We listen with our hands, collaborate with the horse, and follow vet guidelines to create a highly individualized, synergistic experience. This holistic session triggers the physiological responses most needed by your athlete.
The Science
Comfortable movement is crucial for healthy muscular development & refined athleticism. Properly administered modalities
assist in preventing injury and expediting recovery. Sessions vary in length, depending on the horse. This is not a production line, cookie-cutter service. Bookings are limited so that adequate time can be provided for all sessions. Some of the methods utilized are outlined here: Touch
is essential to gauge areas of lack and monitor feedback from the body.
Various manual techniques aim to: tone or sedate acupoints; increase
range of motion; stretch fascia; release spasms; release nerve
compression; improve blood flow, etc. Manual Therapists are Certified; Licensed;
and Accredited by Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
PEMF helps to increase electrolytes and balance ions in the cell wall. This enhances the cellular metabolism in stiff and depleted muscles, tendons and joints.
We use the only FEI approved unit and the only unit with an electrical safety certification provided by Magnus Magnetica.
Photobiomodulation boosts mitochondrial membrane potential and accelerates ATP production. ATP is the fuel needed for muscle contraction. It also stimulates angiogenesis (development of new blood vessels).
We use a variety of FEI approved Multiradiance LASERS which are endorsed by ISELP and Olympic athletes. The Journal of Equine Veterinary Science published a research study concluding that these LASERs better penetrate skin compared to a Class IV, offering a better therapeutic clinical effect and with much safer results.
