Therapies I Offer

A 10-step evaluation will cover, watching the horse move at a walk and trot, a look over, full body checks for lumps, bumps, misalignments, tightness and spasms, a symmetry review, and correct saddle fit. The evaluation is recommended for the first time massage client and approximately every three months to re-evaluate. 

Thermal Imaging is included for the first evaluation and is recommended every three months. Thermal Imaging is a non-invasive imaging technique used to measure the differences in surface temperature. Thermal imaging includes approximately 20 images showing where more blood flow may be to certain areas helping pinpoint inflammation or infections. These images will come in a link after the session and can be shared with your veterinarian for diagnoses or prescription purposes.

As noted above, equine sports massage has many benefits to your horse and it is not just for pampering. My Sports massage is approximately a one hour full body massage that includes any extra time spent on tough spots like TMJ, Poll, Knots, etc. Following each sports massage, I include a 10 Minute Level 2 Bemer session to help improve blood flow to all the freshly massaged muscles. 

In my 30-day guided rehabilitation program, I help rehab some conditions in conjunction with your nutritionist, veterinarian, and farrier. Some of these conditions are EPM, ENMD, Colic, Ulcers, PSSM, Laminitis/ Founder, Sway back, and Navicular. The program includes 2 full evaluations including thermal imaging before and after the program as well as 7 full body sports massages and guidance for limited work to rebuild muscle strength slowly.

Ice Horse cold therapy includes suspensory, stifle, hock and back wrap. A 30 minute session can help reduce the pain for your horse, while reducing blood flow and fluid accumulation to the area. This will help reduce inflammation and make the healing process much more quickly. In a recent study about equine laminitis, Ice Horse found that their products using Cold Capsule ice pack technology that surround and cool inflamed tissues was more than 3 times more effective than gel packs or cold hosing. This makes ice horse cold therapy long enough and cold enough to actually make a real difference.
