What Is Equine Bodywork:
The application of sports massage and passive stretching to the equine. Its aim is to help improve circulation and range of motion throughout the equine's body; as well as the overall performance and way of going of the equine. It also aim to improving the overall well being of the equine and can be used as a preventative measure. It is a non-invasive hands on technique.
What It Can Be Used For:
• Improving gait, range of motion and flexibility throughout the equine.
• Improve circulation
• Aid in removal of waste and toxins from the body
• Improve muscle tone
• Aid in the relief of pain generated from tense tissue and other musculoskeletal issues
• Reduce risk of injury caused by stains and muscle fatigue
• Aid in rehabilitation of injuries and improve soft tissue that are effect due to compensation
• Improve overall well being of the equine
• Preventative measure
• Relaxing treat for the equine
• Relaxes muscle spasms
• Relieves adhesions in muscles and can help in prevention of occurrence
What a session involves:
An initial session will begin with an initial history intake about the horse followed by a full static observation assessment and a dynamic observation assessment (not ridden); if issues are present when ridden, a ridden assessment can also be carried out. Once this is completed the massage session can begin working over the full body of the equine with targeted work on the areas needed. The session finishes with passive stretching followed by advice and recommendations for the owner if required. (Vet authorisation must been sought before a session can take place)

LASER THERAPY
What Laser stands for: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
The practice of Laser Therapy is known as: Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT).
The Basic Principle:
If a tissue is injured, the normal function of that tissue is impaired...LLLT acts by stimulating or activating the cells in the targeted tissue; altering the metabolism and behaviour of the cell in the tissue and thus increase healing potential. Different tissue types are activated or stimulated by different wave lengths, frequencies and energy densities. These can also change depending on the desired outcome and reason for using LLLT.
What Can LLLT Be Used For:
• Laser can help with both chronic and acute pain: Laser is able to decrease the speed of the nerve conduction and thus reduces the number of pain impulses that the CNS receives.
• Muscle spasms
• Nerve inflammation
• Lymphatic issues
• Arthritic conditions
• Wound healing: help prevent infection and enables the closure of the wound without the accumulation of proud flesh.
• Acupuncture or trigger point therapy
• Fracture/ Bone healing
