Feet 👏🏻 Are 👏🏻 EVERYTHING 👏🏻

When your horse has injured itself and/or is recovering from an injury it is especially important to first address the feet to insure your horse’s angles are correct as they can be.

Everything starts with the feet! Improper angles can cause a wide variety of issues such as; back pain, joint problems, injuries, and so much more.

The horse pictured here is recovering from a strained suspensory. Could her inverted angles have played a role in compromising her tendons, ligaments, and stride to lead to this injury? It’s very well possible.

Now more than ever it’s important to correct these negative angles to take the strain off her ligament so she can heal more efficiently, effectively and get the most out of her therapies while here .

An amazing recovery ❤️‍🩹

Wow what an amazing recovery this guy has made. ❤️‍🩹 He sustained a pretty substantial injury that required surgery. Thanks to Montana Equine for trusting us with his rehabilitation. He made a successful recovery and is almost 100% back to his normal self.
He received many Magnawave sessions to help with pain management, inflammation, and promote faster healing.
Also, handwalking and daily bandage changes to keep things moving in the right direction.
We are happy to say he went home today ready to get back to his normal lifestyle!

Check out the next post of side by side video of the progress he has made!! 😱

🤩Wow!!!🤩

Look at her stifles, shoulders, and top-line muscles! Pictures do not do this mare justice. She has come a long way in a short time.

This sweet mare came here with a compromised knee. She needed to get in shape without the wear and tear of land exercise. We were able to utilize the water-treadmill to keep her fit without the impact on her joints. She also had several PEMF treatments to help with inflammation and overall wellness. We also implemented a complete feed change to help put on some weight and improve skin and coat conditions.

She is leaving today healthy happy and ready to rodeo 🐎

So many benefits to PEMF! 🧲

Lifted and toned!! 🔥🔥🤩

Her core is much stronger now to better support her back! Just look at the lift and definition in her shoulders. More defined and stronger stifles. I also noticed her withers are more supported by increased muscle.

She’s happy, healthy, and ready to start the season off with a strong start 🐎💪🏻

A great before and after representation of how the water treadmill can aid in correcting poor posture and balance ⚖️

The picture at the bottom shows this horse in what was his natural stance (we tried to get him to stand correctly but he simply couldn’t). He was lacking the flexibility needed to even make standing correctly possible.
When he was brought to me he had a very hard time standing “under himself”. He wanted to camp out his back legs and drop the middle of his back in an inverted position.
Improper balance and posture can leave your horse more susceptible to injury because they are not efficiently using their body and compensating in places they shouldn’t. Long term, it can lead to musculoskeletal problems.

This horse was in shape. He had great muscle mass and stamina. However, I noticed during his sessions the muscles that support his posture and balance were very weak.
When riding it can be hard to get your horse to hold a rounded balanced position and build core muscles that support them.
A lot of times our horses are able to hollow out their backs or compensate in places we might not even be aware they are doing while we ride.
This is where the water treadmill can play a crucial role…
It forces the horse to walk in a straight line, creates buoyancy in their core (rounding their back), increases stride length and reach therefore increasing range of motion.

After 8 swims he has more flexibility and is able to hold a correct posture. I recommended to my client doing 9 more swims to really solidify this foundational muscle so he can experience long term results. Keep in mind, as are people, each horse is different. Some horses require more sessions than others. That is why we customize a program for each horse’s specific needs.

**A strategic water level and speed was maintained in each swim where I saw the most reduced axial rotation and increased pelvic flexion.
