Hey y'all! 👋🏼
Just wanted to hop on here really quick to say there will be some changes coming starting on February 1, 2024!!
As soon as I have everything figured out & set in stone, I will make another post.
Please stay tuned!😄

Also, I have VERY limited appts available this month!
I have a limited time slots on:
1/19
1/20
1/27
1/28

🌟if you would like to schedule for one of these dates, please send me a PM.

🌟Positive Postural Patterns arise from the ability of the horse to be pain free, with the correct muscles engaged and in the correct way, effortlessly 🌟

As I am putting together the case study page on my website (a long time coming!), I couldn’t resist sharing this little comparison photo from before and after a treatment with a few annotations on the key differences between the two.

In each treatment, the aim is to use neuromuscular release techniques to relax the negative muscles, and then through mobilisations and movement patterns, encourage the horse to engage the correct ones. This is very much a targeted stacking effect, but with the sustainability of the horse’s body in mind ♥️

The aim, above all, is to not have the same problem occur through the body again. I always say to my clients that I shouldn’t be coming back and treating the same thing over and over again, otherwise it’s a sign that the horse is not progressing.

I discuss more about this in my mini Online Course “Developing a Therapeutic Eye”.

Join here: https://vetphysiophyle.co.uk/product/developing-a-therapeutic-eye-online-course/ ! It’s a Facebook membership group that has a series of different webinars and resources about posture, groundwork etc.

The Case Study page on the website will be launching soon, and I will be sharing more information about each case — from tendon tears, chronic poor posture, suspensory ligaments, and much more!

2023.
I am so very thankful to be leaving this year on a good note! 2023 had a LOT of big changes & even new beginnings.🥰💕 In August, Flyin' B became a year old.🥹 Do y'all know how truly happy that makes me? I'm not gonna lie, I love what I do so much, I feel like I've only been doing it for a few short months. 😂 I am definitely hoping & praying my body & future circumstances allow me to do it for many, many, MANY years to come.
I have met so many wonderful & incredible people (& of course horses) this year. I have also grown as a person, equine massage therapist, & certified MagnaWave practitioner! I have learned & retained a whole lot of information this year! I could go on forever about how thankful I am for this year, this business, & my people. Without y'all, this business & I would not be anywhere near where it is today. I appeciate every single one of you on this page SO much. I hope you all have a safe, prosperous, & wonderful new year!🥂🥳

One of the most poignant questions I had during my first year of study was…

𝗔𝘀 𝘃𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀, 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻/𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻/𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 “𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀” 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻? 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺?

In essence, by decreasing muscular hypertonicity and pain… are we taking away the horses coping mechanism? Whilst they may be more comfortable initially, surely the same problems will just continue to occur as we are treating the symptom (muscle) and not the cause of the ailment?

And it was this trail of thought that made me realise that you can use massage techniques and electrotherapy modalities endlessly, but without changes to the horses lifestyle regime and exercise values the effectiveness of treatment is short-lived.
To put into perspective, if we have a painful back because we have been lifting a heavy haynet without correct posture. We then see the doctor/physiotherapist/chiropractor/osteopath etc for treatment. Once the treatment is complete and the pain has subsided, it would be then 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒖𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 to lift the same heavy haynet again. For optimum recovery and long term health, you would complete your physiotherapy exercises… rest… and employ lifestyle changes (e.g. warming up the muscle before heavy lifting, not lifting or lifting with better posture). So why is it accepted for our horses to have their physiotherapy treatment, but then continued to be exercised in incorrect posture? In order to stop the cycle of the muscular tension returning or becoming chronic, therapeutic practices need to be employed on a daily basis. This can range from stretching, incorporating pole work exercises weekly, avoiding haynet use or even increased turnout.

2 more client hoodies are in.

Thank you guys for the continued support & love.🥹🫶🏽💜

It is Officialllll😍

I couldn't turn down a great black friday sale for something that I needed.
With that being said, I can now work from pretty much anywhere! I could always do that for massage & kinesiology taping, & now we can add MagnaWave to that list!!!

I now have a Jackery generator that will power my machine wherever! So, if you are traveling, I can now meet you.🥰

Did you know that MagnaWave can help you get over the common cold or flu? It helps by increasing blood flow to the area that is MagnaWaved which will bring white blood cells to help fight off the infection & red blood cells for oxygen while making the cell wall permeable allowing the cells to get rid of the bad toxins & take in good nutrients. If you decide to ever schedule a session while not feeling well, be sure to be drinking lots of water & eating as best you can as the detox can make you feel a bit worse before you feel better!💕

So, here I am bundled up on the couch with a good book, kleenexs, oils going, & MagnaWaving my back, chest & head trying to knock this nasty cold. I didn't take into account how much I would use my MagnaWave machine personally, but it sure has been extra handy. 🥰💕

11/26/2023

Good morning everyone!

I was wondering if there is any interest in getting a copy of notes after your session or your animals session? This would add a little bit of time to each session, but not much! Ive found a way to do it & have thought about it. I thought it may be helpful for those who have performance horses or those working with Chiros & vets or we can stick to texts!

