Beating Muscle Injuries for Horses is a great book written by Jack Meagher - sports therapist.  It is both practical and informational written in a way that is easy to quick reference when you need it.  We leave it up at our stable where we can revise the diagrams and areas to treat for different problems.  Stress point therapy makes sense.   We had a TB come here some time ago who would kick out when nervous.  You could see by his conformation that there were back issues that had most likely never been recognised throughout his life.  After pressing and prodding along his back and rump area i found a spot that when touched he would react by kicking out one leg.  Sad to say often this kind of behaviour is seen as an animal that has a nasty vice.  After utilising the Stress Point Therapy method I managed to located the knot and work it out, needless to say his kicking out stopped. He had other back issues that were ongoing and required regular massage but at least we had eased some of his pain in this particularly sore spot.
