Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in my equine's session?

Every equine fascial therapy session includes a static assessment of behavior, posture, and conformation. In addition to a dynamic assessment of movement and range of motion/pain testing. This will be followed by 1.5-2 hours hands on fascial integration therapy. At the end of the session I may leave stretches as homework.

What should I expect for my equines's first session?

As I take a holistic approach to bodywork, the first session may take a little longer than normal. I will ask a lot of questions about the horse's lifestyle and I will take my time letting the horse get comfortable with my work. Many horses, especially those that have never experienced bodywork, are initially apprehensive. These horses usually relax and are clearly enjoying themselves by the end of the first session.

How should I prepare for a session?

Please have your horse caught, clean, dry, fed and relaxed. Horses that are hungry and anxious will have extremely tight fascia and will not benefit from bodywork. In addition it is uncomfortable for both myself and the horse to spread dirt and water through the tissue. I charge a $50 fee if the horse is not caught, clean and dry.

How many sessions does my equine need?

Fascial integration therapy is meant to be performed in a series, with each session building upon the last. Ideally, your horse should receive at least six bodywork sessions, to have the maximum benefit and result in long-lasting changes. After six sessions, the horse can go onto a maintenance plan and receive bodywork as needed.

Do you offer discounts?

Yes! I offer $20 off of every session for veterinarians, farriers and fellow bodyworkers. In addition sessions are buy one get one 50% off for equine rescue and therapy facilities (non-profits only).
