TCM traditional Chinese medicine explains Acupunture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force - known as chi Qi- believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body, by inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, Acupunture practitioners believe that your energy will re-balance.

Horses spine do not bend like a cat or a dog , I fact it’s horses only have 17%
Lateral spinal movement, compared to a dog that has 46% lateral spinal movement .

So how much can we bend our horse? In the Thorax, a little goes a long way. It's interesting how the area of most lateral flexibility is right under our seatbones, T11-T14.

So,there is something I've been doing a lot of over the last few weeks. It's not a hot topic in the equine world because so many people find it gross!
Today I'm talking to you about sheath cleaning!
If you have a gelding this is something you should be looking at doing regularly.
Did you realise that if a bean is left unnoticed they can create a multitude of problems for your gelding. They may have swelling, difficulty urinating, odour, behavioral problems. It is a good idea to check their sheath regularly but how tegularly depends a lot on how much sm**ma they are producing. Often an excess of smega production can mean that there is an imbalance in that area.
Beans are an accumulation of dirt, sweat & minerals from the urine that have hardened to form a 'pebble' hidden in the end of his sheath. If not removed these can often get quite big. For your horse this feels just as it would if you were walking around with a stone in your shoe.
Removal of this bean is not hard to do and if your horse is willing to 'hang it out' I encourage you to see what you can find, being mindful that he may be a little uncomfortable with you poking and prodding him. Remember, safety first.
If your equine partner is not so keen on letting you have a look I am now offering this service alongside my acupuncture services.
Acupunture has a very relaxing effect and I find that this offers the perfect opportunity for a sheath clean.
I am offering a reduced rate of $15- for this service when combined with an acupuncture session, alternatively, an appointment can be arranged for just a sheath clean.
I look forward to hearing from you soon. 😀

Any one have any annoying cough or sore throat ATM the moment ?
I found a very good article on acupressure (no needles )
it works wonders on my myself and on kids

We’re asked every now and then about acupuncture for kids. We love working with kids, but often times kids respond so well to acupressure alone, that dragging them into the office just isn’t necessary! This article is for a parent who asked about acupressure points for cough, and we figured she ...
