About the STS-2 System

First, there is the STS-2 Therapy System Scanner, which is a device that allows the technician to go over the horse’s body, externally and pinpoint exactly where any problems exist. (I say ’horse’s body’ but it is also equally effective on other animals and humans as well.) The SCANNER emits a micro current of electricity that the horse does not feel. That current is used to measure the resistance in the tissue it contacts. High resistance means normal, healthy tissue. Low resistance means there is something wrong there.

Treatment
 The second step in using STS-2 Therapy System is treating the problems the scanner located. The technician treats the problem using the ETU (Equine Therapy Unit), which uses red and infrared light to stimulate the body to heal.

This may be a new concept to many of you, but using ’light’ as a therapy is actually quite common in Europe. The validity of light therapy has been proven in clinical tests by many universities as well as other organizations such as NASA.

About Karen
Karen's involvement with animals ranges from rescuing raptors in cooperation with the W.Va. Raptor Rehabilitation Center to working with horses on a weekly basis. While she has a masters degree in Interpersonal Communication from West Virginia University, her real passion has always been directed toward animals.

Her gift for relating to animals goes beyond a personal level. Where as many will say "Yeah, I'm good with animals," Karen reaches deeper to find a spiritual connection. If you do not believe us, we encourage you to visit her barn on any given night and watch as deer eagerly follow her into the barn - each summer a wild buck chooses to be near her. If she holds her hand out, the buck will eat from her hand. And each spring, doe will bring their fawns to the barn for Karen to admire.

This passion for caring for animals translates to some of the best care your horse can receive. Her soft voice and gentle touch combined with her high tech equipment and logical approach combine to bring a holistic and non invasive solution to your horses' maladies.
