Dino previously worked on people for 17 years, specializing in muscular/skeletal dysfunction.  During this time he worked with Chiropractors and Orthopedic Surgeons aiding in their patient’s recoveries.

Dino has always had a special attraction and love of horses.  It only seemed natural for him to apply his expertise and knowledge to help horses.  He received his certification in Equine Massage Therapy in 1996 from the Optissage in Circleville, Ohio.  His endeavor started slowly, but with lots of love, persistence and trust by the trainers, he was soon being referred to everyone on the show circuit.

Booked months in advance, Dino is highly sought after for his abilities and expertise.  He works primarily with the hunter/jumper horses including Grand Prix and World Cup horses.

To watch Dino work with the horses is a sight to behold.  His calming demeanor and respect for the horse enable him to get incredible results from his bodywork.  He has had many veterinarians seek his expertise in evaluating injuries. 

His methods are based on the simple basics of massage and stretching.  He uses simple hand placements and body mechanics to ensure safety for both himself and the horse at all times.  He listens to the horses and watches their reactions to determine the points that need the most attention.  The horse’s reactions to him are incredible, they seem to want him to touch them and they really like to play with him.
