Frequently Asked Questions
Equine Bodywork Q&A
Initial documentation of your horse’s confirmation and muscling symmetry, a full report after each session which is e-mailed to you with instructions on exercises, stretches, and things to work on to extend the benefits.
Any age. Introducing body work to a young horse has benefits. For example, getting a solid baseline for their “normal” body before they are asked to work. Young horses will also benefit from being touched all over during a bodywork session. Older horses, geriatrics, have most likely adapted to conditions that they have been living with. The goal with bodywork on older horses is to keep them comfortable and functionally sound, not to “fix” them at an older age since their body has already adapted to chronic issues they have.
Most horses that are in a regular bodywork program will not be sore. It is good for them to have at least a 10 minute walk within two hours after their session.
Preferably after exercise or on a day off. A walk and/or turnout is recommended within two hours after the session. If your horse is on a regular bodywork schedule, normal exercise may resume the following day.
Preferably not on the same day as dentistry and vaccines. I recommend bodywork to resume at least 3 days after joint injections.