Please let me know in the comments.😊

11/24/2023

I will be getting new business cards made soon with my married name & updated services. With that being said, what small businesses would I be allowed to hang some business cards? I travel up to an hour outside of Crawfordsville, IN. I have hung some up at TSC, & West Central Vet in Veedersburg.
Any suggestions are appreciated, thank you!🫶🏽

11/23/2023

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I hope y'all have a great Thanksgiving & get to spend quality time with the people who mean the most!

Safe travels & God bless!🙏🏼💕

Interesting read!

- Himalayan Salt is better for your horse than iodized salt blocks or loose salt.

Myth.

Himalayan Salt is 96% sodium chloride. So there really is no nutritional difference between Himalayan salt and your regular iodized salt block.

That being said, some horses do prefer a himalayan salt block to a traditional block and will consume more salt because of it.

“The best form of salt you can give your horse is the one they actually consume”.- Dr. Rachel Mottet, equine nutritionist

My personal horses have a hanging Himalayan salt block (Easy loves it, Jolie not so much) and 50g of Stride Turbo Mag BCAA daily.

What form of salt do you use for your horses?

Blood flow.

Let's talk about it & why it is so important! Most of it will be equine related, but will also be true for other animals & people!

The circulatory system is the powerhouse that energizes every biological function in the body. When an injury occurs, the body will rush blood to the injury which then provides all the cells(red & white) needed to help with recovery. Red cells are most important for their oxygen that they transport & are used for the removal of carbon dioxide. White blood cells fight off illness & help repair an injury.
Besides helping with injury, blood flow is very important to keep all the muscles healthy & strong, ensure optimal hoof health, help speed recovery after injury/illness, reduce pain or swelling, increase range of motion, etc.

I can help with blood flow in many ways (for our equine friends) by massage, kinesiology(also known as sports taping) taping, & MagnaWave. They all increase blood flow & have their own unique benefits! ✨️I am a certified MagnaWave practitioner for all pets, livestock, equine, & people.✨️

If you have any questions to see how you or your furry friend could benefit from this, please send me a message!

Check out this picture of a horse I massaged this weekend. I love getting to watch their veins open up & the blood flow increase as I work on them!😍

‼️PLEASE READ THROROUGHLY & INITIAL ONCE READ.‼️

Alright y'all, first & probably biggest change is that we are going to the electronic side!

This means there will be text/email reminders, invoicing, & receipts! You will be able to confirm/cancel appointments!
I do have online booking set up- I'm just not entirely sure if it will work out due to me being a mobile service & sometimes I have to travel an hour plus to my next destination!

Also, if you have questions or need to schedule, contact me through this business page or text.

✨️I will no longer be taking payments through zelle, paypal, venmo, etc. They will be paid through the invoice itself or cash/check. ✨️

The bucking bulls & horses definitely need love too.💕

Best of luck to everyone competing this weekend!!

Shout out to South Plains Rodeo Co for making this happen! Their next rodeo is Saturday, October 28th in Frankfort, IN.

“Ohhh this horse just has a little arthritis in his left hock, it doesn’t seem to bother him too much.”

Horses are prey animals and therefore great compensators; they will create alternative locomotive patterns to continue movement.

So, say this little bit of osteoarthritis causes a reduced range of motion of the tarsal joint. In an attempt to maintain stride length and hide this dysfunction to potential predators (because you never know when a lion could be waiting around the corner... or a flapping plastic bag!) the tarsal (hock) joint is rotated medially (inwards) during the swing phase of the stride. This results in asymmetrical & medial weight bearing through the digit (hoof). This places additional stress through medial hamstring muscles, resulting in muscle tension and trigger points. And this is all something that is potentially going on in the affected hindlimb.

A hip hike/drop can occur at corresponding phases of the stride, placing the sacroiliac joint under stress, resulting in paraspinal and asymmetrical gluteal tone/pain.

Decreased impulsion from the left hindlimb leads to increased weight bearing through the right forelimb diagonal. This can create tension and hypertrophy to the right pectoral muscles and related fascial planes.

The spiral of compensation could continue on further, affecting cervical muscles that become hypertonic as a result of weight shifting, digit shape and size, TMJ pain, head tiling, hyoid dysfunction, asymmetric tail holding...

Check ligaments may strain on the overloaded limb, saddles may slip, mouths may open, head shaking may happen. And that doesn’t mean we have to put on a flash noseband, non-slip saddle pads and wear spurs to get more impulsion from the left hind that is through and through p a t h o l o g i c a l.

Often it can be the case where I see a horse that is a chronic stage of compensation and it can be difficult to find the true cause especially when the horse may appear just overall “stiff”.

I liken the rehabilitation of chronic cases to peeling the layers off an onion; one layer at a time and piece by piece to unravel and rewind the compensation spiral. 🐴

If this sparks a thought in anyone’s mind that actually, their horse may be suffering with this kind of pain presentation — follow your gut, trust that you know what is best for your horse and have your vet, physio, farrier, nutritionist, saddler, trainer all work with you and your horse to improve their comfort 🥰

Java got to enjoy his MagnaWave session Saturday to help relieve some muscle tension & soreness, along with helping his sarcoids!

DID YOU KNOW?
You or any animal, can have MagnaWave up to twice a day for 6 days a week? Just make sure there are at least 6 hours between each session!
What determines the length of the session & how often sessions should be scheduled depends on what is trying to be accomplished, the severity & length of a condition, or just how much you enjoy it.😊
