REHABILITATION
Having completed my degree at Writtle University College in 2020, I have over the three years studying acquired extensive theoretical and practical knowledge of the horse. By covering diverse topics from equine anatomy and physiology, biomechanics, nutrition, saddle fitting, shoeing, sports medicine and the formulation and implementation of equine rehabilitation programmes, I have gained a comprehensive understanding of the equine athlete and the importance of massage when specifically tailored to the individual.
EQUINENERGY BODYWORKER
The Equinology approach uses a combination of techniques that include sports massage, soft-tissue mobilisation, stretching, activation exercises and focal point work to provide optimal support for your horse. This qualification consisted of a 9 day intensive practical teaching, an additional 300+ hours of independent study and post-course 6 month externship and examination - one of the most intensive and thorough courses of its kind!
FULLY INSURED
I am fully insured and clients are always welcome to inspect the document for their own peace of mind.
TREATMENTS
Prior to my initial visit, you must gain veterinary consent for your horse to be treated for massage under the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966 which legally does not permit me to treat your horse without veterinary consent. Please fill out this form and return by email before your appointment.
Massage has a number of benefits including:
- Reducing tension and adhesions in muscles
- Improving blood circulation
- Increasing lymphatic drainage
- Increasing range of motion
- Aiding pain relief
- Reducing stress and promoting relaxation
INITIAL CONSULTATION
Allow for 1hr30
The initial consultation includes taking a full detailed background of the horse, followed by a static and dynamic evaluation where a handler will be required to walk and trot the horse for me. A complete tailored massage will be devised and implemented which will utilise a variety of soft tissue techniques and stretches. "Homework" may be given to ensure the horse can continue making improvements after the session.
£40
MAINTENANCE MASSAGE

Follow up maintenance massages can be booked following an initial consultation. Massage can be used prior to a competition event, providing the horse has been treated by myself before, after an event or on a regular basis. The duration between sessions are entirely dependent on how your horse feels taking into account workload, competition schedule and their way of going.
