Full Bodywork Session
A full bodywork session consists of a full body visual analysis, looking for areas of overdevelopment and atrophy. Then, Rachel will analyze your equine partner's movement style and do a full body hands on scan. She will then work on addressing the whole body, focusing on trouble spots as they come along using modalities and massage to relax the soft tissues. The goal is to always work with a horse in a relaxed state so they can get the most out of the bodywork. Prices vary on location. Includes 15min with the BEMER blanket.

DISCLAIMER: Bodywork is NOT a replacement for veterinary attention. A lame or sick horse without veterinary care should not receive bodywork.
