23.01.2022 A truly special girl to be missed by many.

22.01.2022 Hey everybody We would really appreciate it if our amazing friends could please help us out in an easy way. It literally only takes a few seconds and would help our small local business grow in such dim times!! Facebook has a new feature that only takes a few seconds to do! Here is how easy it is to do, go to the top of this page, across the top, scroll across to ... ‘COMMUNITY’ Click 'INVITE FRIENDS' Click ‘ALL' Wait 10-15 seconds for the invitations to send It’s as simple as that Supporting small businesses doesn’t always require spending money. It can be as simple as sharing, liking and promoting us! Thank you all for your support! Copy and pasted from another small business, but supporting each other is what we are here for!

21.01.2022 Fat people don't race and can't compete in marathons. Neither can starved and malnourished people. The same applies to Hounds...

17.01.2022 Ballarat Saturday 30th November for anyone needing horses/dogs treated. Only limited spots available.

14.01.2022 ‘My horse has a sore back’...... is often the reason for a request to visit; ironically the most common reason for referral is poor performance so if the horse... is clearly uncomfortable it really is! ‘What causes a sore back?’.... How long have you got? Briefly, it could be any one or a combination of the following FEET : thrush, toe / heel angle, trim, negative palmar angle, hoof alignment, lameness, pain HIND END : hamstrings, hocks, stifles, strain, bony changes CONFORMATION : breeding, posture, deformity eg Roach back, long back susceptible to muscle / ligament strain, short back susceptible to bony lesions RIDER ISSUES : poor position, weight, rider musculoskeletal issues, unbalanced OLD INJURIES : soft tissue lesions, restrictive fascia, compensatory movement MANAGEMENT : not enough turnout, schooling on deep surfaces, workload not suited to fitness, poorly fitting rugs, slipping, age, poor schooling HEAD : issues with teeth, hyoid, TMJ, poll SADDLE / TACK : poorly fitting, heavy, chafing, uneven pressure, restrictive, painful INTERNAL ORGANS : ovarian pain, kidneys, ulcers DIET : sugar, not enough fibre, lacking magnesium / minerals FRACTURE : of thoracolumbar spine eg from fall / traumatic incident KISSING SPINES & SPONDYLOSIS :changes in vertebrae causing them to touch, degrade or bridge HUNTERS BUMP : ligament strain, age, inactivity causing muscle wastage making the tuber sacrum more pronounced ACUTE / CHRONIC S.I. Damage : ligament issues from slipping / twisting; poor performance, intermittent lameness, asymmetry in pelvis / hindquarters, plaiting, uneven action in hinds METABOLIC : PSSM / EPM leading to muscular tension affecting the back EMOTIONAL TENSION : stress, stereotypie behaviours eg weaving The owner, body worker, farrier may be able to eliminate many of these causes, but x rays, blood work and vet referral may be needed for a definitive answer.

04.01.2022 Lil Wayne experiencing the power of light tough & gentle movement to release tension held in the thoracic sling (& beyond)! Thank you Claudia Bolton for the opportunity to work with your lovely partner! He’s a gem! #mastersonmethod

04.01.2022 Did you know that dogs nails are ideally supposed to be clipped weekly to keep at the appropriate healthy length? The longer your dogs nails get, the longer t...he quick grows, and then it will take a long time to get them back to normal. Letting your dogs nails grow too long can cause balance issues, stability, and the inability to grip to surfaces as the nails start bending towards the other direction as they stand. This also comes with significant pain as the nails put pressure back into the toe pads! Trimming their nails regularly will allow the quick to recede over time. Ideally when your dog walks their nails shouldn’t touch the ground. Have trouble getting your dogs nails done? Know your pup has super long nails? Leave it to us! Book in for a nail clip while your dog is with us at daycare! $10 per dog Photo of Maverick the Viszla before & after

