Please give us a short summary of your website?
I am an Equine Manual Therapist in Oregon specializing in soft tissue injuries and rehabilitation. I provide integrated physical therapy with a holistic approach for horses on all competitive and non-competitive levels. The main focus is to provide an injured horse a speedier and more complete recovery than if left alone, enabling a faster return for the training and a healthy career.
Whether a competitive or pleasure riding horse, some major areas of physical discomfort may be muscle strain, ligament/tendon stress or injuries, loss of range of motion resulting from restrictions or past trauma, joint erosion, and other chronic or hard-to-heal injuries. My holistic approach is to initiate the body's own healing process, find the underlying causes that may prevent the horse from the complete healing by integrating a variety of techniques depending on the needs of the individual animal.
