BODYWORK & MASSAGE
For equine athletes and companions.
AND RECOVERY
Providing The Best For Your Horse
Equine massage therapy and bodywork are non-invasive hands-on therapeutic applications used to improve health and well-being. Techniques include the manipulation of soft tissue through a variety of modalities to address dysfunction, pain, or restriction in the body, and restore utility, support biotensegrity, and provide physical or mental relaxation.
Whether your horse is an athlete or pasture companion, Equine Integrated Therapy's skilled massage and bodywork is an integral piece to any equine's healthcare management practices.

Individualized Evaluation & Treatment Strategy
Equine Integrated Therapy utilizes dynamic systems of whole body assessment and equine bodywork methods to support maintenance, performance and recovery needs with the goal to restore and or improve optimal function. Your horse is an active participant in the process and his well-being and role in the treatment is always considered and monitored.
Horses may be posturally assessed, evaluated in motion (at liberty, in hand or ridden), palpated and or checked for tissue dysfunction. Modalities may incorporate Swedish massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, passive/active stretching, hot/cold therapy, or somatic and neuromuscular reeducation. Recommendations may be provided for "at-home" activities and exercises, additional treatments, and or referrals to other equine professionals, as needed.

I could feel the love BriAnn puts into her work. She is changing so many equine lives through her beautiful gift and intuitive spirit. BriAnn really supports the body through constant communication and goes where the horse needs the most support. She doesn't force anything, and gives the horse space to unwind and heal in the way they need. It is so beautiful watch.
