Equine Remedial Therapy is a unique manual therapy for musculoskeletal disorders in the horse. It consists of various forms of soft tissue manipulation and mobilising stretches. It also stimulates or sedates stress points, acupuncture points, nerve cell receptors and reflexes. It is useful as the internal organs are able to function more efficiently once the strain of impaired structural alignment is improved. Working on: Releasing tight muscles Enhancing the healing process when sore Detoxing for the horse's wellbeing Mobilizing stretches to help the treatment process Enhancing your horse's performance Maintaining internal balance Helping your horse be happier overall and a pleasure to ride I can help with anything from horses with muscle soreness, to horses with allergies or hormonal problems. I work along the meridians on the acupressure points stimulating the muscles with each move. This incorporated with gentle mobilising stretches, helps the horse use its natural healing ability to improve and restore body alignment and musculoskeletal function. I work the deep and superficial muscles, improve internal organ function by working along the meridians of the horse, and I work on the nervous system as well. I�ve had great results with horses that are stiff, muscle sore, have injuries, horses with excessive swelling, nervous horses, horses that are head shy or touchy around their ears or poll, horses that are just not performing to their greatest ability, horses with hormonal problems, horses that are acting out of character, it has even picked up some horse's spirits that seem off or really glum. My treatments also help in injury prevention as well! Each treatment is aimed at returning the horse to full athletic function. It creates an opportunity for the horse's natural healing ability to normalise within its capacity where the problem's encountered. The main goal of a treatment is for pain free function to the optimal level the horse is capable of performing. If the horse has had an injury there is often pain, localised swelling and heat. Some cases may need veterinary assistance to identify the source or sources of the pain. It is very successful for musculoskeletal disorders and as an additional therapy to assist in organic conditions. It is safe to do a treatment in conjunction with veterinary and other treatments. In general, with appropriate follow up maintenance and injury prevention care, the results are very long lasting.
