Equine massage and bodywork varies in both technique and intensity depending on issues presented by the equine client, through rider/owner/trainer intake, hands-on assessment and in-person or video observation.

Modalities may include: massage, light touch techniques, accupressure, myofascial release, kinesiology taping and more. Magnetotherapy / PEMF sessions are also available.

Each session will be specifically designed to target the areas that most affect your equine partner using any of the modalities that I think will benefit your horse the most.

I will leave you with exercises and stretches to work on with your horse between appointments in order to keep them feeling their best and continue the benefits and build on each session.

Equine Sports Massage

Therapeutic application of hands-on massage techniques for the purpose of increasing circulation, relaxing muscle spasms, relieving tension, enhancing muscle tone, and increase the range of motion, especially (but not limited to) in performance horses.

Equine Kinesiotaping

C5187C30-D232-41FC-B12D-A1173F1D9170_edi

Kinesiology tape gives support and stability to the horses’ joints and muscles, while increasing circulation and allowing for full range of motion. Depending upon its application, kinesiology tape can be can be used as either a sole or adjunctive treatment. It can reduce or control pain, manage swelling or edema, increase joint range of motion and muscle function, and maintain a level of functionality and comfort for the horse.

Remedial Therapy

Light touch release techniques (LTR), acupressure and soft tissue manipulation related to body trigger points. Positional Releases as well as MET (Muscle Energy Techniques) and joint mobilisations. Every horse is different and so different techniques, like a different tools in the toolbox, allows me to choose the one most suitable for your horse.

Magneto-therapy

50582AA0-F5BD-4617-93BF-47455E865C31_edi

Magnetotherapy with the use of a special mat that delivers a pulsed magnetic field of frequency range between 1-80hz and intensity range of 160 Gauss (2mT) supplied by BioMag Vet. Read more about magnetothrerapy HERE.

Fascia release

Fascial restriction is the cause of many problems that limit the performance of the equine athlete, with poor collection, balance problems, lack of flexibility or behavioral issues being only few of them. Equine Myofascial Release restores the necessary slack in the connective tissue web for proper functioning of the musculoskeletal structures.

Equine bodywork

1200EFB3-120D-461E-96A3-711E8819F185.heic

Stretching techniques as well as advice on exercises that you can do with your horse to improve his/her flexibility, prioproception (body awareness), strengh, stability and general athleticism.

Low Level Laster Therapy

Low level laser therapy (LLLT) is a therapeutic modality using the application of light using a light emitting diode in the power range of 1 mW to 12W that in practical terms promotes tissue regeneration as well as reducing inflammation and pain.

The device used by me features a light-emitting array with high-powered red light (633 nm) and infrared light (850 nm). The peak power output of 330 mW/cm2 will not deliver enough power to damage the tissue, but will deliver enough

energy to promote natural self-healing and pain relief

Heat Therapy

One of the oldest methods of physical therapy. Increasing the temperature of the targeted area cause vasodilation and dilation of the blood vessels leading to increased local circulation. It soothes discomfort releasing muscle tension and increases muscle flexibility.

I always carry The Thermal Wand by Epiony. It is a lightweight, portable source of direct heat shaped like a trident, enabling massage this three warm fingers into the specyfic muscles on the body.

Equine massage and bodywork does not replace veterinary care and is not used to diagnose or treat acute injury.
