Unfortunately due to my ongoing health problems and continuous treatment for the foreseeable future I am no longer able to work in such a physically demanding job. So i have made the very tough decision to close down my business after 2 years 🥹

It has been a brilliant couple of years and I couldn't have made it this far without the support of my fantastic clients, I have learnt so much along the way, met some wonderful people and beautiful horses, made friends for life - I have loved every minute.

I never thought I could build my own business from scratch and it has been a huge achievement in my life to do so, but I now have to solely focus on family and my own health going forward ❤️

Understanding how muscles work is one of the most fundamental concepts that can influence how we ride and train our horses. Movement is created by the skeletal muscles pulling on the bones to operate the joints. Every bone is moved by a muscle. The muscles cross either one joint or several. The long...

Another one for the Optimus Therapy Tech! 🐶

Little legs Lana came back to training with a BANG, following a few months out for a routine spay- Her recovery massively helped by the incredible Optimus Therapy Tech Lumina Device🥰

Red light therapy increases rate of wound healing, and reduced inflammation, along with the antimicrobial and antibacterial effect of blue light meant that her wound was able to heal quickly and efficiently so she could get back to mischief and her self in no time! 😝

We feel this device is a must have for any sport companion or pet, having found so many uses from speeding wound healing, to pain relief and increase blood flow for muscular/joint injuries.

It's super easy to use and easy to hold to treat your furry friend simply even whilst just chilling on the sofa 🤩

Pssst- we even have a cheeky discount code for our followers wanting to give it a try!

A fantastic piece of kit I have purchased recently- really looking forward to seeing the results in my clients horses with this ✅😄

The rental scheme offered here for pet owners from Optimus I think is a brilliant offer for in-between sessions with your regular therapist 🐴✨

🤔 Why I use additional equipment when treating horses -

✨ The Equilibrium massage pad is fantastic for encouraging initial relaxation, helping the horse to gain as much as possible from the session.

✨ The Epiony heat pad soothes sore areas detected on initial palpation, so when I use hands on techniques the horse is more comfortable and accepting of deeper massage movements.

✨ The Optimus therapy tech /Vetcare Photizo laser/blue light device I use as an added extra whenever required- soothing arthritic joints, using initially on areas too sore to touch ( for example under the saddle area ), encouraging the healing of surface cuts / grazes and old injuries, encouraging circulation and reducing inflammation and scar tissue.

✅ Use of equipment NEVER should replace or reduce the amount of hands on techniques included in a full body sports massage session. They are purely to assist with initial tissue warming & relaxation 🥰
