Equine Bodyworks in Wellington, Florida Tailored Therapies That Works with Your Horse, Not Against It
Horse-Apeutics uses a range of gentle, non-invasive techniques to support your horse’s posture, performance, and comfort. Every treatment plan begins with a comprehensive assessment and evolves based on your horse’s needs.
Animal Neuro-Myofascial Release (ANMR)
Gentle Touch. Real Alignment.
ANMR is a soft tissue technique that helps release tension, restore alignment, and improve your horse’s natural movement. Using light pressure and a specialized tool, we work with your horse’s nervous system to relieve pain and rebalance the body.
Benefits include:
- Relieves sore muscles and chronic pain
- Improves range of motion and flexibility
- Supports posture and spinal alignment
- Encourages calm, focused behavior
Ideal for horses showing stiffness, uneven gait, or resistance under saddle.
Craniosacral Therapy (CST)
Reset the Nervous System. Calm the Body.
Craniosacral therapy uses light, intentional touch to relieve pressure and tension around the brain and spinal cord. It's especially helpful for horses that seem anxious, head-shy, or neurologically off.
What it can help with:
- Headaches, TMJ pain, or head-shyness
- Behavioral changes related to discomfort
- Subtle neurological imbalances
- Stress and tension release
A deeply relaxing experience for your horse—many even fall asleep during treatment.
Kinesiology Taping
Support Without Restriction.
Kinesiology tape is applied to specific areas of your horse’s body to support muscles, reduce inflammation, and aid in recovery. It moves with your horse, offering gentle support without limiting motion.
Benefits include:
- Helps with muscle strains or soreness
- Encourages lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling
- Aids in joint stabilization during rehab
- Improves posture and movement awareness
Perfect after intense training, injury, or bodywork sessions.
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)
Pain Relief Without Medication.
TENS therapy uses small electrical pulses to help manage pain by stimulating nerves in a non-invasive way. It’s especially useful for horses with chronic musculoskeletal issues.
Why choose TENS therapy:
- Reduces pain from arthritis, back soreness, or injuries
- Enhances healing by improving circulation
- Safe and adaptable for sensitive horses
- Non-pharmaceutical and drug-free
TENS can be added to your horse’s care plan as needed for relief and comfort.
Core Stability Training
Strong Core. Balanced Movement.
Core stability is key for healthy movement, injury prevention, and athletic performance. These exercises strengthen the deep muscles that support your horse’s spine, balance, and coordination.
Benefits of core work:
- Improves collection and engagement
- Reduces back tension and compensatory strain
- Supports recovery from injury or poor posture
- Boosts performance in all disciplines
From groundwork to mounted transitions, we guide safe and effective exercises tailored to your horse.
Stability Pad Training
Balance Begins from the Ground Up.
Standing and moving on specially designed stability pads challenges your horse’s balance and coordination. This low-impact training activates small stabilizing muscles and improves body awareness.
Ideal for:
- Horses in rehab or retraining
- Improving proprioception and muscle tone
- Building confidence on uneven terrain
- Developing sure-footedness and calm focus
We introduce pads slowly, always reading your horse’s comfort and response.
Proprioceptive Stretching (PNF Technique)
Flexible, Strong, and Free to Move.
Stretching is more than just pulling a limb—it’s a conversation with your horse’s nervous system. Our approach uses Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) to safely increase range of motion and re-pattern how your horse moves.
Stretching helps with:
- Flexibility and joint mobility
- Muscle recovery and reduced tension
- Better movement coordination and balance
- Injury prevention and rehabilitation
Used consistently, it enhances everything from basic movement to elite performance.
