Mask Group-min

The FROGGY stroke is designed to improve the tone of the hamstrings and therefore improve the function of the hip, stifle and hock. The hamstring muscles considered in this stroke are the semitendinosus and semimembranosus. The FROGGY stroke can connect with branches of the sciatic nerve in the region of the tuber ischium. The FROGGY Stroke simulates the horse’s movements during mutual grooming of the hindlimb.
