How does EMM therapy compare to other therapies?
March 9, 2008
There are a number of different therapies for horses which the layman might refer to as equine massage therapy.
These typically include Bowen Therapy, Trigger Point, Pressure Point or generally equine massage therapy.
It is difficult to compare these therapies as they all have their own merits.
The Equus Muscle Management (EMM) therapy is a natural muscle release therapy which has the advantage that the responses are often quicker, more visible and longer lasting.
You are able to use your animal after treatment with minimal downtime, depending on the injury, and there are no restrictions as to rugging, grooming etc.
How does EMM therapy differ from Bowen Therapy?
- Outside factors such as rugging and grooming will not upset or negate the treatment
- Other muscle therapies can be used with Equus Muscle Management therapy
- EMM therapy doesn’t use standard set procedures.
- EMM uses light pressure at body switch points where required to enable the gentle physical a technique that involves the application of light pressure at particular points and in sequences that enables the gentle physical release of muscle groups.
- Whilst Tom Bowen left a brilliant legacy to muscle therapy, we are extremely fortunate that the founder of the Emmett Technique (upon which Equus Muscle Management therapy is based) is still with us and as a consequence Ross Emmett continues to share his knowledge with us which allows us to continually upgrade our skills and technique.
