	Here I am using traveling hands as I do skin rolling into some compression and petrissage technique. The skin rolling helps increase elasticity of muscle and relaxes, which then allow greater access to worker deeper. Petrissage is a firmer muscle squeezing. This breaks up areas of congestion and increasing new blood and oxygen to muscle tissues, as well as releasing toxins. Compression is a sort of rhythmic pumping to release muscle spasms and to help horse relax as well. Horses react very well to technique that is rhythmic and consistent, which is soothing to them.
