Equine Body Work is beneficial to all horses and ponies from the family pony to the competition horse.  It works very well as part of a maintenance and conditioning programme (preventing the build up of knots, trauma and adhesions), in addition to being rehabilitative.

Sensitive hands can detect physical pain and discomfort and proceed to the process of healing.  Most horses greatly enjoy a body work session, with its benefits which are psychological and emotional as well as physical. 

I am a professional and qualified Equine and Human Massage Therapist.  I have had many years of experience working with equines and clients range from racehorses, polo ponies, eventing to the family pony.

Therapies offered include:

Equine Sports Massage

Professional therapeutic sports massage techniques applied to the equine include massage, range of motion stretches, stress and trigger point therapy. These have many benefits, from an increased range of motion, faster recovery from competition, to improved skin and muscle tone.

Myofascial Release

Dubbed as the 'missing link in traditional healthcare' myofascial release is a gentle but deep stretching into the connective tissue web which connects and covers all the bones, muscles and nerves in the body.  Myofascial release can make a real overall positive structural difference and enhance the  performance of your horse.

Healing

Working with subtle energy to channel and balance the physical, mental and emotional energy fields is effective especially when massage and myofascial release are not appropriate or contra-indicated.  Horses usually respond extremely well to energy work and there is no placebo effect!

For Humans:

The riders posture effects the horse and the horse will often mirror the rider.  A bodywork session can help to free restrictions and improve postural balance.  It is also brings a greater sense of awareness and well-being.
