Holistic Horse Health

Ever gone to a physiotherapist, chiropractor or masseuse?
Horses working for a living can benefit too!

Humans have muscle fatigue, sprains, back pain, TMJ, headaches, arthritis, etc. Horses suffer as well. Problematic behavior, poor health, and other physical signs are the horse’s expressions of pain.

Massage increases the blood circulation to cleanse toxins and dead cells.  It reduces swelling in soft tissue. Alignments of structure can relieve discomfort, improve range of movement, and overall health.

Impulse therapies involving TENS treatment reduces swelling, relaxes sore muscles, develops muscle tissue, and provide pain relief.

Magnetics/light/acupressure benefit clearing of toxic cells, and open the energy meridians in the body, strengthening circulation, thereby allowing the body to rebuild strong healthy tissue.

Do these different therapies really work?  Yes!
Regular maintenance programs open circulation and cleanse toxins/dead cells. This increases the horse's ability to perform under stress, lengthening its career. Performance horses are working better and staying sound longer. Equines with bad attitudes and poor keepers all show marked improvement.

Applications of holistic horse care:
This is not a one-time miracle cure.   Length and intensity of sessions depend on the severity of the problem. Knowledge of several fields of therapy has helped family horses and Olympic equine competitors alike recover from pain and injury.

Holistic care assists veterinarians and trainers to increase horses' circulation, ease pain, and let their bodies self-heal. Some of the areas we can assist in:

  • Short attention span

  • Sore shoulders, back

  • Unevenness in gaits

  • Swelling, arthritis

  • Infections

  • Muscle spasms

  • Undetermined lameness

  • Restricted flexibility

  • Poor keepers
