Equine BODY WORKERS & CANINE BODY WORKERS

What is Equine Body Work?

This therapy is based upon Equine Sports Massage however, it also utilises a variety of other massage techniques and other complementary therapies to help the horse. The treatment consists of a full body massage and stretching routines. Equine Body Work can have many benefits including:

	relaxation of the body and mind;
	increased range of motion;
	increased stride and quality and increased flexibility; and
	improved circulation.

What is Canine Body Work?

Body Work for Canines is also available so that dogs can also benefit - typically dogs can obtain benefits similar to those listed above for horses. Many types of dogs can benefit from canine body work - from puppies to aged dogs, working and agility dogs to show dogs and as part of rehabilitation programmes.

Choosing a Canine or Equine Body Work therapist

It is very important, as with all complementary therapies to use qualified practicioners only and to remember that no therapy is a substitute for veterinary care. Remember - It is an offence for any person, other than the owner of the animal, to treat an animal unless the permission of the vet in charge of the case or to whom the animal would be referred is sought and obtained.

Qualified Equine and Canine Body Workers will normally be registered with the International Equine Body Worker Association (IEBWA) - who require that members are fully insured, plus that they carry out a number of hours of continued professional education each year, so that their skills and knowledge are maintained and enhanced. Therefore it is advised that you use certified Equine or Canine Body Workers who are members of the IEBWA.
