We are committed to providing integrated physical and functional therapies to patients, improving their functionality, eliminate or manage pain and discomfort, and help them lead an independent life for as long as they live.
Misalignments cause interference with nerve transmissions preventing your animal from functioning properly. Oxygen within muscles become depleted; excess lactic acid builds and inhibits full muscle range of motion. Recovery time can range from just minutes to longer depending on the time elapsed and amount of misalignment occurred. Massage and RAPID enable blood flow to and through the muscle; it cleanses toxins and rebuilds oxygen levels.

Testimonials
I had the privilege in meeting Wanda after I had adopted a beautiful gelding for my Equine Assisted Learning program. He came to me very sore and with a visible lameness. Wanda took the time to work on my big guy, and at the end of our visit, to my surprise my guy was moving freely, no click in his hip even when he trotted away! I was so pleased with the results; I had Wanda work on all my horses to keep them in tip top shape for my program!! Thanks again Wanda for giving my guy his freedom of movement back!!

EAL Facilitator at Healing Reins
Shortly after Wanda worked on my big show gelding, he started to show a significant improvement in his stride and flexion. He is now willing to extend and flex and our next goal is Dressage. She also worked on my Team Penning mare that had endured 2 bouts of Laminitis this summer and was obviously stiff, She is much more fluid and happier. Thanks so much Wanda!

Satisfied Show Horses
Wanda has worked on a couple of our horses at the chuckwagon races. She is very thorough and great with the horses. She identified why one of our leaders came up lame (barely able to trott) in the pen overnight right away by how he was travelling. Wanda worked on him and within 3 days he raced the next weekend. No one even knew anything had happened. She was great explaining everything to us as well.
