Result video! I am so so excited about Biggie's improvement, he is not 100% yet, but I'm confident with some work he can be. It's always so incredible to see my massage techniques enhancing performance and comfort in these athletes.

This one was a rocky start. After many injections and vet visits, it was time to try a new treatment, one at the root of the issue. Biggie's largest challenge is his left hind leg, and over time his compensation was causing discomfort elsewhere. Thankfully, it only took 5 days and 2 massages, combined with therapeutic stretching and some kinesiology taping. I was able to almost completely restore his movement and get him comfortable enough to go back into the training rotation. I'll be posting the result video separately, (Facebook won't let me post two videos together 😅). And the results speak for itself as to how well this method of restorative massage works!

Before and after, with some Kinesiology taping done on a horse with issues with stalking up, the tape did an excellent job in reducing swelling while he is recovering in stall rest!

A great explanation! And something often seen in alot of horses unfortunately. It can cause a unbelievable amount of stress on the horse's biomechanics, muscles and tendons. Very well said👍

The final palpation of this sweet race mare! The results were incredible!

05/10/2023

This is one video of a mare I treated a few weeks ago that noted a definite improvement within the first 10 minutes of her massage. She was incredibly reactive to even just my hands on the initial palpation. I was very pleased that I was able to use a Graston Technique tool on her at the end of the massage, this particular Graston technique tool singulates pressure better than a finger can, and can be fairly intense. And the best part about this massage was her improvement that stayed even after the massage was over! She ran her fastest race in her career only a week after her first massage with me. And I'm very excited to see her again and help her get back to 100%! I'll be posting an after video of the final palpation momentarily!

I spent some time in Kentucky this weekend working on some incredibly talented race horses! It gave me a great opportunity to use the Graston Technique on a group of horses who utilize their body very differently than my usual quarter horse clients, and I can say that I am not disappointed! These guys greatly appreciated my work and about slept the whole time, but even still, there were a few that desperately needed some body work done and I did not disappoint, stay tuned for some short videos of one particular client that showed 70% improvement in ONE massage!

04/18/2023

After my weekend at Otterbein University and some grueling class work I am proud to announce that I am now a Certified Equine Practitioner in the Graston Technique along with being certified in equine massage therapy! My main goal is it be be up-to-date as possible with all the newest techniques and knowledge to keep our equine friends as healthy and comfortable as possible.

It's crazy what massage can do!

In the initial palpation, this horse had major reactiveness and stiffness in his trapezius muscle and longissimus dorsi muscle along with having a large amount of restriction in his rhomboideus muscle. His right shoulder was braced due to acute discomfort, along with the beginning stages of atrophy with the right trapezius muscle. Note his head and neck placement in the before photo, no matter how many times I pulled head to get it straightened out for the picture, he fell back into that position. Fortunately it was something that resolved, and in the second picture he's quite literally taking a nap with a straight head and neck!

I treated him with stress point and myofascial release therapy, followed up with some full body stretches to help promote healing and allow his muscles to revive fully for the next day or so.

At the end of the massage when I did a final palpation he definitely had improvement! His shoulders have regained symmetry, and he is no longer reactive throughout his longissimus dorsi, along with his trapezius and rhomboideus muscles achieving full relaxation.

Feel free to DM with questions! I'm accepting new clients and would love to work with your horses!

The Effect of Ground Poles and Elastic Resistance Bands on Longissimus Dorsi and Re**us Abdominus Muscle Activity During Equine Walk and Trot

Karen Shaw et al. J Equine Vet Sci. 2021 Dec.

Abstract

Core strengthening and postural stability are desired outcomes of certain therapeutic exercises performed in horses. This study aimed to quantify changes in muscle activation at a walk and trot in horses traveling over eight consecutive ground poles evenly spaced (at 30 inches for walk and 48 inches for trot) in parallel fashion in a straight line, and with hindquarter and abdominal elastic resistance bands applied at 25% stretch. Surface electromyography (sEMG) data were collected for the longissimus dorsi and re**us abdominus muscles in six horses. A 2 × 2 repeated measures ANOVA was performed for each muscle to test for significant differences in differences in normalized average rectified values and maximum low pass signals. Within subject effects were reported, followed by post-hoc pairwise comparisons to evaluate differences between the conditions of with or without ground poles or elastic resistance bands. The use of ground poles at a walk resulted in a significant (p < .05) increase in the maximum low pass value bilaterally in the longissimus dorsi and re**us abdominus muscles, with an increase in the average rectified value bilaterally in the re**us abdominus muscles and right longissimus dorsi muscle. The use of ground poles at a trot resulted in a significant increase in the maximum low pass value bilaterally in the re**us abdominus muscles. The hindquarter and abdominal elastic resistance bands resulted in a respective 27% and 27.2% increase in the mean average rectified value of the left and right RA muscles; however this only reached statistical significance in the left RA (p < .05). These findings provide support regarding changes in muscle activation when using ground poles to increase core and epaxial muscle engagement. While a significant effect on core muscle activation was identified with the elastic resistance bands at a trot, further research is needed in this area to further characterize their affect on muscle activation.

Keeping your horse cool and relaxed in the heat is unbelievably important for there health. Click on the link below for a tip to do that for your equine friend!

08/14/2022

I am certified in massage therapy by the Animal Rehab Institute, and personally taught by Arline White of Loxahatchee, Florida. I use tried and true techniques mixed with modern advancement to increase your horse's skeletal mobility, and muscular abilities. My focus centers on myofascial release and work, along with taking them through the full range of motion, allowing me to analyze their ability to carry themselves in the best way possible. This allows your horses to have all aspects of their body revived and replaced to its most natural state. Most sessions take around 45 minutes, and even if your horse doesn't need a massage in therapy form, they can still enjoy a nice relaxing massage that will for sure be an aid in his training both physically and mentally.

Getting your horse to the top of his game,
So he can take you to the top of yours!
