About Meagan Smyth, LAMP
Hello and welcome! My name is Meagan Smyth and I am a licensed Large Animal Massage Practitioner and a Certified Veterinary Thermographer servicing Washington State.
I have owned horses my entire life and they bring me great joy. As a Large Animal Massage Practitioner, I am able to help these wonderful animals feel their absolute best, perform well, heal from injury, and so much more.
I attended the Northwest School of Animal Massage, where I obtained my Large Animal Massage Certification in both Foundation and Performance Techniques. I have also taken multiple continuing education courses since graduating. I am board certified through NBCAAM. I am licensed through the WA Department of Health
I feel that all horses deserve a little time carved out to assess their needs and help them to feel and perform at their best.
Services: Equine Massage & Bodywork
Massage Techniques
-Swedish Massage
-Trigger point and stress point therapies
-Myofascial release (structural integration)
-Various stretches & ROM exercises
-Movement Feedback Method
Each session is documented with my findings and emailed to the owner with recommendations and suggestions.
Traveling to you, each session is tailored to the individual horse’s needs. Not all horses are the same, therefore not all require the same type of session. All horses of all ages and disciplines can benefit from massage. From pain relief, to increased flexibility or circulation, to improved performance or quality of life, there are no limitations. Established or up and coming athlete? Youngster going into training? Stallion on the job? Older kids horse? Occasional trail companion? All horses deserve a little bit of time carved out to assess their needs or help them to feel their best.
Complimentary Modalities
While not a cure-all or a replacement for proper veterinary care, massage can work in conjunction with veterinary, chiropractic, or farrier visits to prolong effects, aid in muscle recovery, etc.
-Equine Cupping Therapy
-Manual Ligament Therapy (MLT)
-Kinesiology Taping

Services: Veterinary Grade Thermal Imaging
I use state of the art medically calibrated equipment to capture images of your animal’s physiological well-being. This specific equipment has 327,680 points of measurement, which means it is extremely sensitive and reports exact temperature within a 1.8 degree margin of error.
This is NOT equipment that is designed for industrial use. It is calibrated for medical imaging. I follow very strict procedures, enabling me to take repeatable and RELIABLE images.
This equipment detects both INFLAMMATION and VASOCONSTRICTION without the need for an MRI.
How can this benefit you or your horse?
-Early Detection of musculoskeletal or neurological (nerve) disorders.
-Lameness Evaluation.
-Monitor Rehabilitation Progress.
-Pre-Purchase Exams.

This will be a road map for you or any other professional working with your horse…

-Visualize areas of tension.
