As the forecast is set for another rainy & windy week 🫣 here’s some recent somewhat sunnier autumnal photos through the ears of a few of the lovely client horses I exercise 🍂

Fingers crossed after this week we get a break from the rain 🤞

⚡️🧲 MagnaWave PEMF 🧲⚡️

I often get asked to very briefly summarise the benefits of MagnaWave PEMF and struggle not to go off on giant tangents about the science behind how it works so I’m going to use this post as an opportunity to clearly and concisely summarise the benefits in a fairly simple manner, sans tangents 🙈

(if anyone has any further questions about the science behind it, feel free to contact me and I’ll be more than happy to answer!)

So the easiest way to explain how MagnaWave PEMF works is to think of it as a massage but from atomic/cellular level outwards rather than the kind of massages we get that start at tissue/organ level.

Therefore you get benefits such as reduced muscle tension, increased circulation, increased rate of healing, reduced pain and reduced inflammation specifically targeted directly to areas which aren’t quite performing as they should be.

And you get all this with a signal that can reach up to 16 inches (~40cm) into the body without having to use any conductive gel or resulting in heat production in the body.

This broad scope of benefits & unique mechanism of action is why MagnaWave PEMF is able to benefit such a huge range of conditions, from muscle tension to osteoarthritis to tendon/ligament pathologies to nerve pain to hoof abscesses to sacroiliac dysfunction and many, many more.

If you think your horse may benefit from a MagnaWave PEMF session, either from a performance enhancing perspective or to assist with the healing process or management of an existing condition, please get in touch to schedule a session:

We all know horses backs work hard to carry the weight of a rider, but how can you detect when these hard working muscles might not be working at their optimum?

Here’s a few signs which are easy to look out for so that you can detect possible back tension in your own horses:
• Holding their tail to one side (may be exaggerated in faster paces) - indicates unilateral tension in the back
• Resting the opposite hind hoof when you pick up a front hoof
• Leaning heavily on you when you pick up a hind hoof - maybe be for just one hind or both
• Twitching or tensing when you brush their back - this must be repeatable, so if they do it once when you first stroke of the brush their back but don’t for the second stroke then you probably just caught them by surprise the first time
• Head tilting when ridden - usually more prominent on one rein than the other and indicates unilateral back tension
• Feeling heavy in the contact or resistant to turn, particularly in one direction
• Becoming reactive to being tacked up & mounted and not wanting to move forward under saddle

If you notice your horse showing one or more of these signs it might be a good idea to book them a physiotherapy session to help to make them more comfortable.

September brings with it the winding down of the summer season, the beginning of the Autumnal weather, possible changes to your horse’s management routine and even their exercise routines as the darker nights draw in

Why is this all significant?

As we know, horses are creatures of habit; they like their routines and with so much changing how does this impact their musculoskeletal systems?
❄️ Colder weather and the start of the clipping season = horses will require longer warmups and cool-downs due to decreased flexibility in their soft tissues
🌾 Less turn out and more time stabled = increased stiffness may be seen, again due to decreased soft tissue flexibility and also decreased joint range of motion as a result of less time spent moving around
☔️ Muddy and wet conditions increase the risk of slips and stumbles in the field
🌙 Shorter daylight hours = less time to fit in exercise sessions. Many horses will have a reduced workload over the winter period due to owners not having time to exercise them before or after work. This can change a horse’s muscle tone, strength and mass which can alter things like saddle fit and performance level.

A physiotherapy session may be beneficial in this transitional period to help your horse adjust to these changes in their routine and environment by:
✔️Assessing current musculoskeletal condition and advising tailored warm up and cool down programmes to benefit individual horses
✔️Promoting suppleness in the soft tissues
✔️Promoting healing in injuries from slips/stumbles from the wet and muddy conditions
✔️Optimising joint function
✔️Advising on changes to management
✔️Recommendations on how to adapt your horse’s exercise routine with darker evenings drawing in
