Back in Balance Equine Bodywork
Back In Balance Equine Bodywork is a hands on holistic approach to improving attitude, performance and well being.
Touch has a very strong healing influence. It is widely used to prevent and relieve stress as well as assist in recovery from injury. Touch can also be a terrific tool for detecting tension, abnormalities, and other problems earlier than by sight. Holistic means that on order to create an environment for health and well being, we must consider the total horse. Both physical and psychological traits must be addressed rather than treating symptoms separately. In order to help the healing capacity of the body, factors including emotional stability, nutrition, exercise, lifestyle, and structural soundness must all be taken into consideration.
