Welcome

Although equine body work can incorporate a variety of services and modalities, the basis lies in equine sports massage. Per regulations of the International Equine Body Workers Association (IEBWA), equine body workers (EBW) belonging to the association are required to, at a minimum, be trained in equine sports massage. Equine body work can aid in relaxation, the relief of muscular pain and stiffness as well as provide an increased range of motion, enhanced performance and gait quality, and increased circulation which can aid in healing and repairing injuries. Since most behavioral issues are often a result of or a reaction to pain or discomfort, equine body work can improve a horse’s disposition by helping to relieve that pain. By contacting an EBW, you are also incorporating another individual into horse’s healthcare team that can provide an educated observation of your horse’s physical condition.
