John Fernand Marti’s main area of expertise is a manual physiotherapy treatment using massage.
Targeted and correctly applied massage can restore the loss of performance resulting from the effects of muscle tension, such as stiffness as well as loss of and unlevel rhythm. Even in cases involving muscle injury, such as ruptured muscles (torn muscle fibres) or Lanzenstiche, a correctly administered massage can significantly speed up and improve the healing process.
John Fernand Marti developed several devices assisting the massage treatment that enhance the effectiveness of traditional techniques due to their shape, designed especially for this purpose.
These devices may be applied by the layman, after initial instruction, and can be ordered from John Fernand Marti.
The physiotherapeutic form of the massage generally serves to treat acute muscular tension and injury and also enhances the horse’s well-being and performance.
