Equine Laser Therapy - Massage - Hoof Care

Robin and Dale are certified for cold laser therapy for horses and dogs. Also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and photobiomodulation (PBM), it is a form of treatment that applies low-power laser or light-emitting diodes.  It's a non-invasive treatment they have been doing for many years that helps relieve pain and inflammation through stimulation and enhancement of cell function. 

Equine laser therapy is considered a safe and painless treatment for many common conditions, such as flesh wounds, post-operative incisions, arthritis, joint, tendon, and muscular problems.

Above Robin is working on a client's donkey. You can see one of his friends lined up for a turn. These donkeys were touchy and standoffish before the treatments began, but now they love them.

Studies have highlighted the benefits of massage for horses and dogs to improve movement, reduce pain, and relieve stress.

Their practice has been influenced by many well-known therapists and incorporates aspects of their techniques.

These include trigger point therapy, myofascial release,  t-touch, guasha, effleurage, petrissage, compression, cross-fiber massage, tapotement, and more.

We have considerable experience with hoof issues such as laminitis, abscesses, white line disease, quarter cracks, corrective trimming and shoeing, and more. 

While not fanatics, we are fans of going barefoot and believe many horses being shod could successfully go barefoot.  

Riding habits, hoof health, home condition, and other factors should drive any decision about whether going barefoot is right for your horse.

If you would like to get on our schedule, Dale would be happy to help you decide whether your horse can go barefoot.
