Equine Osteopathic Treatments
Osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on treatment that helps horses release tension, restore balance, and feel good in their body.
With my experience in horse psychology, training, riding coaching, and bodywork, I bring a holistic understanding of how the horse’s body, mind, and emotions are all connected.
I don’t come in to “fix” a horse—I collaborate with them. I listen. I observe. I allow the horse to show me what’s going on, and I respond with techniques that support their whole being.
When a horse feels good in their body, they become more open, willing, and comfortable in their work and in their relationship with the human. Movement improves. Tension softens. Understanding deepens.
These treatments can help your horse:
-
Release physical tension and discomfort
-
Improve balance, flexibility, and movement
-
Recover from overload or past issues
-
Relax emotionally and mentally
-
Prevent long-term challenges by restoring natural balance
This is how it works
Osteopathy is based on the idea that all parts of the body are connected—and that balance, mobility, and internal flow are essential for health and performance.
When one area of the horse’s body becomes restricted, tense, or overloaded, it affects the rest of the system. The horse may compensate in movement, develop uneven posture, experience pain, or simply not feel “quite right.”
During a treatment, I use gentle, targeted techniques to:
-
Detect areas of imbalance or restriction
-
Release tension in soft tissues, joints, and fascia
-
Encourage healthy circulation, lymph flow, and nerve function
-
Support better coordination between the body and nervous system
Osteopathy also supports the autonomic nervous system—helping the horse shift from stress and reactivity into a calm, relaxed state where healing can happen. When the body regains balance, the horse can move more freely, feel more comfortable, and become more emotionally settled as well.
The result isn’t just physical—it often shows up in behavior, mood, and willingness to connect.
