ADDRESSING THE BODY'S MYOFASCIAL SYSTEM TO HELP GET TO THE CAUSE OF YOUR HORSE'S PAIN.
You may notice your horse having issues picking up a lead, reluctant to engage their hind-end, tossing their head, frequently colicking, bucking or spooking more than usual. Bodywork can help isolate and address the cause of these issues, allowing you to make the most out of your relationship with your horse.
Benefits of Bodywork
Would your horse benefit from this work? There are numerous benefits to equine massage and bodywork. Check out some of the ways it can help your horse...
Enhance Performance
Increases endurance and improves reaction time. Reduces post-exercise soreness and shortens recovery time. Primes your horse to perform at their best.
Increase Circulation
Enhances the delivery of nutrients to the tissues and assisting in the removal of cellular waste. Increased blood flow aids in healing and recovery.
Support Mental Well-Being
Engages the para-sympathetic nervous system, releasing endorphins and easing pain signals to the brain. Balances the nervous system, helping your horse respond better to stress.
Optimize Balance & Coordination
Re-educates nerve pathways to improve hoof-brain coordination, so movement is more fluid and efficient. Helps the body maintain posture and symmetry in relation to gravity.
Improve Flexibility
Increases range of motion--lessening chance of future injury. Improves range of motion stabilizing and strengthening the joints. This leads to a lengthened stride and more expressive movement.
Reduce Muscle Tension
Eases chronic tension and muscle shortening. Balances areas of weakness or hypertrophy.
One of my highlights of 2022 was getting to work on blind horses Endo and his friend Emma. Seeing these horses communicate and process bodywork without the use of their sight was such a valuable learning experience.
