Algarve Equine Therapy

Algarve Equine Therapy Equine Sport's massage for injured horses, or for monthly maintenance I do not use invasive or harsh techniques- it’s all very gentle and passive.

Hi everyone, I am an ESMT iii dip ICAT - fully qualified Sport Horse Therapist (level 3), Master Bodyworker, and Trigger Point specialist. My specialism balances the horse’s Fascia in a whole body approach, and I seek to encourage the horse’s body back into natural harmony. Over 15 years ago I qualified with a distinction diploma from the Institute of complimentary animal therapies in the UK, and

have been helping horses Internationally since. I've assisted racehorses AND animal cruelty cases in Cyprus, and now I am in the Algarve. Of course, after over 15 years of working as a therapist, I have become MUCH more than my qualifications as an ESMT , Trigger point therapist etc, and have developed my own style and approach to treating horses. I’m sure if my original instructor Julie Boxhall should watch me work now, she’d laugh and say “that’s not in the course “ �. I get results and I’m proud of my massive accomplishments. My work is unique to me. There are many forms of Equine therapy and I mainly use the Swedish techniques of Myofascial release (deep and shallow muscular tissue work) with lymphatic drainage and toxin flush. I incorporate some reiki and Shiatsu along with Trigger Point Therapy and remedial stretches which I can teach you to help maintain your horses' balance and flexibility. An initial evaluation can take 1 hr, or more, and I check all your horses tack to form a balanced opinion of what is going on. Follow up massages may take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and forty five minutes, it is tailor made for your horse and his/her needs. You will need to be present as some horses will need to be held and reassured by their owner that what I am doing is helping them. I am also an FEI permitted equine therapist and hold FEI ID and insurance. I regularly attend and treat top athletic horses at the showjumping tours at Vilamoura Equestrian Center and I have consistent excellent results.

My Story

Hi everyone, I am a fully qualified Equine Sport's massage therapist (ESMT LEVEL 3 - the highest achievable, Master level)and Equine Trigger Point Therapist. I am a Permitted therapist which means that I may use my skills at all FEI events, such as the Olympics! You need to pass an exam and obtain a permit for this.

Over ten years ago I qualified with a distinction diploma from the Institute of complimentary animal therapies in the UK, and have been helping horses Internationally since. I've assisted racehorses AND animal cruelty cases in Cyprus, and trust me, when I say cruelty, I mean things from your nightmares. I have worked in the UK and now I am in the Algarve and travel abroad too, where there are groups needing my services (message for info).

There are many forms of Equine physiotherapy and I use the Swedish technique of Myofascial release (deep and shallow muscular tissue work). I incorporate some reiki and Shiatsu along with remedial stretches which I can teach you to help maintain your horse’s balance and flexibility. Most ridden horses become crooked over time, or manifest muscular tension due to natural physical imbalances, or weaknesses. Let’s face it, many of us riders are also crooked, or not so knowledgable when it comes to keeping horses straight - so it makes sense that we pass on our crookedness to our horses too. One tip for this, check your stirrup lengths! Many crooked riders will have one stirrup longer than the other.

Symptoms of an imbalanced horse can be - Bucking. Failing to take the correct lead. Crookedness. Falling out through the shoulder, High head-carriage and hollow back. Refusing to take the bit, or snapping at the girth. High tension and spookiness. Rearing. General unhappiness and even lameness.
