THE ART OF MOVEMENT

EQUINE MASSAGE THERAPY

We work to allow your horse to move freely and without pain to better improve the relationship of rider and horse. Whether you show, race, or trail ride with your horse; we can help you!

We offer Equine Massage Therapy, Cold Laser Therapy and Sheath Cleaning.

“Equine Osteopathy is a combination of spinal and extremity joint manipulation, visceral (organ) manipulation and craniosacral therapy. The fundamental philosophy of osteopathy is that for the body to be truly healthy and vital, every tissue in the body must have proper mobility thus, affecting flow of blood, lymph and nerve impulses. Osteopathy treats the whole body.”

Infrared light therapy equipment innovatively utilizes light energy to enhance the body’s own natural and intelligent healing processes. It is a non-intrusive, drug-free modality used to treat and/or prevent injuries or re-injuries. It also can alleviate pain, stress, and swelling – safely, effectively, and painlessly. Light therapy units emit a specific wavelength of photon energy, similar to the sun’s rays. In small doses, and with correct power, light therapy enhances already healthy cells and stimulates damaged cells to begin their healing process.

Osteopaths use a broad range of gentle hands-on techniques including soft tissue stretching, deep tactile pressure, and mobilization or manipulation of joints.

I want to stress that I have spent years studying the Equine Anatomy and am still a student! I am not someone that just took a 4 day course and call myself certified!

I travel all over Alberta, BC, Saskatchewan, Ont.
