Join us on a journey towards a happier, healthier, and more balanced-in-their-body horse. Experience the difference that Integrative Equine Bodywork can make in your horse’s life.
Integrative Equine Bodywork is dedicated to enhancing the health, quality of life, and performance of horses. They offer specialized equine bodywork, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation services. Their clientele is diverse, ranging from pleasure riders to Olympic-level riders and trainers, covering all levels of performance horses, including maintenance and acute rehab cases.
The approach at Integrative Equine Bodywork is holistic and comprehensive. They use a variety of hands-on bodywork techniques, such as scraping, cupping, and Kinesiotape, to address musculoskeletal issues, reduce discomfort, and improve mobility. Education is a key component of their service; they work closely with horse owners, providing them with knowledge about the importance of regular bodywork and tailored exercises and stretches for their horses.
Equine rehabilitation is a specialized field focused on the recovery and overall well-being of horses who have suffered from injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions. This process involves a variety of techniques and practices aimed at restoring the horse’s strength, mobility, and functionality, ensuring a safe and effective return to their regular activities or performance levels.
The ultimate goal of equine rehabilitation is not just to bring the horse back to its pre-injury state but also to address underlying issues that may have contributed to the injury, thereby reducing the risk of future problems. This field requires specialized knowledge and skills, as the anatomy and physiology of horses present unique challenges compared to other animals. As such, professionals in this field are typically highly trained in equine health and rehabilitation techniques.
BEMER products for horses are designed to provide supportive therapy using advanced technology. These products include a blanket and cuffs that incorporate Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) technology. This technology is specifically used to improve circulation and promote healing, recovery, and regeneration in horses. The BEMER products are FDA registered as animal medical devices and are approved by the FEI (Fédération Equestre Internationale). They are available in 42 countries and are utilized for a variety of equine health issues, including inflammation, pain, stiffness, injuries, and wounds. Additionally, these products have been shown to enhance suppleness and performance in both training and competitions.
The BEMER Horse-Set, which includes the horse blanket and two cuffs, is engineered for full-body applications. The cuffs are specifically designed for use on the front and rear legs, as well as other targeted areas of the horse’s body. This set is known to promote healing and recovery, support regeneration, and enhance suppleness. Suppleness is particularly important as it is a prerequisite for a horse’s motivation and willingness to learn, allowing for more effective exercise. The BEMER Horse-Set also aids in helping horses relax more easily both before and after exercise, contributing to their overall well-being and performance.
Dynamic saddles for horses represent a significant innovation in equestrian equipment, designed to enhance both the comfort and performance of the horse and rider. Unlike traditional saddles, which are often rigid and can restrict movement, dynamic saddles are engineered to move with the horse’s body, allowing for greater flexibility and range of motion. This adaptability is crucial, particularly in competitive riding, where the precision and fluidity of the horse’s movements can be pivotal. The dynamic nature of these saddles helps in reducing pressure points on the horse’s back, thereby minimizing the risk of soreness or injury. This is especially important for horses engaged in high-intensity activities like jumping, dressage, or endurance riding.
Equine performance enhancement is a multifaceted approach focused on improving the athletic capabilities and overall well-being of horses, particularly those engaged in competitive sports like racing, show jumping, dressage, and eventing. This process involves a combination of training, nutrition, healthcare, and the use of specialized equipment.

Performance enhancement in horses is a holistic approach that requires attention to physical training, nutrition, health, mental well-being, and the judicious use of technology and equipment. When these elements are combined effectively, they lead to a horse that is not only capable of achieving outstanding athletic feats but also enjoys a high quality of life.
