Equine Shiatsu Treatments

Prior to a Shiatsu session, the horse needs to be dry and free from mud and preferably in a stable during quiet times on the yard i.e the horse should not be expecting to be fed, turned out etc. If the horse is to be exercised before the Shiatsu, two hours should be allowed to enable them to cool down and for the blood vessels and heart rate to return to normal. If hard feed is fed prior to the session, please allow at least 1.5 hours between the feed and the horse receiving Shiatsu. 

It is preferable that the horse is loose in the stable whilst receiving Shiatsu, however if appropriate the horse can be held. If your horses’ needs are different they can be treated in a field or tied up or held on the yard. You will be asked to provide any information that will affect the safety of your practitioner.
The first session usually lasts about 90 minutes and starts with a discussion about the horses’ medical history, current and old injuries, type of work the horse does, their personality and behaviour.  A visual assessment is then made of the horse.  This is followed by a variety of touch techniques to determine disharmonies in the meridians.  Once this has been done Shiatsu can be given.
​
The length of a session will depend very much on the needs of the individual horse but typically lasts around an hour.  

After the Shiatsu, it is recommended the horse has 24 hours without work and is left to relax and absorb the natural healing processes.  There will be a general feeling of well-being and they may feel invigorated yet relaxed.
