About Our Healing Modalities
PEMF Therapy
Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field Therapy
I am one of the few to have a Mag Disc with hoof attachments in North Texas to better treat hoof aliments such as laminitis, founder, Navicular, fractures and tears in tendons and ligaments. Mitochondria, the battery packs of your cells, and how strong they are affects everything you do. What if you could charge up your mitochondria directly — in a sense, plug them in? PEMF therapy comes pretty close. The PEMF device sends a pulsing electromagnetic field through the coil, deep into the body. As the electromagnetic field pulses, the cell membrane is gently pulled. On the off phase of the pulse, the cell membrane is relaxed. As the cells expand and relax, the cell membrane becomes more permeable, and is better able to release waste, toxins and inflammation and receive oxygen and nutrients. This receiving of oxygen and releasing of waste is what increases the natural charge of the cell.
PEMF helps the body to optimize its own self-healing and support regulating properties. This cellular exercise is profoundly beneficial and unique to PEMF. The presence of a visual pulsing of the muscles may suggest cells with low cellular function which may be caused by stress, injury, illness, or muscular imbalance. PEMF is not used to diagnose but it is a tool in the toolbox for any horse, human or your beloved pet.
Conditions that PEMF can assist with provide support for a wide range of equine issues. Performance stress & body soreness, soreness of the back, stifle, joints, neck, poll, TMJ, shoulder or hooves, soft tissue injuries – bruised or torn muscles, tendons & ligaments, hoof abscess, stone bruises, conditions of age (Arthritis, Cushing Disease) Systemic illness & immunity issues, Anhidrosis, and Free Fecal Water Syndrome.

Equine Sports Massage Therapy
Equine Sports Massage Therapy is the therapeutic application of hands-on deep tissue techniques to the voluntary muscle system - for the purpose of increasing circulation, reducing muscle spasms, relieving tension, enhancing muscle tone, promoting healing and increasing range of motion in all breeds of horses. I also use myofascial release techniques and the use of blades to help the fascial system during massage work.
Conditions exist that Equine Sports Massage Therapy can provide support for and assist with a wide range of good results. Performance stress & body soreness, soreness of the back, stifle, joints, neck, poll, TMJ, shoulder or hooves, soft tissue injuries – bruised or torn muscles, tendons & ligaments, hoof abscess, stone bruises, conditions of age (Arthritis, Cushing Disease) Systemic illness & immunity issues.

Kinesiology Taping
Kinesiology Taping
Equine kinesiology taping is a physiotherapy treatment and has various applications. It can be applied between competitive elements of many international equine events to speed recovery and improve endurance. In training, it alleviates discomfort from acute and chronic injuries.
By taping your horse’s hair, you’re actually simulating the hair follicle, which originates in the second layer of skin, lifting it up, and bringing blood flow to areas to help with pain or stress. Taping gives him support and pain relief.
It gently allows the free flow of blood and lymphatic fluid to cleanse and heal the inflammation without the use of medications or surgery. This special tape helps to improve circulation, support muscles, allow the internal injury to heal, and help prevent further muscle injury while still allowing normal range of motion.
Kinesiology tape can help decrease your horse’s pain sensation while also improving blood flow to the area, allowing the area to heal quicker and mobilize lactic acid and other metabolic waste that is contributing to the pain sensation.
