22.01.2022 Fascial fun working on creating education. Fascial manipulation is a manual therapy the requires a good working knowledge of anatomy and physiology. Fascia a...nd muscle act as the rigging that allowed the body to remain vertical. Fascia spirals in and out, this spiral arrangement of collagen fibers allow for movement with out loss of stability. Superficial fascia blends with deep fascia in the distal limb it acts as a mechanical and thermal cushion . This gliding movement hides the tension that takes palace in the deep fascia. Deep fascia is formed by connective membranes that form sheets over the muscles, it forms sheets for nerves and blood vessels and surrounds organs. It binds all the structures together. In some areas the deep fascia duplicate itself to form the deep laminate especially around the spine and vertebral muscles Epimysium is deep fascia that encloses a single muscle , these structures then subdivide into muscle bundles The body’s fascia is arranged in plains. Fascial depth is created embryological through development when it stats to fold in on it self so even though we have fascial plains it all started from a single plain. Fascia is anchored at boney stations or attachments ,where fascia fibers, muscle epimysium or tendon are integrated or continuous with the periosteum of the bone or the collagen matrix of the bone. Most of these bone attachments have communication with the next fascial attachment bone on the superfical plain rather then the deeper plain. Fascial plains regularly interweave joining or splitting from each other. These place of splitting or interweaving require the body to make choices in force transmission depending on posture and activity. Some of theses attachment bones are areas where force vectors meet and cross over creating multi tugs forces around the bone. We can use bone position and orientation to showers us the dominating tug. As a therapist it is vital to know and understand which bones in the horse are particularly subject to these force vector and where the fascial lines meet their next roundhouse. When we talk about articulation we are generally referring to bones. Meaning an area where two bones or bone and cartilage attach for the purposes of motion. Soft tissue need to articulate in the same way allowing for a sliding motion between structures and tissue, fascia articulates.

13.01.2022 Here are two pencil sketches to compare. The first is a piaffe, executed with strength and alignment. The second is a piaffe created through compression and for...ce. Both are reproductions of true images. Look, I’m the first person to admit that I’m not the world’s best artist... but I’m trying to illustrate a point here, not win the Archibald My point is this - It is time that we really invest in looking deeper at the bodies of the horses who are performing today, from grass roots to grand prix level. Our own horses and our friend’s, our mentor’s horses and our heroes’. We need to question and think critically abut our training methods and the path we travel to reach our goals. As consumers of the equestrian art form, we should not be afraid to investigate the training philosophies and methodologies of the riders we admire. It is absolutely possible to look deeply and critically at an artwork without attacking the artist, and so it is also possible to look deeply and critically at a ridden performance without attacking the rider. We need to become vigilantly aware of the posture and structure of our horses, because it is our job to look after them. It is our job to give everything we can to them with the best of our abilities. And if we get stuck doing something ‘we always did’ because that’s ‘what we’ve always done,’ it might be time to look a little deeper. PS You don’t have to be able to ride the movement in order to analyse the posture. Question everything its how we learn

13.01.2022 With physiokey we promote an autonomic response in the body: First a Sympathetic Response in some cases patients may begin to perspire, heart beat and blood pressure increases slightly, and the patients feels warm, Second, Parasympathetic Response after 10 to 15 minutes of physiokey therapy, most patients become relaxed, their heartbeat slightly decreases, and their blood pressure normalises, principally from a release of endorphins etc. The sympathetic nervous system is... faster-acting than the parasympathetic system (that's why it kicks in first ), and moves along very short, fast neurons. The sympathetic nervous system activates a part of the adrenal gland named the adrenal medulla, which then releases hormones into the bloodstream. These hormones activate the target muscles and glands, causing the body to speed up and become tense, as well as more alert. Functions that are not immediately essential (like the immune system) are shut down to some degree. The parasympathetic, or rest and digest system is a much slower system that moves along longer pathways. The parasympathetic response is responsible for controlling homeostasis, or the balance and maintenance of the body’s systems. It restores the body to a state of calm and counterbalance, and allows it to relax and repair. See more