02.01.2022 I have been playing with diaphragms in the last two weeks and changing my approach to them with some amazing results. This has caused me to reread and update my... previous post on this subject with additional information and a better image to explain the connections. Breath is the hinge on which the door of life swings Before I start, lets make it clear the diaphragm is involved in all the bodies systems and it would be impossible for me to cover them all . As always the concept here is to simplifying extremely complicated connections in the body in order to bring awareness and open a discussion. The diaphragm - the diaphragm is a dome-shaped musculotendinous sheet separating the thoracic and abdominal cavities. It is convex on its cranial surface. The muscular part of the diaphragm is peripheral, surrounding the central tendinous area. During inspiration, the diaphragm contracts to increase the volume of the thoracic cavity, decreasing its pressure, thus drawing air in. The diaphragm relaxes for expiration. The diaphragm is more then a muscle for respiration, it is THE PUMP for the entire body! The phrenic nerve is a nerve which passes down between the lung and heart to reach the diaphragm. It is important for breathing, as it passes motor information to the diaphragm and receives sensory information from it and the peritoneal fascia. There are two phrenic nerves, a left one and a right one. The phrenic nerve is formed from cervical nerve fibers 3,4 &5. The phrenic nerves contain motor, sensory and sympathetic nerve fibers. The phrenic nerve also enervates the peritoneal fascia surrounding all the organs caudal to the diaphragm. The vagus nerve - the vagus nerve (again there are two nerves, one on each side of the body) is the cranial nerve that connect the brain to the body. It allows the brain to monitor and receive information about several of the body's different functions. Vagus nerve, also called X cranial nerve, the wandering nerve, is the longest and most complex of the cranial nerves. The vagus nerve helps control and regulate the heart rate and keeping the gastrointestinal tract in working order. The vagus nerve also carries sensory information from the internal organs back to the brain. The vagus nerve is also know as an inflammatory nerve. The vagus nerve runs through the crural region of the diaphragm, innervating this area. Here again we can see how the diaphragm has fascial and neurological connections that have body wide implications. The vagosympathetic trunk - the sympathetic trunk is a fundamental part of the sympathetic nervous system and part of the autonomic nervous system. Sympathetic trunk is formed from two long ganglionated nerve strands, the Vagus nerve and the Laryngeal nerve ,one on each side of the vertebral column extending from the base of the skull. Each trunk is part of the sympathetic nervous system and consists of a series of ganglia connected by various types of fibers. Research in humans has found that these symptoms can be linked to a dysfunctional diaphragm. Irritable bowel syndrome - think of those horses that have unexplained intermittent diarrhea or colic frequently. Chronic lower back pain - most horses have lumbar pain at some point. Chronic pelvic pain - most horse have some pelvic discomfort and /or SI issues Chronic headache - most horses get headaches. Temporomandibular joint dysfunction- I can count the number of horses i have treated that DO NOT fall into this basket on two hands. Depression and anxiety - weavers , cribbers, spookers, the angry horses and the dead broke bomb prof horses. It is important to remember how we affect the horse neurologically and physiologically by tacking up a horse and riding ; essentially we sit on their diaphragm. The diaphragm is attached to the ribs,each rib has two heads and coasta cartilage. The diaphragm is suspended from rib 9 to 18 , its dorsal attachment is T17/18 to L4 that is also the site of Psoas attachments where they share fascia, in fact if we keep following the fascia we will end up in the sacrum. On the cranial portion of the diaphragm there is a very strong fascial connection to pericardium which attached to the visceral fascia of esophagus and trachea all the way up to the hyoid. We use bits and apply pressure to the tongue and the lingual pallet of the hyoid apparatus affecting breathing by controlling their head position. We flex the poll, applying pressure on nerve ganglion. We use tie downs of various shapes and positions to keep the horse in frame and by doing so, affect the neck muscles and the breathing ; everything we do interacts with the horses diaphragm. So what now? You keep riding but when you tack up, you pay attention to the small cues your horse gives you. When working with your horses, really look at them; consider what their body is telling you. So how do we keep the door swinging? By addressing the horses body ,buy using correct training and buy using well fitted tack. We help them breath better by greasing the hinges and supporting the door, we think about what is happening when we girth up we acknowledge that a painful back or a girthy horse can have a bigger problem. I know this is a lot of information but take away is this simple, everything we do affects the doors ability to swing. All Rights Reserved 2020Tamara Elkayam
