HNJ équilibrage corporel

All set up for day 2 of the Amanda Renouard clinic at Beauregard hosted by Helen P Gale.
I was given this fabulous space to work in.
Lovely to have the opportunity to introduce new people to the benefits of VHT for themselves and The Equine Touch for their horses.

Training weekend was brilliant! Lots of additional moves to help with those stubborn problem areas. Also some focus on moves that affect the vagus nerve. The role of the vagus nerve in the body is a hot topic at the moment so there is plenty of information on line if you want to know why it is important.
Really lovely to catch up with my buddy Helen Duncan, and also our previous instructor Helen Choma . Thanks to Jo Fernandes for running this course and imparting her wisdom to us all.
I am looking forward to seeing how my clients appreciate the new techniques!

So I posted earlier about the circle of influence and how you need to consider all aspects that influence your horse and its environment.
I was really delighted when Carolyne from Tranquille Saddle Fitting reached out after seeing one of my business flyers. In the course of her job she may see horses that would benefit from some bodywork to enable them to reset and rebalance their bodies so that they can fully appreciate the benefits of a newly fitted saddle, and was therefore interested in what I offer.
Likewise, in the course of my work, I may have suspicions that tack fit would benefit from being checked if it hasn't been. As previously stated, this is a question I routinely ask.
It is always good to know what other professionals are in the area around you so we can all work together for the benefit of the horse.

J'ai donc publié un article plus tôt sur le cercle d'influence et sur la nécessité de prendre en compte tous les aspects qui influencent votre cheval et son environnement.
J'ai été ravie lorsque Carolyne, de Tranquille Saddle Fitting, m'a contactée après avoir vu l'un de mes prospectus. Dans le cadre de son travail, elle voit parfois des chevaux qui auraient besoin d'un travail corporel pour leur permettre de se rééquilibrer et de profiter pleinement des avantages d'une selle nouvellement ajustée. Elle s'est donc intéressée à ce que je propose.
De même, dans le cadre de mon travail, je peux avoir des soupçons quant à la nécessité de vérifier l'ajustement du harnachement s'il n'a pas été contrôlé récemment. Comme je l'ai déjà mentionné, c'est une question que je pose systématiquement.
Il est toujours bon de savoir quels autres professionnels se trouvent dans votre région afin que nous puissions tous travailler ensemble dans l'intérêt du cheval.

Just letting you know that I am away this weekend, so to all my horse riding clients in France - please stay on as there will not be any emergency appointments available til Tuesday 😁

The good news is I am going back to the UK to learn some more VHT tricks! Fairly sure there are some good shoulder moves coming up that I know would help quite a few of you.

Get yourselves lined up to benefit from my new skills on my return!!!!

Soo excited to be learning some new stuff and meeting up with the fabulous Helen Choma and my buddy Helen Duncan!! Love VHT ❤️

I received some very encouraging feedback recently from a client who has had tightness and pain in several places for many years. After only 2 sessions of VHT they are finding that the pain and tightness has started to decrease -which is a fantastic outcome so long after the original injury.

VHT really is a fabulous modality - I am truly grateful to have found it, and it is a real privilege to now be able to share it with others as a practitioner.

If you have never tried VHT then please get in touch. If you have tried everything else and given up (because you hadn't heard of VHT) then it is definitely worth a try!

Early on in our training for The Equine Touch (the foundation level in fact!), we are introduced to the idea of the 'circle of influence' - everything affects everything and nothing is in isolation. All the things listed will have an effect on the wellbeing of an equine.
That is why my pre-session questionnaire always asks for information with regards to age, turnout, workload, teeth checks, saddle checks and foot care, as well as past injuries and any other concerns.

Dès le début de notre formation à The Equine Touch (en fait, dès le niveau débutant !), on nous présente le concept du « cercle d'influence » : tout influence tout, et rien n'est isolé. Tous les éléments énumérés auront un effet sur le bien-être d'un équidé.
C'est pourquoi mon questionnaire préalable à la séance demande toujours des informations concernant l'âge, la condition physique, la charge de travail, les contrôles dentaires, les contrôles de selle et les soins des sabots, ainsi que les blessures passées et toute autre préoccupation.

I finally managed to get a hint of co-operation from my lovely P to make this video clip.
This is why I ask you not to brush your horse for at least 24 hours after an Equine Touch session.
Look how much the skin moves, even with a soft brush with very little pressure. Do you see the ripple effect? We are moving the skin not just the hair, and therefore also moving the superficial fascia .
What do we say about fascia?? It is connected to everything!

So do not brush immediately after a session, but you do not have to be a trained bodyworker to help keep fascia healthy between bodywork sessions.
Brushing your horse achieves more than you think and is also a good way to spot if the body is becoming tight or restricted!

We usually describe both VHT and ET as forms of bodywork that mostly address the fascia, but what is fascia?

Fascia is connective tissue whose importance has only been understood relatively recently.
It can be compared to a spider's web connecting all the elements of the body. Fascia is found within, around, and between the organs and structures of the body, forming a complete network.
This network also includes blood vessels and lymphatic drainage channels. It must be able to bend and flex to allow muscles to contract and lengthen as needed, to allow fluids to flow easily and unhindered, and to allow organs to move. As soon as fascia loses its elasticity or becomes dehydrated, it begins to stick to itself, forming adhesions that can hinder this movement. In horses, when superficial fascia is affected, it can be seen as tight, flat skin which is almost glued to the body, instead of being supple and loose.

If you want to know more about VHT or ET, please take a look at my website to see if either of these modalities could benefit you or your horse. (www.hnjequilibragecorporel.com)
