Acupressure
Acupressure is a specific type of massage that relieves tightness in muscle groups by applying pressure to the 26 stress points on each side of the horses body.
These stress points are where ligaments and tendons come together in a muscle group.
The stress points and muscle groups usually tend to become tight and shut down. Due to nerve irritation, stress, fatigue or injury.
When this happens the muscle group does not get the oxygen it should and then it is very susceptible to minor or major rips and tears.
Acupressure goes hand in hand with massage and chiropractic.
