Bernardo Equine Therapy - Equine and Canine Massage Care - Van Nuys, CA
I'm a Myofascial Release therapist. Bernardo Equine Therapy offers one of the most comprehensive arrays of soft tissue modalities available for horses today. I blend the different therapies I am trained in to achieve the best results for your horse's health by keeping his body balanced and in optimum working condition.
Each session is tailored to meet your horse's individual needs. I begin every visit with an observation of your horse in hand at the walk and trot. After the bodywork is complete, the horse is re-evaluated for any remanding issues. You will receive a written report of the session. Follow-up appointments are made based on the findings. You may also request a copy of my notes to be sent to your veterinarian. Canine massage therapy available as well. Please contact and book us on Petworks. Thanks.
