We are trained in a number of techniques and modalities and as such offer a variety of options for your bodywork sessions.

The most popular session types and techniques are listed below, but we are able to tailor our approach and techniques used for a general wellness and maintenance session or a more targeted plan for a specific reason based on your horse's requirements, so we can create a different option if needed - pricing may change depending on what you need and the time required to carry out the session.

You do not need to have the same type of session at each appointment, but you do need to let us know in advance if you want something different to normal so we can schedule time accordingly.

New clients usually require a longer session for a full assessment.

Prices for a new client session are slightly higher than follow up sessions.

It is necessary for either the owner or trainer/caregiver for the horse to be present for this first session.

If after we assess your horse, we think a different modality or approach from that chosen, or an additional service will be more beneficial for your horse we may recommend a change of plan.

A distance based travel fee will apply and will depend on our location - this will be waived for multiple horses.

I also try to set up barns in the same area in the same day to avoid fees for people where possible.

Your horse should be clean and easily accessible or you may be charged a catch/grooming fee.

Most techniques do not require down time from work, but some do, please discuss this prior to your appointment.

Please see further down the page for our equine new client form.

PEMF & Light Therapy is also available for small animals & humans - pricing dependent on session time.

We are always happy to demo our equipment used and provide owners with tools & techniques to use themselves and often have equipment available to rent when a horse needs daily use for a period of time.

General Wellness Session $85/$100

This session includes, a brief static assessment of your horse, it does not include hands on bodywork.

Application of MagnaWave PEMF, light therapy pads and/or photopuncture based on the assessment.

This session is also appropriate for pre/post performance.

$100 is the price for a new client session, follow up is $85.

General Wellness PLUS Session $100/$115

This session is the same as the General Wellness Session, except that it also includes the application of the Niagara Equissage Pulse Cyclonic Therapy in addition to PEMF & Light Therapy.

Niagara Equissage Pulse $50/$65

This is a standalone 20 mins session of Niagara Equissage Pulse Cyclonic Therapy.

It does not include any other therapy or assessment.

It is appropriate for pre/post performance.

$65 is the price of a new client first session, $50 for follow up.

Manual Therapy Session $100/$125

I no longer call my manual therapy "massage" as it's a culmination of many techniques I have learned and is a combination of them all.

It is less "rubbing on muscles" deep tissue/sports massage and more myofascial release/energy hold, positional release, cranial sacral in nature, but may include traditional massage therapy type techniques and trigger point work also.

The session starts with a static assessment of your horse.

This session can be tailored for pre/post performance, however depending on the techniques used, your horse may need to be off work the same day and in light work the next day.

First Sessions for new clients will be $125, follow ups $100.

Manual Therapy PLUS Session $125/$150

This session includes a combination of manual therapies and MagnaWave PEMF.

It may also include light therapy where appropriate.

This session can be tailored for pre/post performance, but some techniques may require your horse to be off work the same day and/or in lighter work the following day.

First sessions for new clients will be $150, follow ups will be $125.

Tensegrity Balancing Therapy $150/$200

This session is based on specific manual techniques developed and taught by Tami Elkayam - Elkayam Equine Therapy.

We start with a comprehensive static and dynamic assessment of your horse, photographs that will be marked up for comparison with later sessions.

We then move on to applying techniques that are designed to both assess and affect the horse simultaneously.

Techniques used are very quiet and gentle, but can have a profound effect on the horse's nervous system and consequently proprioception and posture.

The session ends with a re-assessment of the horse.

Your horse will need to be off work the same day and possibly also the next day.

This session includes teaching you homework exercises to be completed between sessions.

First sessions for new clients will be $200, follow up sessions will be $150. The price of these sessions is higher due to the dynamic assessment, photograph work up and the demo of techniques for you to use between sessions.

Acupressure $100

This session starts with a comprehensive Traditional Chinese Medicine Assessment, this includes both static and dynamic evaluation as well as taking a verbal history and assessing coat, hooves etc.

TCM assessment includes a bladder meridian sweep and assessment of the association and subsequent alarm points if necessary.

Point work is then chosen based on the assessment. We will also give you points to use with your horse yourself, either between sessions with us or to use for the specific issue the horse was presented for.

