It's a Very Merry Muscle Monday!! Have you gotten your favorite equestrian (or equine?) their gift yet? πβ¨βοΈπ΄
This week we're looking at the Trapezius! Get ready - this is a LONG one (pun intended)! This is a large, thin, two-part sheet (cervical and thoracic) of superficial muscles that joins the forelimbs to the horse's body.
The larger, cervical part originates along the nuchal ligament and attaches to the full length of the scapula β moving the scapula forward and upward. This portion of the muscle is part of the forelimb retraction chain, which works in opposition to the extension chain. It stabilizes the top of the scapula, which allows the rest of the chain to retract the forelimb and pull the weight of the horseβs body over the planted front leg. Strength within this chain is important for forelimb power and rhythm.
The smaller, thoracic part originates at the supraspinous ligament at the T3-T10 vertebrates and attaches to the top third of the scapula β drawing the scapula back and up and elevating the shoulder. The portion of the muscle is part of the forelimb extension chain and stabilizes the top of the scapula, which allows the muscle chain to bring the leg forward during the swing phase. Weakness in this area causes scapula instability and a loss of forelimb expression and reach.
Tension, spasm, or underdevelopment of the trapezius muscle can cause a reduction in scapula control, stride length, and forelimb asymmetry.
MagnaWave PEMF is a great tool if you feel your horse is sore or restricted in this area. Focusing this area during a full body session will allow for increased blood flow, better flexibility and range of motion.

So very grateful I get to spend each day around these incredible creatures π€ Iβm so inspired by their grace, forgiveness, and heart and being able to help them feel their best brings me so much joy π₯°
Another Muscle Monday⦠and this one is getting more complex! Read through carefully and stay tuned for a special holiday Trivia Tuesday!
The splenius is an incredibly important muscle that can be broken into two parts - the Capitis and Cervicis. This muscle starts on the spinous process of T3 to T5, from the thoracolumbar fascia and the nuchal ligament. It inserts into the nuchal crest and mastoid process of the temporal bone and the transverse processes of C2-C5.
The cervicis muscle acts to elevate and extend the neck AND head; the capitis muscle acts to elevate and extend the neck. Both are critical for lateral flexion of the neck.
In high performance horses, particularly dressage, this muscle will be noticeably developed as its critical for extended periods of lateral flexion. In horses exhibiting lameness, you may notice a head nod, this is the splenius muscle working harder to stabilize the neck during forward movement.
MagnaWave PEMF is a great tool if you feel your horse is sore or restricted in this area. Focusing this area during a full body session will allow for increased blood flow, better flexibility and range of motion.

I LOVE getting this feedback π "I can already tell how much your Magnawave has helped! I have never been able to get Belle to stretch down long and low no matter how hard I tried and here she is today doing it for most of my ride! Sheβs feeling so good!" Belle had some tightness in her back and with just a couple full body sessions, she's already getting much better range of motion and increased flexibility π₯° #treatyourhorse #equineathlete #magnawavepemf #equinepemfsuccess #equinepemftherapy #equinewellness #PEMF #magnawave #performancehorses #equinepemfsuccess #equinepemftherapy #equinepemf #equinetherapy #bendinglinebodywork
