How reiki massage can help horses with complex health issues
You don't know where to start to help your horse
Reiki provides a good starting point for easing your horse's physical and emotional pain, to let the healing process begin.
Reiki can be a powerful and gentle tool for helping horses, especially when you’re not sure where to begin with a treatment plan. The beauty of Reiki lies in its intuitive, non-invasive approach—it doesn’t matter where the issue is because the energy flows where it’s needed most.
Reiki treats the horse as a whole—mind, body, and spirit and can:
Balance the nervous system
Support immune function
Relieve general stress or anxiety
Create a foundation for healing
If there’s no clear diagnosis or you’re waiting on test results, Reiki can still support the horse without interfering with conventional treatment, and compliments vet treatment beautifully.
You've tried all the usual treatments
Reiki provides a holistic whole-horse approach to healing - body, mind and spirit.
Reiki, an energy healing is often used as a complementary therapy for animals—especially horses—when conventional treatments have had limited results. While it's not a replacement for veterinary care, Reiki can provide great results.
For horses dealing with injury or chronic pain, Reiki can:
Help release endorphins (natural painkillers)
Reduce muscle tightness
Encourage tissue regeneration and healing
It's especially useful when horses can’t tolerate more invasive therapies.
Health issues often stem from emotional trauma or stress. Reiki can gently:
Soothe nervous or shut-down horses
Help release emotional blockages
Improve trust
Your horse has multiple health problems
Reiki is perfect for addressing the root cause and addressing both the physical and mental/ emotional.
While it’s not a substitute for veterinary care, Reiki offers a gentle, non-invasive way to support a horse’s overall well-being, and is an offering, not forcing.
One of Reiki’s biggest advantages is that it’s gentle and poses no risk of adverse side effects, making it a safe option to try alongside other treatments
Reiki is based on the idea of balancing life-force energy. For horses with multiple issues (e.g., arthritis, ulcers and behavioural problems), Reiki doesn’t target just one symptom—it helps the entire energy system regain harmony, which can:
Improve resilience
Support the body in prioritizing what needs healing
Address physical, emotional, and energetic imbalances simultaneously
