Manual Body Work (horses only)
Corework is a unique, combined method of equine massage and bodywork in which the deeper core muscles and tissue are allowed to release, rebalance and strengthen. This work includes, along with combined manual techniques, the use of the Class IV laser, and more specifically the FES, to access these deeper areas of the body that most affect performance. There is a synergistic effect in combining techniques and tools that allows for greater results.
Advanced Healing Outcomes
Alleviates stress in muscles and joints to improve mobility, comfort, and performance, making each training session more impactful.

Myofascial Release is a manipulative treatment that releases tension in the fascia* due to trauma, posture, or inflammation. *connective tissues called fascia surround the muscles, bones, nerves, and organs of the body
Advanced Healing Outcomes:
Restores motion to muscles and the skeletal structure by elongating fascia
Improves blood and lymphatic circulation
Stimulates the stretch reflex in muscles
Eliminates pain
Enhances strength and flexibility

Manual Lymph Drainage is a gentle massage technique encouraging the natural drainage of the lymphatic system.
Advanced Healing Outcomes:
Promotes calming & relaxation by allowing the parasympathetic nervous system to predominate
Lowers sympathetic tonus in the nervous system effecting smooth muscles of blood & lymphatic system, as well as intestinal motility
Drains lymph from connective tissue
Reduces and eliminates lymphedema
Helps to bring pathogens to lymph nodes where they can be neutralized - enhancing immune response
