Equine Bodywork

Equine Bodywork: Ttouch, Myofacial Release, and Reiki techniques are combined with the use of Cold Laser to produce pain relief, ease tension and speed healing. Each of these techniques are gentle yet effective.

Ttouch reduces tension, relieves pain and swelling and causes relaxation. It has been shown in several research studies to produce a unique brain wave pattern in the human giving and in the animal receiving the Ttouch. A pattern of all 4 brainwaves was produced simultaneously indicating that horses can access logical thought. Ttouch is unique in it's ability to put them in the "right frame of mind for learning" opening the way for behavior change.

Myofacial Release targets the tough connective tissue that surrounds all muscle, spreading a three dimensional web throughout the body. Myofacial Release causes the tissue to lengthen, restoring the proper mechanical length to the connective tissues. This restoration of length and function to previously restricted tissues can relieve pain, as well as restore alignment and mobility to joints. This provides good long-term results after treatment.

Reiki balances the energy flow through the body. Physical, mental or emotional injury can cause the flow to become blocked or warped. With application of Reiki techniques a more balanced flow can be restored. The results can be seen in improved attitude and performance.

Cold Laser has recently been approved by FDA for humans after many years of research. Penny participated in these studies for three years. Cold laser increases the cell’s ability to heal itself. Obvious benefits: reduced pain and swelling, faster healing of injuries, less scarring, and in some cases a restart of healing in old “cold”injuries. Invisible proven result: stronger healing of muscle fibers.

Is my horse a candidate for Equine Bodywork?

Horses in training, horses with a history of poor training or treatment, horses that perform repetitive movements in any discipline, horses with a history of lameness, injuries or surgeries, and just plain backyard friends can all benefit from Equine Bodywork. Pain, decreased mobility, difficulty with lead changes, sore or "cold backed", irritability, "laziness", stiffness to one side, short-stridedness, muscle spasms, decreased performance, and mysterious undiagnosable lameness, have all been relieved by this combination of techniques.
