Equine Bodywork

Helping horses move well, recover well, and feel good in their bodies.

Equine bodywork can be a valuable part of keeping horses comfortable and supporting their performance. At Elements Equine Bodyworks, sessions are tailored to the individual horse rather than following a set routine. I look at the whole horse, including how they move, where they hold tension, their workload, and what they may be communicating through their body.

What Can Equine Bodywork Help With?
 

Bodywork may be beneficial for horses experiencing or working through:

  • Muscle tension and stiffness

  • Uneven or restricted movement

  • Compensation patterns

  • Recovery after exercise

  • Maintaining mobility in older horses

  • Supporting athletic performance

  • Changes in posture or way of going

  • Tension related to training or workload

  • General relaxation and body awareness
     

Bodywork is not a replacement for veterinary care, but it can be a useful part of a horse's overall care team.

My Approach

Every horse is different, so I don't use the exact same techniques or routine for every session. I combine observation, palpation, and movement assessment with the techniques that best suit the horse that day.

My training and bodywork backgrounds also work together. Understanding how a horse should move helps me recognize areas of tension or compensation, while working with the horse's body gives me another perspective when assessing their movement.

What Clients Say

After the session my mare was more free up front through her shoulders while trotting. She generally struggles picking up the left lead canter. When she gets the left lead it’s normally slower and she will shake her head at the beginning and and occasionally pull down. She picked up the left lead perfectly the first time asking with no head shaking! She just stepped right into the canter and did multiple laps of canter too! She was the most comfortable on that side that we have seen in a while!” - Kaitlyn K
