A Somebody to Everybody Posts: 41354 Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas	Chiro work, I have a great chriopractic for my horses when I need him and once he gets them done I hardly have any issues afterwards. Butch is number one in my books. Edit to add, I dont get a farm charge.. Edited by Southtxponygirl 2018-04-20 10:15 AM

The adjustment is not going to last long until the muscle is relaxed and allows the bones to fall back into position.

When we had a massage therapist scheduled for every 6 weeks we had very few issues.

Elite Veteran Posts: 898 Location: Mountains of VA	I would choose walking trail rides over any expensive "therepy". Through the years, walking has helped my horses more than anything. All the vets and others I have worked with, all said do more walking.

Married to a Louie Lover Posts: 3303	Chiro if needed. I’ve gotten some of the masterson method DVD’s and want to get some of the other material to learn more for massage - I’ve felt it’s very helpful, but been able to pick up quite a bit of technique on my own. I’ve also found it to be great bonding time with a horse.

Seems chiro is the go-to because that's all they have. My other favorite would be the Myo-fascial release (Animal Krackers) methods.