It is possible to use acupressure points for general wellness as well as for pre/post performance purposes, however if we are working with your horse with acupressure for a specific condition, it may be necessary for your horse to be off work the same day.

Because of the nature of the acupressure session there is not *first session* upcharge as we complete the same assessment each time and the length of the session generally does not vary too much.

Full Light Therapy Session $85

This session includes use of both light therapy pads that velcro or strap onto the horse's body, as well as hand held devices for specific problem areas.

Some examples of a problem area may be, an area of pain, muscle spasms, trigger points, tension, tendon or ligament injury, scar or wound.

This session may include photopuncture, which is the use of a light therapy device on Acupoints.

This session does not include an assessment of your horse or hands on bodywork, it only includes application of the devices, if you would like to add other methods and assessments please just ask.

Problem Area Light Therapy Session $75

This session involves the use of a light therapy hand held device or pad on a specific area of your horse's body for a specific reason.

This can be applied to the horse's back, neck, limbs etc depending on the issue you want to address.

We have a number of different devices available depending on the issue and are happy to discuss a plan with your vet. Devices are also available for short term rental for existing clients.

This session does not include an assessment of your horse or any hands on body work, just the application of equipment to your horse. If you require additional methods please just ask.

Kinesiology Taping $25+

Kinesiology Taping can be added to your existing bodywork session, post session. It has been said to extend the benefits of bodywork.

It can also be applied as a standalone modality or for a specific issue or concern.

We are also available to teach you how to tape your own horse, starting with our intro class and working up to Equi-Tape Practicums for Practitioners.

We use Equi-Tape for all our applications.

As with all modalities that can be used for rehab and recovery, we are happy to work with your vet to create a plan for your horse.

Price varies depending on whether we are simply applying an application to your horse, providing a full work up and assessment or teaching you how to tape in a group or one on one setting. Tape is also available to purchase.

Equine Stability Pads $100

This session is very much led by the horse. If the horse is unfamiliar with the pads it may take some time for them to want to stand on them - if at all in the first session.

Although some horses are very forward and want to stand on lots of pads fairly quickly, this session is very much about giving the horse a choice, observing their reaction and processing and building up to work on the pads over time - if you have seen use of the pads on social media with stacked pads on all four legs and under saddle, this is something that very much gets built up to over time.

We have all the different pads available and are happy to recommend choices to you that you may wish to purchase to work with your horse yourself.

This session does not include an assessment of your horse in any other situation than how they respond to the pads, and does not include hands on bodywork.

IASTM & Cupping

We are trained in a number of soft tissue mobilization techniques designed to address adhesions & scar tissue, work on fascia and decompress tissues.

We have various stone gua sha and stainless steel blade tools as well as silicone cups that can be utilized during your bodywork session or as a standalone technique to address a specific issue.

Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Custom Appointment

It is possible to "stack" or "layer" many of the options offered. We an also adjust the assessment of your horse as required, from a brief static assessment to a more comprehensive dynamic assessment, a full TCM assessment and even a photographic/video workup.

Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Pricing will depend on the length of the appointment and the options required.

FORMS & DOCUMENTATION

**PLEASE NOTE**

Alternative Therapies are NOT a replacement for veterinary medicine, care or diagnosis. I cannot diagnose, prescribe medicine for, apply invasive treatment to or make skeletal adjustments to your horse (for example chiropractic or acupuncture). ALL of those things require you to be a Licensed Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM). I can only perform the specific modalities for which I am certified. If I encounter anything that I believe requires veterinary intervention I am obligated to inform you to consult with your primary veterinarian or other equine professional, such as your farrier or saddle fitter.

**veterinary clearance**

You are required to complete a new client form prior to any session taking place. The Veterinary Board of Texas requires your primary veterinarian confirms alternative therapy is appropriate for your horse.

**This is a legal requirement of the State of Texas and there will be NO exception.**

There are contraindications to alternative therapies; if your horse presents with a contraindication you will be referred back to your veterinarian for additional clearance prior to us being able to work with your horse.

Your veterinarian is welcome to contact me directly to discuss an appropriate plan for your horse.
