To prepare your horse:
Please have the horse ready, dry and clean in a grooming area or a stall 


 Session description:
  • Palpation and evaluation:
    What is tender or reactive
    What areas have heat or feel cold to the touch
    Where is the horse cautious or worried about being touched
  • Creating a Body map:
    Each session is individually tailored, a plan is devised to unravel compromised muscular and imbalanced myofascial relationships
  • Hands on Bodywork:
    Releasing and unwrapping restrictions, deep holding patterns and adhesions in the connective tissue to allow the rebalancing of the skeleton  You will see noticeable responses and changes in a single session. Signs of a horse releasing during a session include softening of the eye, licking and chewing, yawning,twitching and stretching to name a few. I listen and feel with my hands for areas of restrictions and work with your horses own healing mechanism to to restore balance and ease of movement. There is no manipulation of bone, though it is not uncommon for horses to self adjust as the surrounding tissue softens. It is beneficial to have a bodywork session done prior to chiropractic as the release of restrictions and held tissue will make adjustments easier and allow them to hold longer.

After the session it is good to turn the horse out. Let them kick up their heels, run, turn and roll. This movement will help to integrate the structural changes in the body and allow the work to penetrate more deeply. It also helps the horse to explore his new flexibility and understand what he is now capable of. Bodywork will not make your horse sore, but it is best to give them the day following the session off from riding so they can continue to move and process the neuromuscular changes with the weight of the rider.
