Relief for your horse, right before your eyes
| Integrated Equine Therapies is a noninvasive, highly effective approach that addresses the core causes of lameness, metabolic and emotional dysfunction. I “Integrate” cutting edge proven modalities such as; Osteopathy, Cranial Sacral, Applied Kinesiology, Acupressure TCM, Reiki, and Medical Intuition to resolve acute and chronic issues at their deepest level; thereby restoring normal function. By unraveling these physical and energetic restrictions, the secondary or compensatory holding patterns can easily be rebalanced. A large percentage of my clients come to me frustrated, with chronic unresolved lameness’, metabolic, behavioral and training issues. I find profound success in most cases. Specific conditions: effective for an array of muscle-connective tissue problems, neurological issues such as head shaking colic, mal absorption as well as …… …. …IET is complimentary to allopathic veterinary medicine especially before and after any intensive procedure.Healing to me is more than just “fixing what’s broke”, It’s enhancing the vitality of the whole horse to achieve greater impulsion, speed, suppleness, and a more eager companion. This is where magic happens it is and where extraordinary results can occur. It is also where the interplay between yin and yang, left and right brain, science and intuition, logic and the heart…. can dance.
Why Integrated? |
Although anyone with mastery of a particular modality (e.g. chiropractic-spinal, acupuncture-meridian, massage-muscular/fascia) can and do affect a positive change in the horse. This approach, however often does not attend to the underlying cause of the dysfunction. Thus the condition returns or develops into a more debilitating state. For instance; most spinal issues are vascular (blood vessel), nerve, or organ problems.
Any organ imbalance will always cause adjacent and referred muscles/ fascia to be in spasm. In fact, it is rare to see even an elite equine athlete, who does not have some movement and spinal restrictions from an organ issue. Clearing organ imbalances will put an edge on performance horses of all disciplines, and create great relief in more severe cases. Common example: A horse with a sensitive back, a weak right hind leg, short forward stride, drags his toe, and has trouble holding his left lead ,and hip and stifle problems This usually presents with a kidney issue. Kidney imbalance will always cause the psoas muscle to be in spasm (hypertonic). The psoas is a major player in pelvic stability and helps to bring the rear leg forward. A constant 24/7 spasm of this muscle can rotate the entire lumbar spine, and rotate the femur medially causing stifle problems to name a few. By rebalancing the kidney, the psoas releases, and normal function is easily reestablished. To delve deeper, the kidney may be in imbalance from acute toxicity, unbalanced riding, poor saddle fit, a renal vein constriction, or even extreme fear( fear is the emotion for kidney in Traditional Chinese Medicine). By working with the root cause the horse will remain sound.
The True essence of what I do is I merge with horse.
Horses are highly energetic, intuitive animals ( beings??) who rely on their sensitivity of feel for their very survival. Becoming one with the horse is what all great horsemen have always done in any discipline. If you recall your most enjoyable time riding, it most surely involved being one with your horse.
I develop a connection with who the horses truly is… this creates trust, and a flow, his body responds and he becomes a willing active participant in his own healing. He will tell you what’s wrong, what’s right, and what he’s not sure of.
This is where magic happens, it is and where extraordinary results can occur. It is also where the interplay between yin and yang, left and right brain, science and intuition, logic and the heart…. can dance.
Clinics and Teaching:
My greatest passion is to teach others what I do and work with others to develop their natural connection which reawakens their true nature of themselves.
