25.01.2022 Fascia Like the human body, your horse is composed of fascia, which is a three-dimensional connective tissue web that runs from head to tail. Fascia surrounds and infuses within every muscle, bone, organ, nerve, blood vessel, tendon, and ligament in the body. It surrounds every single cell in the body as it travels in one continuous web-like sheath from head to tail in the horse's body. The white, glistening fibres that are seen when you pull a piece of meat apart or when yo...u pull chicken skin away is fascia. This connective tissue web acts as a shock absorber within your horse's body. Throughout physical training programs or certain injuries, stress or trauma are too great for the horse's fascial system to handle and it becomes bound down, causing postural and gait deviations, loss of flexibility, and compression of pain sensitive structures in the body. When left untreated, fascial restrictions begin to tighten over time, pulling throughout the horse's body along this continuous web. Fascial restriction has the capability of pulling 2,000 pounds per square inch of tension in one area, this is an enormous amount of tension to overcome for a horse at any level. It is the cause of many problems that limit the performance of the equine athlete, including poor collection, balance problems, lack of flexibility, lead change problems, behavioural issues, sore muscles, back pain, and tendon and ligament injuries. This is why a whole body connective tissue approach works very well with other alternative methods such as acupuncture to achieve a smooth and unrestricted body. See more
25.01.2022 What is acupuncture? Acupuncture is the practice of inserting fine, sterile, solid needles into specific acu points located throughout the whole body to prevent and treat pain and disease. Acupuncture has been practiced for over 3000 years in China and is now being used worldwide in animals and humans patients. ... How does acupuncture work? Acupuncture works through the nervous system. Inserting acupuncture needles stimulates tiny nerve endings that carry impulses to the spinal cord and brain. This results in responses within the nervous and endocrine systems, leading to the release of neurotransmitters and hormones. In conditions that are not painful, acupuncture helps to reset the body’s normal functioning.

14.01.2022 What is Red Light Therapy Photonic Therapy is also referred to as red light, cold laser, or low-level laser therapy. Photonic light is in the 400nM to 700nM spectrum of visible light and works in conjunction with the body’s own healing at the cellular level. This method of healing is effective with many equine conditions including, but not limited to, muscle, tendon, ligament, and joint injuries and conditions, wounds, scar tissue and arthritis. Red Light can also be used to effectively stimulate acu points for those horses who are scared of or not needle friendly
