I was lucky enough to be apart of the Stavely School career fair today! I loved meeting all of the eager young kids and telling them all about the profession of Equine Osteopathy! My two kiddos even stopped by to say Hi! I love spreading the word about Osteopathy, and its incredible benefits to not just horses, but humans, and dogs as well!

Dr Still (the founder of Osteopathy)’s advice to ‘find health’ speaks to the understanding that even when an animal is experiencing dysfunction, there is a reservoir of innate health potential that exists. By identifying and addressing the root cause(s); finding the best entry point for treatment; operating at a pace that is acceptable to the animal; and allowing the animal time to assimilate the treatment and make the necessary changes, we can provide the conditions necessary for recovery from the dysfunctional state and help facilitate the animal's natural healing process and return to health.

Lots have been asking…and the answer is YES! I am officially working on dogs! Canine osteopathy is a manual practice performed on dogs just as it is on your equine athletes! By creating mobility through addressing all aspects of the body (musculoskeletal, visceral, craniosacral systems), my goal as a practitioner is to bring the body back into balance and restoring homeostasis, and most importantly, letting the body use its own methods of healing!

If you are interested in booking an appointment for your canine partners, please call or text!
