Welcome to Competitive Touch by Paige Barner
***This website is currently under construction!!! ****
My name is Paige Barner. I am a CESMT (Certifiied Equine Sports Massage Therapist), CERT (Certified Equine Rehabilitation Therapist), and a horse enthusiast. I have 16 years experience with horses and competing in multiple disciplines, as well as offering riding lessons and horses for sale.
I gained an interest in Equine Sports Massage Therapy due to barrel racing. Not only does massage increase bloodflow to the muscles of the horse and release tension allowing them to perform at the best of their abilities, but it also reduces risk of injury. Massage therapy derived as a treatment for muscle injury, but is now more often used as an inexpensive injury preventative.
Asking your horse to perform at any level requires an effort by the rider to insure the horse is comfortable. Equine massage locates and treats stiff muscle pain and releases spasms that you may not even know exist.
Please see the equine massage page for detailes and prices.
I attended Midwest Natural Healing for Horses, the only school which offers a rehabilitation certification program developed by Beverly Brady. Ms. Brady herself guided my hands on learning of the Equine Rehabilitation Therapy. This unique program offers assistance to horses suffering from the following ailments: sway backed, cold backed, EPM and arthritis.
