Post-graduate Diploma Equine Osteopathy certified by the European School of Osteopathy; Diploma Equine Myofunctional Therapy; Member Worldwide Alliance of Equine Osteopaths & Assoc. For the Love of the Horse – restoring balance, supporting wellbeing, improving performance. Majestic Horse Functional Therapy was founded by Angela Lemanis – who is a qualified and fully insured equine therapist who takes an osteopathic approach. Qualifications include: Diploma of Equine Osteopathy; Diploma of Equine Myofunctional Therapy; and Certificate of Photonic Red Light therapy. Angela is also a Teaching Associate with Animal Osteopathy International (AOI) and a current member of the Association of Animal Osteopaths (AAO) and the Equine Therapies Association of Australia (ETAA). Through a thorough understanding not only of equine anatomy, biomechanics and physiology, but also of the particular demands placed on the horse’s body and its workload or chosen discipline, Majestic Horse Functional Therapy delivers safe, gentle and effective osteopathic techniques; and sports, remedial and maintenance massage therapy techniques, along with myotherapy and myofascial release; Photonic Red Light Therapy; Deep Tissue, Trigger Point and Nerve Manipulation therapies; gait analysis; rehabilitation programs; passive and dynamic stretching; and energy assessment and chakra rebalancing therapy to benefit the physical, mental and emotional health and wellbeing of each horse. Angela is a graduate of Animal Osteopathy International with a postgraduate Diploma in Equine Osteopathy, so brings that broad scope of knowledge into her sessions. Angela is dedicated to maintaining ‘whole of horse’ health and balance by thoroughly assessing the physical condition of the horse and identifying trouble spots and problem areas. From the paddock companion horse through to the highly-tuned equine athlete, Angela believes that all horses should feel ‘majestic’, and all deserve massage for different reasons. A horse lover for as long as she can remember, Angela has worked for an equine not-for-profit charity in the ACT, and has volunteered with several Horse Rescues over the years (including Save A Horse Australia and Bella Vita Equine Welfare and Horse Sanctuary) where she treated horses who have been abused or neglected, or were slaughter-bound before being rescued. Seeing horses in their worst physical condition and in their most vulnerable and fearful state has made Angela’s resolve even greater – to help all horses enjoy health and wellbeing, and to feel, look and perform at their best. Angela regularly visits rescue horses each fortnight to provide massage and bodywork, myofascial release, red light therapy and energy work pro bono, and sees it as her small way of being able to give back to these beautiful animals.
