As a graduate, you will be confident that you know everything you need to know to provide equine massage therapy in an effective, therapeutic, and professional manner. What kind of demand is there for Equine Massage Therapy, and is the therapy "transferable" to other companion animals? Every horse owner and trainer - whether they own or work with horses involved in competition, - wants, and in many instances, needs their equines to be free of muscle problems that can cause pain and inhibit the horses's movement and performance.
Because of the health-promoting qualities of massage, as well as its restorative properties, knowledgeable owners and trainers are incorporating this therapy as an integral part of their horse's total and continuous health care program.
The therapy is certainly transferable - by virtue of its generally universal effectiveness and similarity of technique - to other companion animals, such as cats. It would be necessary that those wishing to market feline massage services to study and lean the muscle system of the cat. Must an individual be licensed as a certified human massage therapist before attending an Equine Massage Therapy Program?
At present there are no state regulations governing the licensing of equine massage therapists. To put it in proper perspective, there are only 43 states that require licensing for human massage therapists.
It will be quite a while - if ever - before states get around to licensing those who massage animals. As recognized leaders in the development of this therapy, we believe that Equissage would undoubtedly play a role in the establishment of regulatory guidelines when, and if, the day of state regulation should arrive.
Massaging a horse, dog, or cat is not the same as massaging a human. To require an animal massage therapist to first learn how to massage humans would be akin to requiring a veterinarian to first attend medical school before practicing on animals. We do instruct our students in the fact that massage therapy is not a substitute for veterinary care. What information is covered in the Program? The major emphasis in the ESMT Program is on the application and sequence of massage techniques and massage strokes.
