Bodywork is the application of physical therapies such as massage, structural integration, yoga, exercises, stretches, and relaxation techniques for the purpose of promoting physical and emotional balance and well-being.  So basically every body, human or equine, responds differently to therapy.  It can be different from one session to the next on the same person or horse.  That said, the phrase "whatever works" is the approach we have developed through out years of experience.  Being aware of the changes that have occurred since the last session and even what is happening that day can effect how the session goes.  This approach allows the work to evolve and change as needed to continue to improve over time.
