Dogs can develop tightness in the thoracic muscles due to exercise, posture, or injury.

This can affect a dog's gait and posture.

Massage can help maintain spinal alignment and reduce compensatory strain on other body parts.

Regular massage loosens these muscles, enhancing comfort and range of motion.

A visit to the pony sanctuary today, met by theses cuties 💕

Massage is a natural and effective way to help these older ponies by addressing pain—not by covering it up, but by interrupting its pattern. It offers the horse’s body an opportunity to reset in a healthier, more balanced state—one where it is better equipped to handle daily stresses and demands.
By alleviating compensation patterns, massage helps reduce torque in the joints and strain on muscles, tendons, ligaments, and feet. It works to release muscle tension, break up fascial adhesions, and deactivate trigger points. As a result, it enhances suppleness in the muscles and skin, relieves pressure on painful nerves, and improves overall range of motion.

Cranial maintenance massage 💕
I love treating the horse’s head … so many nerves endings, so many fascia connections, a key place where tension is held…

Fascia- tissue paper thin tissue that can make your horses body (& ours) as happy or as unhappy as can be.
Head to tail to toes- EVERYTHING CONNECTS. Treat the body as a whole.
"Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve Tiber and muscle in place. The tissue does more than provide internal structure; fascia has nerves that make it almost as sensitive as skin."
So when you have a trauma related injury, a bad fall, or structural damage, things move. You might bring a chiropractor in to help your athlete out, rightfully so.
Well when they "don't hold their adjustment" it's typically because fascia has already adjusted things internally and re-learned how to be wrong instead of correct. So we have to release the fascia in order for the body to learn how to be correct again. Bring in Acuscope/Myopulse. We can help the body do some fascia release! My chiropractors, osteopaths ect.
Find that when I work on them before or after, things go hand in hand, and results stay put.

" - The left side is balanced and correct.
The right side, somewhere, something (fascia) is holding/ pulling on part of the body and throwing the whole body off. Causing over compensation, soreness, ect.
