Services & Benefits
Massage Therapy
Equine massage therapy is the manual manipulation of soft body tissues using a variety of massage techniques to relieve areas of discomfort. Massage helps keep equine athletes performing at their best. Horses of all breeds, ages, and disciplines can benefit from a massage. I use a deep tissue massage approach focusing on working out the knots and tension in order to find the root of the problem.
Kinesiology Taping
K-tape is an elastic athletic tape that is applied to the body to help with support, reduce inflammation, lessen pain, loosen fascia and help activate muscles.
K-tape can be used as a stand along modality or can be combined with massage. All Revitalizing Equine sessions include a small k-tape application when needed.
Red Light Therapy
Red Light Therapy is a non-invasive and painless way to reduce pain and inflammation and increase circulation.
The red light wavelength stimulates the mitochondria of the cell to help them produce ATP (or energy). When cells receive the required energy to function, they are able to help repair damage.
Infrared Thermography
Infrared Thermography is the use of an infrared camera to detect heat and blood flow in the body. A professional-grade camera is used to take photos of the horse's body to find potential issues.
Infrared Thermography can detect muscle tears, navicular and laminitis, arthritis, tendon and ligament injuries, and more.
Please note that Infrared Thermography is not a stand-alone diagnostic tool. If the camera picks up an issue that is of concern, I will recommend that you reach out to your veterinarian.
