We received a question from someone whose horse had Kissing Spine surgery on 12/2020. During a recent vet evaluation for "sticking stifles and hind end soreness, X-rays showed a new spot." She asked, "have you had any testimonials where you could see a difference on xray after using ProSix?"
Does anyone who has used ProSix for rehab following Kissing Spine Surgery, lig snip surgery, or diagnosis have X-Rays and follow up X-Rays to compare and share? Would anyone kindly share a testimonial here, and describe how they used their ProSix during rehabilitation? Thank you!!

Treating a Symptom or Looking for the Cause?
When your horse is “off”, do you go through a mental checklist “fore or hind, diagonal limb or lateral affected too; hoof, ligaments, joints, higher? Neck, back, pelvis, hips? If you stop to focus on one area like icing a little inflammation, are you sure you’ve found the root of the problem? When/where did it start? What’s changed? Is this acute, or chronic? Or chronic with an acute symptom? Wish you could just ask the horse? You can, but you have to”ask” the right questions.
Whenever a problem is observed, consider the whole “picture”, assist the whole body internally, externally, mentally, socially, physically, and recognize that every single bit of this being has a purpose and an integrated part to play in the function of the whole.
Bodies are more capable of healing when correctly supported. When a problem is recognized with skin, muscle, GI, or respiratory, for example, a body that has good hydration, nutrition, adequate rest and relaxation, exercise, and socialization is better able to meet the increased demand of healing and rehabilitation.
We've all been taught to focus on the symptom, the problem, the joint, the ache. We make appointments with our doctor that are problem focused. We are often prescribed medication to see if that eliminates the “problem”. If there is a side effect from the medication, another is added to treat the side effect. And more problems are created. Where did it start? Too little time and money to go there; address the symptom and cut it out, cover it up, inject it, medicate it, suppress it, quiet it, stuff it down, suck it up,and carry on. Not acceptable.
Treat the symptom and neglect the cause, the symptoms will multiply and worsen. More body parts and systems will try to carry the overload, and they will break down too.
People approach their horses the same way. They notice a problem, and if they can’t recognize the physical origin, (yes, in a prey
Remembering Luna, a dog with Cerebellar Agenesis and the profound effects generated when she started wearing ProSix K9. If the cerebellum is responsible for coordinating movement, and this dog was born without one, what part(s) of her brain are receiving the information provided by the external stimulation on receptors and then coordinating movement? How does wearing ProSix stimulate the animal's nervous system to produce changes including control of spasticity, head movement, focused attention, attitude and confidence, and more? Research is needed!
We hope you enjoy our new video created by LaDolce in Marquette! A bird's eye view of happy horses is fascinating! We are so grateful for this wonderful journey, thanks so much to all who have joined us in our mission to help the horses!

Thank you Julie Frank, for filming Hank and sharing, and for all you do for the horses in your care at Rise and Shine Equine LLC.
Our ProSix Equine is an effective and supportive therapeutic modality for your horse when healing from injury or illness. It provides support, comfort and calming, enhanced proprioceptive awareness, pain relief, and strengthening as he progresses through the rehabilitative process. Balance and straightening develop with use, and this discourages the horse's development of and reliance on compensatory patterns.
We are often asked about how frequently to use a ProSix Equine and for how many minutes, how many weeks to continue, and how long to use for maintenance, strengthening and conditioning.
We can't offer you set protocols that would be appropriate in every situation with every horse. 1.Follow your professional healthcare provider’s recommendations for activity restrictions and precautions. 2.Assess frequently for the presence of pain signs/symptoms (including behavior and attitude), fatigue, exercise tolerance and mood.
Any protocol recommendations during rehabilitation should read more as a flow chart, beginning very conservatively and progressing as is safe for the horse and preventing risk of further strain or injury. Even when starting with a sound horse, we advise beginning with groundwork, and at a walk. Progression of time, speed, or intensity of work (footing, poles, etc) is brought in slowly and again, monitored carefully. The goal is to strengthen and heal effectively without risking a setback due to strain or injury. ProSix is a full-body workout, can build muscle and posture and balance very effectively even at a walk!
"How long do I use ProSix to start?"
We suggest minutes a day to start, approximately 10-15 minutes IF the horse appears comfortable. Monitor closely for pain and/or fatigue, reluctance to move, changes in movement. A small turnout, in hand, on a lunge line, or in long lines...all are fine options. Begin by allowing the horse to move (or not) as he chooses. Proprioceptive awareness and information from the stimulation of recep
