Myo-Manipulative Massage Single Session

​

Massage is utilized more and more in the treatment and prevention of injuries, stiffness or edema. It has become more broadly used in maintenance and recovery for our Equine Partners. The various benefits of massage are dependent on the horse, but they include:

  • Reduced Inflammation

  • Improved Lymphatic Drainage

  • Relieve Tension

  • Reduce Soreness and feeling fatigue

  • Reduces Trigger points

  • Creates separation of muscle fibers

  • Improves performance by balancing balance and posture

  • Increases range of motion

  • Tones muscles

  • Mobilizes nutrients into the muscles and removes waste products

​

With specially trained in Myo-Manipulative, we use the body as a whole to heal and treat injuries or soreness. Your session will include shiatsu massage, gua sha, and myo-fascial release. I also include basic evaluation upon physical examination and lameness examination. This may include a saddle fit test as well. 

​

Myo-Manipulative differs from Massage as a sense that we take into consideration the body as a whole. While Massage is an excellent supportive therapy, it tends to find specific issues and treat it. A Myo-Manipulative session will include attention to the body's meridians and balance. Its specially important for us to be mindful of fascia & connective tissue, as this is what connects everything in the body.

Still actively training for CEMT but qualified to offer free massages for case study/log hours to complete certification. Contact me to learn more! 

Kinesiology Taping Application

​

Kinesio tape when applied correctly lifts the skin, creating a decompression action. This decompression promotes blood and lymph flow which will in turn, decreases edema and swelling associated with inflammation of the tissues.

​

With every movement during application, it stimulates mechanoreceptors and proprioceptors and inhibits nociceptors. Nociceptor - pain sensors -are inhibited by mechanoreceptors which will equal less pain being perceived. Proprioceptors are stimulated and send impulses to the brain to give it awareness of where the body part's are in both in movement and not.

 

The benefits of K-taping doesn't end when I leave! It has effects as long as the tape stays on, making it extremely helpful and cost effective! 

​

I am a certified equine kinesiology practioner with Angels Animals Holistic studies, and actually working on both being a fundamental and advanced certified with Sozo Equine. 

​

Initial Consult includes full examination and palpation with applied tape along 4 various sections. Additional concerned areas or meridian taping is additional at cost of tape per area plus 40% (Example, the Poll could be $5 where as a meridian taping can be up to $20).

Complete Myo-Manipulative Therapy Package​

​

Shiatsu Massage uses energy meridians similar to those found in acupressure and acupuncture points. These energy meridians are used to restore any restrictions found with these meridians for maximum flexibility and comfort of the horse. It is used to not only manage physical concerns, but also emotional and mental as well. 

 

The Myofascial techniques are used to release fascial adhesions typically found in stress points and scar tissue. The various techniques uses in this part of the massage will aid in breaking down the fascia adhesions and improving movement and decreasing pain associated with soft tissue injuries. 

​

Craniosacral therapy communicates with the central nervous system and the fascia. With skilled hands and knowledge, the craniosacral system can be touched lightly to stimulate the bodys own healing properties, and aid in removing any restrictions within the CNS. The aim is to stimulate the parasympathetic system, and decrease the activity in the sympathetic system - their fight or flight.  

​

Your horse's session will include treatments using myo-manipulative techniques with shiatsu, gua sha and myo-fascial release and will also include craniosacral, acupressure and Kinesio taping (up to 2 areas, additional areas will concur a fee of 10$ per area)

Included Laser therapy

Red Laser/Cold Laser Therapy â€‹

​

The use of laser therapy is primarily used in the aid of healing, reducing inflammation and promoting cell repair. It stimulates blood & ATP which are the energy source for cells (blood carries cells & oxygen). ATP triggers cell responses (growth) following an injury. This is also true for muscle tissues as well due to ATP synthesis. 

​

When an animal gets injured, blood rushes to the area carrying specialized cells to start the process of healing, which what we see as inflammation. By using red laser, we help the cells repairs and regenerate and reduce the inflammation, cutting healing time in half!

​

Benefits & Uses:

  • Through various stimulations we will bring more oxygen into the area to promote healing & recovery. 

  • Laser has also been noted to help stimulate hair follicles, and will thus provide a smaller scar & faster hair regrowth.

  • Laser therapy has shown to have have analgesic affect on nerves, helping with pain control. 

​

Laser can:

  • Reduce Inflammation

  • Improve healing

  • Regeneration of tissue

  • Nerve pain relief

Kinesiology Show Service​

​

Using the decompression effect of Kinesio Taping, I use basic protocols to ensure maximized recovery before and after hard performance such as showing. By applying the tape we can help prevent inflammation and pain on the hard working muscles of your athlete. 

​

I also use supportive taping for overnight to allow relief of these muscles, and incorporate the meridians of the horse to ensure a well state of mind. 

This price includes a thorough examination with multiple tapings for both support, well being and pain reduction.  I typically recommend a session the morning of or night before your Show.

​

 I tape all areas of concern and focus on muscles specific for your discipline, and also tape along a meridian best suited for your horse's well being. Support tapings are usually applied to the legs, while pain reduction can be applied to neck, back and stifles. 

​

This is an excellent deal as initial consults only include 4 areas - with performance protocols, we can tape upwards of 8 various areas.
