Your horse is a complex and powerful creature. One capable of extreme athletic performances while also possessing the same grace and delicacy of a flower.
In order for your horse to feel and perform at their best, they need a well-balanced body and mind. A balanced body is able to restore and maintain bodily functions that provide protection and healing.
Sometimes life events such as growth spurts, injuries, stress, illness, training, and competition can tip this balance. The body is then left in a state where it’s unable to heal and restore. This can lead to chronic inflammation, posture imbalances, and changes in performance and comfort.
Bodywork can reboot the body’s communication system to restore normal order and function within the body

*Difficulty with riding transitions
*Pulls shoes on a regular basis

Does Your Dog Need Bodywork?
Your dog is a pretty amazing animal, best friend, and family member. If you’re like us, keeping your dog fit, healthy, and happy is likely a top priority for you.
Chances are you’re already on the right path to a happy and healthy dog by:
*Feeding them the best diet you can
*Providing ample time to exercise and play
*And keeping up to date on their personal health care needs
But did you know that bodywork can help boost the impact of each of the key steps above?
In order for your dog to feel and be at their best, they need a well-balanced body and mind. A balanced body is able to restore and maintain bodily functions that provide:
*Nutritional support
*Mental health
*Healing
*Muscle and joint support
*Sometimes life events such as growth spurts, injuries, stress, illness, training, and competition can tip this balance. The body is then left in a state where it’s unable to heal and restore. This can lead to chronic inflammation, posture imbalances, changes in their mobility, and comfort.
Signs Your Dog Needs Bodywork Support
*Sensitivity when grooming
*Anxious or nervous behavior
*Has had a change in personality
*On and off limping, pain, or arthritic changes
*Excessive itching, chewing, or shaking with no known medical cause

*Their body is angled when trying to move straight
*Has delayed recovery times after competitions
*Has suffered from a boney or soft tissue injury
*Recently had a soft tissue surgery such as a spay, neuter, knee or hip repair, and even small lumps and cancer surgeries
*And the list can go on …as the whole body is connected via fascial tissue that bodywork can support.
*So, whether your dog is a competitive athlete, your fur kid, or your favorite old friend living out their golden years, they will benefit from canine bodywork.
Meet our Practitioners
Hello,
I am excited to see that you’re exploring ways for you to be able to assist your animal’s overall well-being! My name is Caren and I am passionate, to say the least about animal health and welfare.
My goal is to not only help your animals but also to help you learn more so that you can continue to be their best health advocate. Together we can work to get their bodies back on track through hands-on support as well as healing the body from the inside out with nutritional and homeopathic support. My background allows me to practice a holistic approach. Meaning we will not only support them through their “symptoms” but also get to the root of the imbalance in the body that is causing “dis-ease”. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you through your animal health journey.
