Every few months there’s a brand-new “game changing” modality on the market: MagnaWave, cryotherapy, Acuscope/Myopulse, EquiVibe, red light, PEMF, lasers, massage guns… it never stops.

And the question I get all the time is:

“Which one is THE best?”

Here’s the calm, honest answer:

👉 The value isn’t in the machine. It’s in the practitioner knowing how to read your horse.
👉 Tools don’t make decisions — people do.

A $15,000 device doesn’t matter if the person using it can’t see:
- where the horse is guarding
- compensatory patterns
- tension patterns before they turn into performance problems
- nervous system overload
- the emotional state underneath the body
- how workload, recovery, and biomechanics connect
- how to intervene strategically rather than randomly
- what belongs in the “now” and what belongs in the follow-up

And this is why bodywork is the foundation in my program, despite the tools available.

I firmly believe in using my hands first.
It’s the most honest information you will ever get from a horse and I hate to say it-
No machine has ever compared with the results.

For example:
You don’t walk into a clinic and ask for the “best drug.”
You rely on the doctor who evaluates your animal, reads the situation, and chooses the appropriate drug — not the coolest or newest one.

Same with performance therapy.
You don’t pick the tool first.
You pick the practitioner who knows what your horse needs and when they need it.

Tools can help - and the technology and science we have access to now, for our animals alone, is absolutely incredible.
But, the results come from the practitioner who knows:
- what they’re feeling under their hands
- how to interpret your horse’s reactions
- exactly where to intervene
- how today connects to your performance goals
- how to build a smart, realistic plan

So when people ask me:
“Is MagnaWave better than red light?”
“Is cryo better than vibration?”

My answer will always be:

It depends on what YOUR horse needs today — and how that fits into their performance plan.

Tools matter.
But chasing every new gadget is a hamster wheel.

I don’t bash modalities I don’t offer — but I’m also not chasing trends just to have the latest toy.

Bodywork → evaluation → strategy → then tech if needed.

Hi! 👋 If you don’t know me — I’m Leah Tucker, a licensed massage therapist and certified MagnaWave practitioner. I specialize in performance therapy for both horses and humans, focusing on keeping horse and rider performing and feeling their best as a team.

I’ve always believed it’s counterproductive to fix one half of the partnership but not the other — both horse and rider make up the athletic whole. My approach centers on finding and addressing the root of the problem, not just chasing symptoms, so every session builds long-term balance, comfort, and performance.

I work on most small and large animals as well, but my main focus is helping equine athletes and their riders stay strong, mobile, and ready to perform.

If you’d like to get on the schedule, shoot me a message or text and I’ll fit you in where I can!

I’m so thankful for everyone’s continued business and referrals this fall — I may not post as much lately, but I’ve been hard at work and truly appreciate all the support from clients, barns, and friends. Y’all keep this little business moving, and I’m grateful for it every day 🤍
