A A Winning Combination
Optimal healing occurs when the body and mind are in a state of relaxation. Our intention for each session is to create a safe place for the horse to guide us in what they need and communicate how they feel. Combining techniques from many styles of body work and a solid understanding of functional anatomy allows us to gain insight and create change.
Body Work
As a certified equine body worker Rachel believes there is no substitute for a hands on connection. While PEMF is a potent and effective modality and can provide insight into your horses condition; massage, manual assessment of the tissue, a good feel, a well trained eye and a deep understanding of the body are essential when striving for optimal function.
Bodywork uses advanced techniques of soft tissue manipulation. This process lengthens areas of “true” shortened tissue and reeducates muscles for proper movement, all of which leads to:
-
Identification of tension patterns
-
Decreased pain
-
Better range of motion
-
Healthier posture
Galaxy Equine Wellness takes pride in communicating what we see and feel throughout each session with your horse.
