Equine Muscle Matters - Christine Thompson

Equine bodyworker & human remedial massage therapist using a combination of soft tissue techniques, Let's face it, that doesn't make it a fun ride for anyone!
(12)

Providing the best whole body treatment tailored for you & your horse. Just like us, horses have their own physical restrictions that place limits on what they are able to do when ridden. This can lead to short, choppy strides, resistance in transitions, ears back when you ask them to go forwards, or even the occasional buck! So, what do you do? I can help fix these restrictions so that you have a

supple, straight, balanced, willing riding partner! Not only that, I can also teach you the skills you need to ease your horse's discomfort between my visits. What about your own restrictions? If you’re a horse rider, no doubt your goal is to have your horse going as well as they possibly can. Sometimes the easiest way to improve your horse's way of going is to fix yourself! Crookedness in the rider can be reflected in the horse, and this causes the horse to change how it moves. Long term, this causes compensation patterns in the horse's body and can cause dysfunctional movement and predispose the horse to injury. Therefore, treating the rider also helps the horse! A combination of soft tissue techniques, photonic red light therapy (equine sessions only), kinesiology taping, and stretching is used to provide optimal support for horses & riders in every discipline. Servicing the South East Queensland region.

About Equine Muscle Matters

You’ve probably heard that saying, right?

Just like us, horses have their own physical and psychological restrictions that place limits on what they are able to do when ridden. This can lead to short, choppy strides, resistance in transitions, ears back and chomping teeth when you ask them to move forward, or even the occasional buck!

Let’s face it, that doesn’t make it a fun ride for anyone.

So, what do you do?

I can help to fix these restrictions, and instead of having a horse that is stiff, struggles with canter transitions, is unsound or cranky, and is generally difficult to ride, you could have a supple, straight, balanced, willing riding partner!

Not only that, I can also teach you the skills you need to ease your horse’s discomfort in between my visits.

A combination of equine bodywork/massage, photonic red light therapy, dry needling, kinesiology taping and stretching is used to provide optimal support for horses working in every discipline. My aim is to work with your team (vets, owners, riders, coaches, saddle fitters and other musculoskeletal therapists) in order to provide the best whole-body treatment tailored for your horse.

About Christine Thompson

I have extensive experience (and a whole lot of degrees) working with horses, including roles in Australia and the UK as a sport development officer for an equestrian organisation, riding coach, equine instructor/assessor at an agricultural college, equine course manager/lecturer at a university, and education officer for the RSPCA. Having owned horses for many years, I understand the requirements of multiple disciplines within equestrian sport, fitness and training schedules and the importance of maintaining your horses peak physical and mental condition whether you are riding for pleasure or at an elite level. Equine Muscle Matters was launched in 2016 and is based in Greenbank Qld, and services most of the South East Queensland area.
