Oliver Dörpinghaus-Physio for Horses

Oliver Dörpinghaus is a passionate horse enthusiast whose work focuses on supporting equine wellbeing through hands-on therapeutic approaches. Inspired by a family connection to riding, he offers stress point massage, also known as myofascial deep tissue massage, and dry needling. These methods are used to address muscular tension, pain, movement restrictions, and myofascial trigger points. Dörpinghaus has applied dry needling for several years and presents it as a treatment that complements stress point massage.

He also provides practical workshops and professional training. In 2026, these courses are available by request. Dry needling training is intended for people with a therapeutic background and costs €400 per participant, with a minimum of six attendees. Stress point massage training is open to both therapists and private horse owners, costs €330 per person, and also requires at least six participants.

Dörpinghaus’s book, “Hand ans Pferd,” is a wellness guide offering riders and horse owners ideas for improving their horses’ wellbeing. The website also provides information about his therapies, literature, and contact options.
