With Thermal Imaging, I was able to identify the exact area on this sweet mare’s back. A deep tissue massage was given to the Longissimus dorsi muscle to release tension that had been found. Kinesiology tape was applied at the end of the massage to help her back muscle continue to decompress.

Fascia is the connective tissue found throughout the body. It's connected to muscles, blood vessels, organs, and the nervous system. Fascia is the network that helps create body posture, balance, and movement. It plays such a major role - it's important to keep it healthy. A good way to do this is through regular massage
