Thank you for choosing Optimum Equine to provide quality, intuitive bodywork for your horse. I take great pride in the work that I do through careful, patient, and correct techniques and am confident that you will see and feel the difference in your horse. Each horse is an individual, and we can decide together which type of session is best for your equine athlete. Within the session, the horse guides the techniques I will use based upon their responses and the patterns of tension uncovered in the body. I consider myself an eternal student and will never stop learning new methods and techniques in order to best help our horses. To date, I have certifications in equine sports massage therapy, Masterson Method Equine Performance Bodywork and SureFoot Balance Pad proprioceptive therapy. I am currently receiving education in the Balance Through Movement Method techniques combining movement with bodywork for healing and postural rehab as well as their Lazaris Nerve Release Techniques.

ABOUT

About

Mandy owns and operates Optimum Equine LLC providing integrated equine bodywork in the Pittsburgh area and its surrounding communities. Her practice focuses on hands-on techniques with an emphasis on accessing the nervous system, allowing body and mind to connect and remove barriers to healing. She believes in a horse-centric session, allowing the body to guide what techniques are needed.

 

Mandy uses an eclectic mix of gentle fascia and nerve release, traditional sports massage, and the well-known Masterson Method. Bodywork sessions are enhanced by the use of SureFoot equine balance pads and red/near-infrared light therapy.​ 

These together open the door for what the body can and wants to do naturally.

Which is to heal. 

Bodywork can be an essential component of your horse's maintenance routine: to keep them happy and healthy, to check in with the body and the mind, and to

optimize their comfort.  ​

"I rode yesterday and he was amazing. So much softer and more flexible in his body. My trainer and I both agree that this helps him.
