Acupressure

Acupressure

Acupressure. This involves the application of controlled pressure to areas of increased tone (trigger points) within the muscle belly. This sustained pressure results in a moment of ischemia so that a resurgence of local blood flow will occur upon release, increasing the efficiency of nutritional transportation and cell modulation. Horses tolerate acupressure very well and this may be the treatment of choice for nervous or anxious horses.
