AFTERCARE
​
-
Ensure lots of drinking water is readily available to aid toxins to be flushed
​
-
Allowing 72 hours for muscles to settle is preferable before being ridden, however it is still possible to ride immediately after unless it is the horse's first massage as they can be a little sore straight after
​
-
Turnout is also preferable to allow circulation to aid removal of toxins released after treatment
​
-
Stretches are recommended and shown after treatment to help aid and maintain suppleness and flexibility
