Heidi Pichotta works in conjunction with veterinarians, farriers, and other reputable health care providers to achieve optimum results.

We have world and national champions in nearly every discipline amongst our family of clients. We are extremely proud to be a part of each and every horse's health care program. Thank you all for giving us the opportunity to work with your athletes!

Why It Works

Heidi Pichotta offers sports massage therapy, myofascial release/mobilization, neuromuscular therapy, active and passive stretching techniques, acupressure, horse & rider exercise therapy, magnetics, english and western saddle fitting, custom re-flocking and re-conditioning. Heidi is also a certified personal trainer with the National Exercise & Sports Trainers Association. Her therapy techniques stand apart because they are corrective and restorative. Heidi Pichotta's speciality is deep tissue, addressing all muscle layers versus only the superficial layer, as well as re-education.

The harder an athlete works, the greater the need for bodywork to keep muscles in top shape. When we ask for maximum effort from our horse, it will inevitably put stress on their body. Horses, just like people, on a regular bodywork program, have fewer injuries, illnesses, recover faster, and perform better. Bodywork can give you an extra 20+ percent increase in performance. What horse performance horse wouldn't benefit from that?

Heidi's results and experience speak for themselves and guarantees an increase in your horse's physical and mental performance.
