Deltoid & Triceps
EQUINE MASSAGE IN ACTION:
LIGHT COMPRESSION & FRICTION STROKES
Be sure to notice the realeases this horse gives by licking, chewing and yawning :)
Friction Stroke
– This technique involves small, circular movements that generate heat in the tissues, helping to break up adhesions, increase circulation, and improve flexibility. It’s great for loosening tight muscles and promoting recovery in hardworking horses. Friction is the movement that breaks down adhesions and scar tissue over muscular fibers.
Light Compression
– This stroke uses gentle, rhythmic pressure to stimulate blood flow (increase circulation), relax muscles, and encourage lymphatic drainage. It’s beneficial for warming up muscles before activity or soothing soreness after exercise. The compression stroke is an excellent movement to break apart tight muscle fibers.
Massage techniques like these can enhance flexibility, improve circulation, & support recovery -- helping your horse feel and move it's best.
WHY THESE MUSCLES MATTER
The triceps muscle in a horse is responsible for extending the elbow joint, allowing the horse to straighten its foreleg.
This movement is essential for:
>Pushing off the ground during movement, such as walking, trotting, cantering, and jumping.
>Weight-bearing and stability when the horse is standing or landing from a jump.
>Engaging the front legs for powerful forward motion, especially in performance horses.
A well-functioning triceps muscle is crucial for fluid movement, strength, and overall athletic performance in horses!
The deltoid muscle in a horse is responsible for flexing the shoulder joint & allowing lateral (side-to-side) movement of the foreleg.
>Shoulder Flexion
– Helps lift and move the front leg forward.
>Lateral Stability
– Assists in side-to-side movements, important for agility and balance.
>Engagement in Turns & Maneuvers
– Plays a key role in activities like cutting, jumping, and barrel racing.
A strong, flexible deltoid muscle helps horses move more freely, making it essential for both

We see a notable difference in the herd's attitude. They hold on to stress as we do, in their bodies, and need extra support. Thank you Wendy for donating your time and talent to support our staff.

The BEMER has been great. Glad we got one, it’s keeping our show horses healthy. It has even helped with the studs, they seem to be more mellow going to the vet and jumping on the dummy.

So love the BEMER.
Our assistant trainer said BEMER has made a difference, noticed that my mare is not so stiff or tentative.
My horses seem to relax and enjoy BEMER time and I believe it helps them to feel and of course, perform better.

The BEMER has done some pretty cool things around here. I use it almost every day. Two mares have significantly changed. They were totally stocked up and both are moving around better than I have seen in years. Amazing. Thank you!

Zipper is a 5 yr filly who was in a riding accident during training. She could not be touched on her back without visible discomfort, not even with a brush, she had swelling in her stifle and hocks. After the very first session of BEMER you could see how relaxed she became. I attempted the brush again and she accepted it willingly. By Zipper’s 2nd treatment (24 hours apart) the swelling in her stifle and hocks had dissipated over 80% and by her 3rd session (an additional 24 hours later) it was completely gone. She was more thoroughly examined by my vet who encouraged additional BEMER sessions as part of her healing. I believe whole heartedly that BEMER played an instrumental part in her complete and full recovery so she could continue her training. Zipper has now become a working ranch horse who also competes professionally in ranch versatility.
