Winning Way Equine & Canine Sports Massage

Amy Smithmier Crawford, ESMT, CCMT, is a certified equine & canine sports massage therapist serving the greater Kansas City and surrounding areas. Cold-backed?

Does your horse tend to be "girthy" when saddled? Short-striding on one or more legs? Unexplained lameness? Ear-pinning under saddle? Having a hard time with one lead or another? Not able to bend one direction very well? Tripping/stumbling? Is your dog suffering from arthritis, stiffness and pain? Do you have a puppy whose gait is a bit off due to rapid growth spurts? All these symptoms and more c

an be present in a horse or dog who could benefit from a hands-on sports massage. My job as an equine and canine sports massage therapist is to warm up each muscle group, palpate to find lesions, fibrosis, restrictions and reactive areas within both the superficial and deep muscles, treat those areas, and then "close" off that same muscle group. The bodywork is very effective at lowering inflammation, facilitating the healing process in the case of injury to the muscles, and improving performance. I studied and was certified at Equissage in Round Hill, VA in 2003 and am a lifetime member of the International Association of Animal Massage Therapists. I am also certified in Equine Myofascial Release Therapy and am a certified reiki master. I regularly attend continuing education courses, as there is always something new to learn, as more and more research is being done on equine and canine musculoskeletal systems! All animals (people, pigs, cats, sheep-and more- included!) WILL benefit in some way from massage. Most horses and dogs benefit in very visible ways--an increase in stride length, more relaxed movement, happier in their work/play, ability to bend and perform better, lengthened connective tissue, etc. Equine and canine sports massage is an excellent adjunct to regular veterinary and chiropractic care and is highly recommended to expedite injury recovery time, prevent atrophy in muscles of stall-bound horses or dogs needing to be contained in recovery, improve performance and prevent future injuries. Be sure to contact me if you have any questions and I'd be happy to discuss your specific situation with you and/or your veterinarian and chiropractor. Thanks for visiting my page! Happy trails!

It was such a busy, yet fulfilling, weekend! Finished it off with another lecture to an incredible group of people located at the beautiful Perkins Stables, the team at Northland Equine Lessons and Training . You'll never find such a welcoming group, with such passion for horses, as you can with these ladies!

Thank you, Esther, for the pictures, and thank you to all who attended! ❤️

Don't forget to get signed up for this clinic! I'm super excited to share some new information I learned this last weekend at the dissection clinic with Becks Nairn ! Being a huge advocate for the horse, my life's mission is to educate horse owners like I wish someone had educated me back when I was professionally training horses...to always be mindful of the limits of our horses' biomechanics and also their pain signals. Becks has similar missions in life, and was an incredible source of knowledge to draw from and I'm ready to share! Come join us for a fun day!!

Well, what a weekend this was! I had the privilege of attending a whole horse dissection clinic with one of the best, Becks Nairn! She was not only incredibly knowledgeable, she was a genuinely nice person who kept us entertained and intrigued with all she was doing. This dissection was very hands-on and collaborative, which was amazing, with the caliber of therapists, bodyworkers, chiropractors and farriers that were there. Thank you, Becks, for an incredible weekend of learning!

I have to also send a massive thank you to Ciara, of Sozo Equine, LLC . She was an incredible host, and was so heartfelt and genuine in the love she has for her horse. Critter sounds like he was amazing, and I'm so thankful Ciara gave us the gift of him being our teacher and gave him the gift of no longer being in pain.

Thank you to my great cabin-mates, for fantastic company and conversation! Shannon Cole Veloz Apf III of Wind Rider Equine Rehab , April Schaeffer of Schaeffer Bodyworks, LLC , and Kaitlyn Fulton of Wandering W - thankful for new friendships!

My mind is still spinning from all the information and experiences! It was an amazing clinic. I'm so excited to share some of my new knowledge next weekend in two seminars I'm honored to be presenting in - hosted by KV Dressage and EquiMend (I'll attach the event link in the comments!) - and also one at Perkins Stables, hosted by Northland Equine Lessons and Training !

Truly, "Behavior, is Communication" when it comes to our horses. May we always remember that and try to always strive to do better for them!

If you are free April 18th, I would love to see you at this seminar! I'll be presenting some very cool information and have some super fun bones to see and feel!

ALL animals enjoy having their muscles massaged and their skeletal system adjusted!!!! 😍😍😍

Enjoyed a wonderful lunch and afternoon with many of the Kansas City equine bodyworkers & therapists today! We were privileged to have Dr. Stella Pettid of All Creatures Chiropractic, Inc come and participate in some round table discussion with us about collaborating, the importance of referring to veterinarians and chiropractors when needed, and putting the horse's wellbeing first.

It is nice to have such a supportive group of equine therapists and so fun to share ideas and ways that we can all be better in our specific modalities!

Thanks to everyone who came out. I forgot to grab a picture due to all of the great conversations, but maybe next time!
