Comprehensive Equine Rehabilitation Services
At Equine Kneads, we understand the anxiety and concern that arise when your cherished horse faces an injury, chronic pain, or performance challenges. It's not just about physical well-being; it's about preserving a partnership, a source of joy, and a connection that runs deep.
That's why we don't just offer therapies; we offer a lifeline, a pathway to healing that is as gentle and compassionate as it is effective. We treat every horse as an individual with unique needs and challenges. Rehabilitating an equine athlete isn't a one-size-fits-all endeavor; it requires a careful blend of science, expertise, and a deep understanding of each horse's physiological and emotional needs.
That's where we come in.
Our equine rehabilitation services are far from generic. Instead, we offer highly customized therapies rooted in a team approach that involves veterinarians, farriers, trainers, and, of course, you—the horse owner.
Leveraging a wealth of knowledge in therapeutic massage, cupping, neuromuscular therapy, craniosacral therapy, cryotherapy, and PEMF, we work in close collaboration with the care team to create a targeted, effective treatment plan.
Whether your horse is recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or optimizing performance, Equine Kneads provides a holistic pathway toward better health and well-being for your equine partner. Read on to learn more about our unique approach to equine rehabilitation, the range of therapies we offer, and how we can help your horse reach its fullest potential.
Our Approach to Equine Rehabilitation: A Team-Based Pathway to Healing
Rehabilitating a horse is a journey that involves not just the animal and the therapist, but an entire team of care professionals. At Equine Kneads, we work closely with veterinarians, farriers, trainers, and owners to ensure that your horse receives a comprehensive, tailored rehabilitation plan. Here's how our approach works:
Initial Assessment
Collaboration with Care Team
Treatment Plan Formation
Step 1: The Initial Assessment
Before we begin any form of therapy, the horse undergoes a thorough initial assessment. Conducted by our trained and certified therapists, this assessment covers:
-
Physical Examination: Checking for signs of pain, stiffness, or physical imbalances.
-
Gait Analysis: Observing the horse’s movements to identify any irregularities.
-
Veterinary Records: Reviewing available medical history, imaging, and any specific recommendations from the veterinarian.
The initial assessment provides the foundation upon which we build the treatment plan, ensuring that the therapies selected are the most appropriate for each horse’s specific condition and needs.
Step 2: Collaboration With The Care Team
When your horse enters our care, they become part of a collaborative community dedicated to their recovery. Post-assessment, we convene with the entire care team to discuss the findings and options for treatment. This collaborative approach allows us to:
-
Integrate Inputs: We combine expertise from veterinarians, farriers, trainers, and owners to make informed decisions.
-
Holistic View: Through collaboration, we can address not just symptoms but the root causes of the horse's issues, whether they are physical, behavioral, or environmental.
-
Customization: This team input enables us to tailor therapies specifically to each horse, rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all model.
Step 3: Treatment Plan Formation
After gathering all necessary information and insights, we develop a tailored treatment plan. This plan includes:
-
Therapies: Lists the recommended therapies such as therapeutic massage, cupping, neuromuscular therapy, craniosacral therapy, cryotherapy, and PEMF.
-
Sequencing: Specifies the order and frequency of therapies for optimal results.
-
Review: Before implementation, the plan is reviewed and approved by the veterinarian and other team members to ensure it meets the horse's specific medical and physical needs.
Why do we do our equine rehab in this collaborative way?
By following these steps, we ensure that your horse is not just receiving treatment, but is undergoing a thoughtful, collaborative, and effective rehabilitation process. Together, we'll help your horse achieve better health, performance, and overall well-being.
