Equine Massage Therapy (Bodywork)
Equine massage therapy is a hands-on treatment that uses massage to help horses relax, improve their range of motion, and heal from injuries. It's also known as equine bodywork or therapeutic massage. During the massage, the soft tissue is manipulated with the goal of loosening tight muscles, joints, tendons, scar tissue, and edema; increasing blood flow and lymphatic activity; and reducing stress. Equine massage is used in exercise warm-up and after injury or for surgery rehabilitation. Call for a quote.

Massage lotion or cream is used with smooth, gliding strokes. Swedish massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension and create other health benefits. It is a classic massage that will ease your stress and allow you to slip into a calm state of relaxation.

Hand or Foot Soak & Massage
FOOT MASSAGE: involves working on the feet with pressure, either manually or with mechanical aids to promote relaxation and health. A professional foot massage from a spa can be a treat, but a do-it-yourself self-massage or simply a rubdown of your feet can also ease pain and help you relax. Not advisable for a Prenatal Massage.
HAND MASSAGE: focuses around the muscles located within the hand. A variety of techniques are used during a hand massage such as frictions, trigger pointing skin rolling and acupressure. The different techniques used help to decrease acute pain, reduce the effects of surgery, increase relaxation and decrease scarring.
Hot Stone Massage
Smooth stones are heated and then lubricated with oil or essential oils, the therapeutic effects of heat are used to relax muscles more deeply. Used as an extension of the therapist’s hands, the use of massage stones induces deep relaxation and provides a unique experience many find to be tremendously calming and centering. Add-On for 90 Minute Swedish Massage or 90 Minute Deep Tissue Massage. Not advisable as an Add-On to a Prenatal Massage.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage is a style of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy is a time when a woman's body endures tremendous stress due to dramatic physical and emotional changes. Using various techniques specially developed for the expecting mother, Pregnancy Massage helps release the pain and discomfort experienced throughout pregnancy. The benefits are profound, including emotional support, the relief of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance, and improved breathing and relaxation.
Sports Massage
Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function.
Stretching Therapy
Stretching helps improve muscle and tissue performance. It may also help decrease the risk of injury. Not advisable for a Prenatal Massage.
