musings of an equine therapist
About Me
Hi! I’m Danielle and I’m a (very passionate) equine sports massage therapist
I have run my practice offering bodywork treatments for horses since qualifying 12 years ago. My aim is to provide exceptional care by means of a therapeutic and holistic approach to the release of muscular tension and structural realignment.
I use a variety of techniques to improve soft tissue and joint function including Swedish massage, deep tissue sports massage, The Masterson Method, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, muscle energy techniques as well as passive and active stretches. I also have an in depth understanding of rehabilitative exercises meaning that any aftercare includes tailored groundwork and under-saddle exercises to help your horse reach his potential.

I can not recommend Danielle highly enough. I have two very different horses and Danielle treats them both for their individual needs with expertise and love. My horse, Kaycee, has had surgery and Danielle has helped extensively with his rehab to a happy comfortable horse. My other horse, Robbie, is quite nervous and jumpy around new people and ...(he) is so relaxed with her. Danielle also takes the time to explain exactly what she is doing and which muscles she is treating. Exercises and stretches are also clearly demonstrated by Danielle so you can continue to help your horse between sessions. Thank you Danielle

Kind Words
Danielle has been treating my girl for a few years now. She got her from the point of her being unrideable and horrid to handle due to pain/tension to out competing within a matter of months.
Danielle’s magic hands, detailed follow on exercises and rehab advice have meant we are back on board and feeling stronger than ever which I thought would never happen.
This lady’s wealth of knowledge coupled with her passion about her job is truly heartwarming and she’s helped so many horses. I now recommend her to my clients too!

Would highly recommend Danielle, treats our racehorses of all shapes,sizes and temperaments, with a calm approach helping them to feel better in themselves before and after a race. Very insightful.
