The wonderful world of fascia, the connective web of fibers supporting the musculoskeletal system. The main focus of my services.
Fascia is important for posture, movement and force transmission. It also aids in proprioception, reflexes, energy, feeling and potentially even the horseβs emotion. While the body is in motion, these fibers support the muscles and other soft tissue as they expand and contract. During strenuous activity, these fibers and muscle tissue may experience micro-tears from over exertion. This is what is happening when you hear the term βFeel the burn!β during a work out!
When these micro-tears happen, the body goes into rapid recovery, repairing the fibers for continued support. This is how we build muscle and muscle memory. But sometimes this rapid recovery can heal in clusters causing discomfort and trapping lactic acid.
This may present in a few different ways;
βοΈThe skin may appear to have ripples and dips in it.
βοΈThe muscles may feel like there are small marbles in the tissue.
βοΈHorses will be adverse to touch in certain areas.
βοΈMost dramatically, gait abnormalities and restrictions.
Through myofascial release therapy, I manually break up these clusters, release lactic build up and encourage correct healing in the fibers. Why is this important?
If these fibers are not functioning properly they will continue to cause discomfort and dysfunction in the muscles and skeletal structures. Tight/sticky fibers pull the muscles, the muscles pull the skeletal system, and the cycle continues. The body begins to compensate causing strain to other areas. Horses become stiff, resistant, cranky, and unwilling to engage in sport.
Healthy fascia makes for a happy performance horse!
So incredibly proud of my good friend and sponsored team Amy Lynn Smith Topline Equestrian RI. π₯° Congratulations to all this past weekend!!

This is such an awesome example of how hoof balance can reflect balance and function in the body. My friend Ace is having very positive changes in his body starting with his hoof health and balance, peep his new sneakers!! π₯°
When I started working with Ace back in February he had always presented with tight shoulders, a contracted chest, and narrow base. He has never truly been happy with me working those areas for him. This past Sunday was a whole new story!
We were successful in getting great releases through his pectorals and thoracic sling. We also achieved a very satisfying scapula release as well, something Iβve been gradually working on for him. Note the change in the fascia, the tissues are fuller and not as βstuckβ looking. His pectorals are open allowing the point of the shoulder to be at a more neutral position encouraging a more square, balanced posture.
Iβm so excited to witness continued progress and positive body changes for this beautiful boy!!

Some may know, and some may not! When horses are sedentary or coming back into work/increasing work load, they will experience some degree of muscle discomfort. However, how many of you know that horses in correct and consistent work can experience the same?!
Body soreness isnβt always a bad thing. It is, at times, how we know muscle memory is being built. The body is stimulated to create a proper outline for a strong supportive body in its work. But as this happens it is important to offer your horse time to relax and loosen the muscle fibers/connective tissue. Stretchy walk/trot/canter breaks from working in the bridle. Tack walks. Lunge days. And you probably guessed it, body work!
By utilizing therapyβs such as Massage, PEMF/BEMER/MagnaWave, and Chiropractic you are offering comfort to an otherwise sore body. In turn your equine athlete will continue to build the necessary strength without restriction, tension or body soreness and continue on their journey extremely well and perform successfully!
Special thank you to Ashley Kate for capturing this wonderful moment during a session with her young dressage prospect Eve!

Have you ever noticed your horse exhibiting this odd behavior? Have you wondered why they do it? Do you notice this at very specific times/things?
This behavior is called Bruxism, a grinding of the teeth/rolling of the tongue/crinkling of the nose. This behavior is a reaction to mental, emotional, and/or physical discomfort. Many of my clients exhibit this behavior just before a big release of tension.
In this video, my friend Micha shows an excellent example of Bruxism while I help release fascia with gentle tapotement. Tapotement can stimulate the nervous and circulatory systems. This can promote restorative healing and stress relief to effected areas.
When we started our sessions, Micha was wiggly and evasive, holding a lot of tension in his body. Partly in due to past stressors of bug allergies, dietary needs, and travel. Which all have been addressed and resolved by his loving owner. Micha now falls asleep during his sessions and is making incredible progress in his training and posture!
If you notice your horse exhibiting this behavior have a look around! Is there a neighbor your horse doesnβt co-exist with? A change in the environment? Or, are they experiencing tension in the body? It may be time to have body work done!!
β¦ If this occurs during grooming, tacking/training and feed time, a call to your attending veterinarian to discuss possible medical concerns may be suggested.β¦

