Is Your Horse Acting Out from Pain? Discover the Advanced
Therapies That Can Help.
If your horse is head-tossing, acting cinchy, or just seems "off," they could be
communicating discomfort. It's time to stop guessing and start addressing the root
cause of their pain with targeted, advanced equine therapies. We go beyond traditional
massage to offer a multi-layered approach to help your horse feel and perform their
best.
Why go beyond traditional massage for your horse?
For many equine athletes and companions, pain is a complex issue stemming from
deep tissue restrictions, cellular dysfunction, or inflammation. Our therapies work in
synergy to target these issues, promoting lasting relief and a better quality of life for
your horse.
Here's how our advanced equine therapies work:
• PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) Therapy: This non-invasive therapy uses
electromagnetic waves to stimulate cells, enhance circulation, and reduce
inflammation, helping to accelerate the body's natural healing processes. It can
be beneficial for managing chronic conditions like arthritis, muscle soreness, and
tendon injuries.
• Cupping Massage: This modality uses suction to lift and separate tight layers of
muscle and fascia. This helps release deep tissue tension, improve blood and
lymphatic flow, and address adhesions that restrict movement and cause pain.
• KT Taping: An elastic therapeutic tape applied by a trained professional to
support muscles and joints, provide stability, and encourage proper movement. It
can extend the benefits of a massage session, help correct muscle function, and
reinforce the healing process.
• Gua Sha Therapy: Using a smooth tool to scrape the skin, this technique
stimulates blood flow and releases fascial adhesions. It can provide long-lasting
relief from muscle tightness and chronic pain, particularly in the back and neck.
• Acupressure: By applying manual pressure to specific points along the body's
energy pathways, this ancient technique can help balance the horse's vital
energy, relieve pain, and promote deep relaxation.
• Light Therapy: Targeted wavelengths of red and near-infrared light are used to
pe*****te deep into tissues, boosting cellular energy and accelerating tissue
repair. This can help reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and speed up recovery
from injuries.
The result: A healthier, happier horse
This combination of advanced modalities provides a comprehensive approach to
equine wellness. We address the full range of issues—from cellular health and
circulation to deep tissue and joint function—so your horse can get back to being their
happy, comfortable self.
