Equine Myo-Manipulative Functional Therapy

---

An initial visit usually takes between 1 and 2 hours. During this time, I will gather a history of the animal, do a full body relaxation massage, evaluate for problem areas, and work on those problem areas. First visits usually take longer than return visits because it can take a little longer to get a horse to release their problem areas the first time they’re worked on. 

The length of this visit truly depends on each individual animal. During these sessions, I will take note of any changes since the last visit, do a full-body relaxation massage, and work on problem areas.

You can add a tack fit check, where I can help with basic saddle fit, ensuring that the girth fits as it should, check that the bridle sits as it should, and give pointers on any other tack you use. 

You can add ridden movement evaluation to any of my services. You, or the usual rider, will be asked to ride at all gaits that the animal is capable of doing. I will note any differences in movement between being ridden and in hand and can shed light on why your animal may be moving the way they are under-saddle.  This is not included in any of the listed packages and must be added on if you would like to include this service. 

I charge government mileage fees. As of 2023, that is 65.5 cents per mile. This price will change year to year to reflect the current government fee. I charge 1-way trip fees. For an estimation of your fee, use the animal's location as point 1, and Bridgeport WV as point 2. I will be able to give you a more accurate estimate if you contact me with a list of dates. I am not always in Bridgeport so your trip fee may be more or less than the estimate.
