Equine Sports Massage has many benefits that will help your horse. Massage helps maintain healthy muscles and helps those muscles maintain the strength and suppleness needed to excel in any discipline. Benefits also include: improving range of motion, helps in preventing atrophy and injury, improves muscle tone, enhances circulation, and more.

PEMF uses a machine with accompanying loops that send pulsating electro-magnetic waves through the body and has many benefits. These waves can penetrate up to sixteen inches through body tissue to target deep set areas of tension and restriction. These waves help stimulate cell metabolism, increases circulation, relaxes muscles, improves range of motion, reduces soreness & fatigue, and more. This service has many of the same benefits of massage and is able to get through to deeper tissues to help the horse perform and feel his/her best.

KT Taping or Kinesiology Taping, is an excellent tool that can help the horse with a variety of issues. KT taping has many benefits which include: reducing inflammation associated with pain/soreness, increases circulation, aids in rehabilitation, supports full range of motion, and can decrease muscle spasms. These tapes can help support ligaments, tendons, joints, and muscles all while allowing your horse to live their normal day to day life unrestricted.

Complementary upon request. Thermal imaging can be a helpful tool in seeing patterns of temperature and asymmetry of temperature/circulation in the horse’s body. For accurate images the horse needs to be thoroughly cleaned and out of the sun for at least 2 hours prior to imaging.

Using saline to create a breathable mist in the nebulizer can be excellent therapy for your horse’s airways. Our horses tend to breath in a lot of dust, pollutants, and allergens in their environments which can affect their breathing at times. I only use saline in my nebulizer, if you feel your horse needs more than a saline therapeutic treatment it is best to call your veterinarian.
