Welcome to Shay Tactile Therapy
At Shay Tactile Therapy, we specialise in Equine Myotherapy, a hands-on, evidence-informed approach to soft tissue therapy designed to support your horse’s physical comfort, emotional balance and long-term soundness.
Whether your horse is maintaining, recovering, or preparing for performance, every session is tailored to meet their individual needs.
What We Offer
We provide structured treatment options designed to support horses at every stage of their work and wellness journey:
Equine Relaxation & Stretch Therapy
A gentle, full body treatment designed to reduce general tension, improve circulation and support nervous system regulation. Assisted stretching is incorporated once the muscles are warmed to enhance flexibility, mobility and overall comfort. Ideal for maintenance, light work, or horses needing a restorative reset.
Equine Myotherapy Treatment
A comprehensive full body session using targeted manual therapy techniques to address deeper muscular dysfunction, restriction and compensation patterns. Designed to restore balance, improve tissue quality and support long-term performance and soundness.
Equine Myotherapy + Stretch Therapy
Includes all the benefits of the Myotherapy Treatment, with the addition of assisted stretching to further enhance flexibility, range of motion and reinforce corrective changes. Ideal for horses requiring a more intensive reset or performance preparation.
Equine Pre-Performance Massage
A focused session designed to stimulate circulation, activate key muscle groups and prepare the body and mind for work, clinics or competition.
Tailored Care, Every Time
No two horses are the same and neither are their sessions. Some require deeper corrective work to address long-standing restrictions, while others benefit most from gentle nervous system support and maintenance.
Real care isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s about listening, assessing and treating the whole horse in front of us.
Your Horse’s Journey Starts with a Consultation
Every new client begins with a comprehensive consultation and full body assessment. This foundation allows us to create a personalised treatment approach aligned with your horse’s condition, workload and goals.
Initial sessions allow extended time to assess, connect and begin meaningful therapeutic work without rush. Ongoing sessions are selected based on what will best support your horse at that stage of their journey.
