Hi, I am a Nationally Certified, Licensed Massage Therapist with over 10 years experience. I also own and ride horses. I had many years off, away from horses where I did not ride at all. Not only did I lose my confidence a bit when returning to riding, but I of course lost my physical conditioning. It was much harder to "get back on the horse" later in life as I discovered. Riding lessons only helped so much. I knew that there was a piece of the puzzle missing. I developed a treatment program combining Massage Therapy, Myofascial release, yoga stretches and strength training of the core muscles. Well it worked! I offer the same treatement program to clients who ride. This type of Massage and Bodywork focuses on softening and suppling the connective tissue, or fascia, that can hold us too ridgid to allow us to really feel and connect with the horse while riding. I also concentrate on passive stretches of the joints that helps facilitate a riders ability to deepend their seat. Of course I work the tight muscles and triggerpoints that are commonly a result of riding and I also suggest stretching and strengthening exercises that can be done at home to enhance the over all treatment. The entire procedure is very relaxing as well, focusing on deep abdominal breathing. A relaxed and tranquil state of mind are achieved, that when mantained during riding, will be transferred to your horse helping to soothe and comfort him, improving his wellbeing and confidence too!
