The horse's body has natural intelligence to heal itself, but they need support to maintain optimal comfort and function.
Horses rely on movement as part of their survival -- and they develop restriction, habitual patterns, and compensate after minor accidents in life just as people do. Daily stressors accumulate over time, stored in the body, and can cause problems like stiffness, lameness, compensation, or inconsistent performance.
Bodywork is ideally leveraged as part of a horse's routine preventive care, however, it is also a transformative method for healing past trauma and physical challenges.
We'll work together to better understand reasons for discomfort and personalize a mindful approach that truly works with your horse's body and mind.

John Barnes Equine Myofascial Release is a gentle and effective type of bodywork that relieves tight connective tissues, called fascia. This method is different than equine massage in the way that it applies a slow, sustained stretch to the fascial system in order to elongate, hydrate, and decompress the body. It offers a "reset" to the network of tissues to return them to a more supple and functional state of being. Myofascial Release helps relieve the pressure surrounding muscles, bones, nerves and creates more space in the body.
