Boorman Equine Bodyworks

Was so satisfying to work on this super stoic mare yesterday. She is perfect under saddle and her ground manners indicate that she carries some tension. We started off with a craniosacral session, and her drool puddle (see second pic) was a record setter in this practice! She relaxed deeply into the cross ties, and after she understood our goal was to relax, we introduced magnawave and deeper massage, culminating in a lovely set of endorphin releases

Some lovely post horse show sessions for the hard working and winning team at Mezzi was as expressive in his endorphin releases as he was in his championship over fences rounds, with dozens of endorphin releases. Isy was more subdued but super appreciative of the poll relaxation that the pollcap enabled. Jaspar was also super expressive and kept checking in with me ahead of an endorphin release, “is this normal”? And sweet Archie was grateful for some extra love returning home. Our horses work so hard for us, and they all carry the tension in their bodies of all the try they give. It’s lovely to give comfort back in a way that supports their recovery and well being after a big effort

Photobiomodulation therapy uses light to activate the photoreceptors in cells. The mechanism works through cellular mitochondria. I use an 800mW class 3b cold laser… what determines the efficacy of this therapy for the reduction of pain and inflammation is the dose of energy delivered, the location it is applied, and the frequency of the treatment. An advantage to boarding on site at th Timberwagon Farm
equine wellness center is that it is easy to provide daily sessions for maximal efficacy!!

Balanced equine is getting rolling in NC. We are offering big new client specials!! New client Zach decides he likes the happy hat, and all the other features of a holistic session. Back at home base , it’s finally Neds turn for a session.

Boarders at the equine wellness center benefit from various holistic care options! Cinderella receives daily photobiomodulation therapy and pemf, as well as weekly massage. As she’s not allowed to have turn out just yet, she also benefits from daily handgrazing. We love getting to have all the quality time with her, and bonus, then we know her well enough that we can spot any changes before they can become a problem! ❤️❤️❤️

We use the class 3b cold laser for photobiomodulation therapy - increasing circulation, reducing pain and inflammation. Photobiomodulation (PBM Therapy) is a laser or LED light therapy that improves tissue repair (skin wounds, muscle, tendon, bone, nerves), reduces inflammation and reduces pain wherever the beam is applied.

My first site visit for balanced equine from our new base in Chapel Hill NC was to the lovely to work on some of the client horses of and , and their own sweet pony. Lots of lovely releases from this crew, even as they are all getting to know me - even skeptical little Max released in response to some trigger point work.

Oof my reports are running a full week behind, but here are some snaps from some of the cuties from today.. before my phone died. This moving business takes so much energy and time, my time with your horses is keeping me sane

My COVID Pivot - Rebuilding a Life with Horses - The Plaid Horse Magazine BY SONJA BOORMAN I recently posted a picture of my new Amish-built barn, lush pastures, and emerging riding arena on a barn building Facebook group. Someone commented, “how does it feel to be literally living the dream?” and I replied, “Dreamlike…” Which got me thinking about the path th....
