Acupressure works with specific pressure points and is the NO NEEDLE way of acupuncture. The same principles as in humans are used when acupressure is used for horses.

One of the main advantages of acupressure for horses is that it can help to treat pain as well as lameness. It has been found that by using acupressure on a horse with an injured limb, the pain is relieved and the healing time is accelerated. This keeps horses from having to go through a long and painful recovery.

Studies have shown that when a horse is dealing with a painful trauma and recovery may take quite some time, acupuncture can help. It works as a natural pain reliever because it helps to stimulate the production of the hormones called enkephlines and metenkephlines, which are analgesic. The other great benefit is that it also works as an anti-inflammatory so that it can help to reduce swelling in the area of trauma.

It has also been found that by using acupressure on high strung horses, it can help to calm them and even out their emotions. If you have a horse that has been having trouble with his gait or your horse has had an injury, you should talk with Susanne - S.N.H.S. diploma in acupressure - to see if acupressure is an option for you and your horse.
