Exciting update!

I’m currently working toward my large animal massage certification through Northwest School of Animal Massage and looking forward to bringing this into my practice in the coming months!

During my recent course, I visited Emerald City Pet Rescue’s Ghost Owl Farm Sanctuary, where I had the opportunity to work with one of the horses. It was a great experience getting to see the peaceful, safe home that these animals are given and the commitment to helping their individual needs.

I’m so grateful to have supported K9 Sig’s journey to being sworn in! 🐾

Sig received Acuscope treatments to maintain a healthy, balanced body as he developed before he went to the Portland Police Department.

Kylee Hintz of Neutral K9 offers amazing dog training services and donates to the nonprofit Working Dogs of Oregon!

I’m excited for Sig’s continued journey as he responds to the mental health needs of law enforcement officials, staff, victims, and the community!

One of our sponsored K9's Sig, sworn into Portland (update)

Every year, NK9 makes a sizable donation to either our local humane society or 501c3.

In 2025, Neutral K9 donated $7,500.00 to K9 Sig's raising to be a Portland PD K9. K9 Sig was a donated wellness K9 by Working Dogs Oregon, who we volunteer for as well.

It was a true honor watching K9 Sig's career come to fruition at such a young age. WDO showcases that dogs save lives in more ways than one with their career K9's and placements.

WDO is a 501c3 nonprofit and donations are tax deductible.

Recently, I celebrated my third year as an ATS-certified Acuscope and Myopulse Therapist. I am incredibly grateful for my clients, my continued education, and the valuable experience I’ve gained over these past three years. I’m excited about what lies ahead and remain committed to the goal of Summit Animal Therapy: Helping animals feel their best and perform at their highest potential!

Here are some throwback photos from my equine and canine certification courses 🐴🐶

What sets the Acuscope apart from other therapy modalities?

- FDA approval ensures the safety and effectiveness of medical devices. The Acuscope and Myopulse Therapy System is a Class II medical device that has been tested and approved to treat neuromuscular and musculoskeletal conditions, to be used as a form of non-invasive pain management, and accelerate the recovery rate by 50% or more.

- Biofeedback is a monitoring system that uses a pre-programmed computer circuitry and includes a non-fixed output. This allows the instrument to internally adjust its output based on each patient’s needs during each session, preventing overstimulation and harm to the cells. Each patient receives a personalized treatment tailored to the tissue’s specific needs.

- The Acuscope provides therapists with digital readings (auditory and numerical) indicating the location of cellular dysfunction. These readings reflect the amount of conductivity passing through the tissue, resistance, impedance, and chemistry of the cells. This enables the formation of a treatment plan based on the findings.

- Animal calibration is essential when applying effective animal applications, as cellular physiology differs between humans and animals. The Acuscope is pre-programmed with the norms of cellular function in animal tissue.

Every living body is made up of a vast number of cells. In ways, the cells act like tiny batteries, storing and releasing energy. Each cell has a measurable electrical charge and therefore there is a constant energy flow maintained between cells throughout the electrical circuitry of the body.
When damage or trauma occurs, there is a disruption in the production of electricity and a measurable decrease in the flow of energy through the tissues involved. This condition is called electrical resistance and is generally accompanied by a sensation of pain in the area.
During treatment, the Electro-Acuscope introduces a mild electrical current into the cells of the body in order to return the tissue to a normal level of electrical activity. Microcurrent also stimulates the production of endorphins, which are naturally occurring pain suppressors.
While providing beneficial electrical current, the treatment causes the body to improve circulation, produce and more effectively utilize proteins and other nutrients required for cell metabolism and repair. In this way, the instrument assists the body in accelerating the natural self-healing processes.

The Electro-Acuscope and Electro-Myopulse are FDA approved instruments created originally for use on humans. This system has been used in physical therapy clinics, doctors’ offices, and hospitals throughout the country since 1976.
These instruments properly utilized by qualified therapists help to optimize traditional veterinary procedures to ensure a quicker recovery for the animal.

*The Acuscope and Myopulse therapy system is to be used in conjunction with proper veterinary care and should never be used to replace it.

Equine athletes encounter injuries in all disciplines. These injuries can inhibit our horses ability to perform competitively and can even lead to an “early retirement” in their performance career. Acute injuries that are not handled with correct and immediate care can become chronic. Issues that we may have considered “minor” can lead to serious complications.

The animal calibrated Electro-Acuscope and Myopulse Therapy system is used to treat many conditions in dogs and horses including

- Joint inflammation
- Bowed tendons
- Body soreness
- Muscle injuries
- Ligament injuries
- Muscles spasms
- Arthritic conditions
- Pinched nerves
- Fractures
- Accessed feet
- Ring bone
- Capped hocks
- Epilepsy
- Osteochondritis

Remarkable results have been obtained in the treatment of conditions thought to be life-threatening or crippling. These include

- Laminitis
- Wobblers syndrome
- Spinal damage
- Navicular problems
- Nerve paralysis
- Hip dysplasia

This past week, I had the opportunity to continue my education in California by completing the Level 2 Optimizing Equine Performance and Recovery course. I’m always wanting to improve my skills and expand my knowledge to provide the best therapeutic care for your equine athletes!

Thank you for offering such an amazing program!
