Equine Electro-Acupressure
The fusion of Equine Massage, Equine Acupressure and Technology
A Revolutionary Way to Improve
Your Horse’s Health and Performance
Equine Electro-Acupressure and Equine Electro-Muscle Therapy are hybrid equine bodywork modalities that combine modern science and technology with ancient knowledge of massage, energy meridians and acupoints. The net effect is a fast, effective method of getting a horse out of muscular pain and maximizing his/her athletic performance.
Developed by Equine Performance Consultant, Donald Doran, these techniques are a reflection of Doran’s 40+ years of hands-on experience working with a broad spectrum of equine athletes ranging from Kentucky Derby winners to Olympic contenders.
Using a mild electrical current applied to specific points on the horse’s muscles, the Equine Therapist is able to promote circulation, invigorate muscles and relieve pain without the use of drugs, surgery or invasive procedures. Doran calls Equine Electro-Acupressure the ultimate ‘disruptive technology” — disrupting the cycle of muscular pain abruptly.
This is a one-of-a-kind program that you will not find anywhere else in the world.
