Specialized Bodywork Applications

Below services can be added on to individual massage or completed as a standalone service. Package pricing available

Kinesiology Taping starting at $35

Equine K-Tape is a specialized elastic adhesive tape designed for application on horses to provide dynamic support and facilitate natural healing processes. Unlike rigid athletic tapes, it offers flexibility, allowing for full range of motion while providing a gentle lifting effect on the skin and hair.

This lifting action is thought to create micro-spaces between tissue layers, which can encourage improved circulation of blood and lymphatic fluid, aiding in the reduction of swelling and inflammation. By subtly stimulating sensory receptors in the skin, K-Tape can also influence muscle function, potentially assisting with muscle activation or relaxation, relieving tension, and enhancing proprioception (body awareness). Applied strategically, it can offer support to joints, tendons, and ligaments, contribute to pain relief, and help optimize performance and recovery without restricting the horse's natural movement.

Cold Laser Therapy starting at $55

Equine cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive therapeutic modality that utilizes specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular function in horses. A handheld device emits concentrated light, which penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the cells within the underlying tissues.

This absorbed light energy is believed to trigger a cascade of beneficial physiological responses at a cellular level. It can enhance cellular metabolism and energy production, leading to accelerated tissue repair and regeneration. Equine cold laser therapy is commonly employed to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, improve local circulation, and facilitate faster healing of various musculoskeletal injuries, wounds, and chronic conditions. It is a gentle, pain-free treatment designed to support the horse's natural healing capabilities and optimize their comfort and performance

Cupping starting at $30

Equine cupping is a non-invasive bodywork technique that involves placing specialized cups on a horse's skin to create a gentle vacuum. As the air within the cup is evacuated, it draws the skin and superficial fascia upwards into the cup. This suction action is believed to lift and separate tissue layers, which can encourage increased blood flow and lymphatic circulation to the treated area.

This enhanced circulation is thought to help flush out metabolic waste products, reduce localized swelling, and alleviate muscle tension and restrictions. By gently decompressing the tissues, equine cupping aims to improve flexibility, reduce discomfort, and support the horse's natural healing and recovery processes, contributing to overall musculoskeletal health and comfort.