Hello all!! There are some new followers to my page so I wanted to take some time and reintroduce myself, my services, and how your horse can benefit from regular body work!
My name is Kathryn (Kate) Phillips. Based out of Rhode Island, my focus is to provide equine massage and Myofascial Release therapy to Rhode Island, Eastern Connecticut and Southern Massachusetts! An avid Thoroughbred enthusiast, body work has always been an integral part of my horses training routine. The sport horse uses their body in ways that can create muscle fatigue and discomfort. Thatβs where my body work comes into play. Letβs dive into what I do;
What is the difference of myofasical release vs. massage therapy, and how can it help your horse?
β¦ Through my myofascial release therapy, I focus on restoring the necessary slack in the connective tissue web (fascia) that supports soft tissue structures and muscle fibers to help eliminate soundness issues and enhance a horse's performance.
β¦ My massage therapy services help loosen muscles beyond the fascia. Massage will facilitate laxity for muscle tissues experiencing lactic acid build up in strained, tired, and over exerted areas. This will also aid in chiropractic adjustments and improve their longevity.
How regular massage sessions can help your horse;
- extends the health, well being and overall quality of your horse's athletic career
- boosts athletic performance and endurance
- improves disposition, relaxation and reduces stress
- prevents injury
- reduces inflammation and swelling in joints relieving pain
- increases range of motion
- eases and releases muscle spasms
- restores loss of function after an injury
- improves blood and lymph circulation
- relieves tension by restoring relaxation to stressed muscles, tendons, ligaments
& joints
- increases production of synovial fluid to the joint
- improves pliability of fascia
- reduces danger of fibrosis
- releases endorphins
- restores musculo-skeletal balance
- prevents loss of mobility and restores mobility to injured muscle tissues
- prevents muscle adhesions
Reach out today to book a session and see the benefits of equine massage!

Here is a great example of thoracic weakness, how to identify it and how regular body work paired with a quality training program can help!
Todays client presented tension through the occipital structures, TMJ, and neck (brachiocephalic muscle) . Upon evaluation it was noted there was a significant concavity infront of the scapula with notable tension in the trapezoid.
A dip in front of the withers is always a concern. It is a sign that the horse's thoracic sling is not properly developed and not functioning as it should. A dysfunctional thoracic sling will always cause further issues down the line.
I was so happy to see such a great response to the myofascial therapy provided at todays session! Onward and upward, literally and physically, for one of my two sponsored sport horses, Pudge!!
Some typical problems that accompany a dysfunctional thoracic sling are:
1.) Unabalanced hooves
2.) Poll tightness and TMJ issues
3.) A tight lumbar area
4.) Minimal range of motion through the ribcage
5.) Intermittent lameness in the front end
6.) Lack of suppleness through the shoulders
7.) Tightness through the brachial muscles
8.) Contact issues
9.) Unbalanced gaits
10.) Unwilling to move forward etc.
If your horse has one or more of these symptoms itβs time to make some changes!! Reach out for details, letβs get your horse performing and feeling their best π€

Titan living his best life post body clip. β€οΈ
π During a massage session horses will experience an influx of change within the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system. When the parasympathetic system is triggered, the nervous system begins to relax, in turn allowing the body to release feel good hormones like oxytocin, endorphins, dopamine and serotonin. Here you can see my old friend Spirit, a 30yo quarter horse who enjoys a weekly massage every Friday night. (His momma is so good to him π) reaching parasympathetic state and reverting back to sympathetic state (the nerve function in the body that drives the βfight or flightβ response) when he feels the deeper treatments of my myofascial release therapy vs my Masterson method bladder meridian technique. I introduce, and start, all of my sessions with the bladder meridian work to allow the horses nervous system to relax and reach a parasympathetic state, allowing me to manipulate the fascia and muscle fibers easier and more comfortably. Shown in this video I am beginning to work towards my myofasical therapy once the bladder meridian has been addressed. Spirit very politely asks me to go back to a previously treated spot for more bladder meridian tension release. And gives me the sweetest βthank you.β This is why I love what I do. For the love of the horse π₯°
Even with a busy barn full of kiddos and school ponyβs Ella tapped in and fully enjoyed her session this afternoon! Curious on how the @mastersonmethod bladder meridian technique can help your horse? Reach out for details and to book a session! Your horse will thank you for it π₯° #equinemassage #sporthorse #equineholistichealth #rhodeislandequestrians #devineequineri

A great example of my Myofascial release therapy. My services are recieved differently by each of my clients. Some are more than happy to let me get in there and release tight and uncomfortable areas, and others are a bit more protective. Understandably. In this short clip, my friend Dash tells me where itβs uncomfortable, and to please be gentle. Quickly finding where heβs experiencing tension through his brachiocephalicus branching up to his trapezius, I offer some relief. Adjusting my pressure to his comfort level, pin pointing the problem area, allowing him to step into my trigger point to help find the release and boom! Instant relief followed up with very visible and very appreciative releases of tension. Watching them find and experience comfort is such an incredible experience and it will never get old for me. π₯° β¨This is the last week to take advantage of my 20% off two or more bookingsβ¨ Reach out today to get your equine friend in the books for a well deserved spa day!
