Equine Tui-Na is an effective, hands-on massage therapy that works with the horse's energetic pathways to move Qi (energy) and blood to promote healing and the well-being of your horse. Dr. Sallie Hyman is offering this therapy as a great alternative for needle shy horses, in between acupuncture sessions, or complementing this therapy with acupuncture during a treatment session. Tui-Na is most commonly used to treat acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions while also being useful as a preventative medicine therapy because it promotes balance in the body.

Examples of using Tui-Na in TEVA horses:

• Needle shy horses who don't tolerate acupuncture benefit from Tui-Na as it uses the same meridian points, helping to balance the body.
• Tui-Na treatments during show season will help keep your horse in top performing shape by maintaining balance within the body.
• Combining Tui-Na with joint injections may increase time before the injection needs to be repeated because by keeping the entire body comfortable, horses use themselves correctly and need less overall medications.
• Tui-Na helps to improve range of motion of joints.
