Single and multi modality sessions available for wellness, maintenance and rehab purposes. I work on performance horses of all disciplines, as well as pleasure horses, lesson horses, rescues and retirees.
Static and dynamic assessment used to create a protocol for your horse. Veterinary input welcome and recommended, especially for rehab & injury cases. Veterinary diagnosis required for acute conditions. The Veterinary Board of the State of Texas requires your veterinarian’s consent for any alternative therapy to be administered on your animal.
Some benefits of alternative modalities for Equines:
Relaxation, through reduction of stress and tension
Increased flexibility of soft tissues
Reduction of edema and inflammation
Enhancement of waste and toxin elimination
Maintenance of good posture and body balance
Prevention of atrophy in inactive muscles
Improvement in athletic performance, including increased range of motion
Loosening & softening of scar tissue and adhesions
Release of endorphins (pain reduction)
Improvement of proprioceptive deficits
Increased circulation and oxygenation
These methods are considered alternative therapies in the State of Texas. Alternative therapy is not a replacement for adequate veterinary diagnosis and care. It is not veterinary medicine or chiropractic adjustment. I cannot diagnose, treat or prescribe medications for your horse.
Veterinary management, adequate nutrition, appropriate foot balance, correct training, riding and well-fitting tack are all essential components of a healthy horse, which together with therapeutic support, help to prevent injury and assist in keeping your horse fit, supple and sound. We welcome the support of your trainer, veterinarian, farrier and other equine professionals to provide the best care for your horse(s). It takes a village to keep the equine athlete performing at their highest potential!
