Bodywork Session

$125.00

Restore Balance, Relieve Tension, and Support Your Horse’s Natural Well-Being.

A dedicated 60-minute equine bodywork session focuses on the "whole horse," addressing both physical tightness and mental stress. By working directly with the soft tissue, this therapy helps your horse release the deep-seated tension that comes from daily work, training demands, or past injuries.

What to Expect During a Session:

  • Initial Consultation & Palpation: I begin with a brief discussion of your horse's history and a hands-on musculoskeletal assessment to identify "hot spots," trigger points, and areas of restricted fascia.

  • Targeted Soft Tissue Therapy: Using myofascial release, I manipulate the muscles and connective tissues to encourage relaxation and healing.

  • Nervous System Regulation: I monitor your horse's "releases"—such as licking, chewing, yawning, or lowering the head—to ensure the work stays within their comfort level and effectively calms the nervous system.

  • Guided Stretching: Controlled, gentle stretches are incorporated to improve suppleness, increase range of motion, and help maintain the benefits of the session.

  • Post-Session Care: You will receive a summary of the findings and specific "homework" exercises or stretches to help your horse stay comfortable between visits.

Key Benefits:

  • Improved Mobility: Loosens tight muscles and adhesions, allowing for a freer, more fluid stride.

  • Enhanced Recovery: Boosts circulation and lymphatic drainage to help muscles recover faster after strenuous exercise.

  • Pain Reduction: Alleviates the discomfort caused by muscle knots, scar tissue, or compensatory patterns.

  • Mental Focus: A relaxed body leads to a more willing and focused partner under saddle.

This session is ideal for performance horses needing routine maintenance, seniors requiring extra comfort, or any horse showing signs of "grumpiness" or resistance due to physical discomfort.