06.01.2022 WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE THORACOLUMBAR FASCIA! GETTING ON MY SOAPBOX !! Lets talk about fascia, piloerection and dermatomes! ... All to often I see horses backs that tell a story or rais issues. Learning to look at the texture,and the topography of the equine back is important. PEOPLE WHEN YOU SEE WRINKLES, DIVITS, LUMPS AND BUMPS, STRANGE HAIR PATTERNS, STRANGE SWEAT PATCHES AND IMOBILE SKIN YOU MAY HAVE A PROBLEM. DERMATOMES are zones of skin whose sensory input is "assigned," so to speak, to individual spinal nerves. Each nerve root has an associated dermatome, and each dermatome is supplied by many branches of that single nerve root. Dermatomes are a bit like highways through which information about sensations in your skin related to your central nervous system. Sensations such as pressure and temperature, are transmitted to the central nervous system via nerves that converge on single nerve roots. When a spinal nerve root becomes compressed or irritatedoften because it comes into contact with another spinal structurethe result is often seen in the coat of the horse. PILOERECTION - The scientific term for hair standing on end is. It’s a reflex that causes tiny muscles near our hair follicles to contract and raise the hairs. This can be caused by a number of stimuli for example, cold weather will cause the hair of the horse to raise and then fall back, where it will trap warm air close to the skin ,this action creates insulation. Another cause of piloerection is the sympathetic nervous system. This is a series of autonomous reflexes that are activated when danger is sensed and manages a bunch of physical reactions to get ready for action. In addition to quickening the heart rate and activating the sweat glands, the horses body raises our hair in order to look bigger and tougher to a potential threat. Interestingly, this reaction to danger will causes goosebumps from musical stimuli in humans. THE THORACOLUMAR FASCIA is a tough membrane composed of three layers that cover the deep muscles beneath the back, covering the thoracic spine. Muscles are also enclosed within the layers. This fascia tissue crosses the entire back area. This transitional area between the front and back half of the body allows forces to be transferred as needed for athletic and daily movement. Besides enabling movement, the thoracolumbar fascia is also important for stability and sensory roles. Some tasks can take a toll on the fascia, resulting in thoracolumbar fascia back pain or a loss of mobility of this tissue over time. Excessive strain, overuse, repetitive stress or having poor posture when carrying a rider can lead to dysfunction. Besides back pain the horse may develop adhesions and scar tissue that can diminish strength and range of motion. Pain in the back will also cause the horse to alter motion to compensate for the discomfort, leading to pain elsewhere in the body. These symptoms will worsen over time. An important note the thoracolumbar fascia players a role in maintains internal abdominal pressure(IPA) insufficient IAP leads to poor stability and compensatory lumbar and hip compression. The high number of mechanoreceptors found in the thoracolumbar fascia indicates that the fascial connective-tissue system provides an important sensory feedback role for the body. Signs of TLF Dysfunction What are some possible signs of an overworked / compensated Tightness and increased tone in the lower thoracic and lumbar spine. Increased lumbar lordosis with chronic lumbar spine pain / fixations. Sacroiliac joint locking. shoulder and hip pain. Inability to expand the rib cage with diaphragmatic breathing. Hip joint fixation with decreased range of motion. Altered gait patterning. Poor cross chain diagonal movement. Sub-occipital restriction or pain due to the fascial attachment via the "superficial back line" and pull on the nuchal ligament.

06.01.2022 Always a good idea to video yourself to make sure that you are getting your horse engaged correctly, especially when you don't have an instructor to yell at you.

02.01.2022 EQUINE BACK MOTION A lot of people have been asking on the earlier saddle post today about how much the horses back moves during exercise. There are a fair numb...er of papers now published on this but visuals are always good. Here is a short video of a horse walking and trotting on a treadmill viewed from above with painted markers along the spine and IMU's (orange) to record motion.
