This therapy originated when an Osteopathic physician noticed a rhythmic movement during neurosurgery, leading to the discovery of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow. Using gentle touches along different parts of the spine, this technique influences and balances CSF fluctuations, restoring vitality and promoting self-healing
This technique addresses uneven tension between ligaments, returning them to their original length and normal physiological range. It resets the proprioceptive feedback in the joint, promoting joint health
Gentle movements test and promote joint health through mobility. This technique addresses joint restrictions caused by soft tissue tension, ligament strain, pain, immobility, dysfunctional movement patterns, and pathology. By encouraging proper joint movement, it helps reduce discomfort and improve overall flexibility and performance.
A transcutaneous electrical therapy hand-held device that alternates its frequencies and pulse shapes according to the skin’s electrophysiological characteristics. It uses feedback-controlled pulse stimulation to activate the body’s natural pain-relieving and self-regulation mechanisms, providing pain relief and restoring function
Organize a groom clinic for young or old horses to better utilize their bodies. These clinics are designed to improve the overall fitness and functionality of horses through targeted exercises and training techniques. They aim to enhance muscle development and body awareness, benefiting horses of all ages and disciplines.
Each Bomber bit is designed to distribute pressure over a larger surface area, reducing discomfort. Bit fitting aims to ensure happier horses and riders by addressing anatomical differences and preferences. A proper fit leads to better performance and comfort for your horse, improving communication and control during riding
The vibration of tuning forks within
living tissues results in a wave like resonance causing cellular “puffing” of nitric oxide (NO). Puffing describes the cell’s ability to make NO and subsequently release it into the surrounding tissues. The influx of NO results in cyclic relaxation followed by activation of cells. This phenomenon helps the body’s immune system, returns elasticity to blood vessels and eases inflammation and stiffness.
The 128Hz tuning fork is targeted to
treat acupressure points, joints,
muscles and nerves on a cellular level.
Osteopathy is a holistic, hands-on approach that recognizes the intricate interconnection of the body’s structures. It addresses issues from the exterior skin, muscle, and bone to the internal organs and everything in between. Treatments focus on the primary affected system, enabling the body’s self-healing and regulatory abilities to correct compensatory malfunctions.
EMAIL MEMy treatment approach aims to bring your horse back into balance, utilizing the osteopathic lens. I tailor my osteopathic models to the unique presentation of each horse, identifying primary causative factors within musculoskeletal, neurological, respiratory, metabolic, and psychological systems. Recognizing the interconnected nature of these systems, I prioritize the treatment of the primary system, ensuring positive effects ripple through the entire body.
Start with our Initial Assessment—an essential first step to tailor personalized care for your horse’s unique needs
Full assessment includes postural assessment, health screening, gait assessment, neurological assessment (if indicated)
Hands-off assessment is followed by a hands-on ‘body scan’, and joint assessment
A comprehensive approach considering the mind, body, and soul is crucial for effective treatment.
Learn moreThe body is a whole, made of many parts. All parts work together to create a functional unit. Where one part is dysfunctional, the Unit cannot function optimally.
Form and function are reciprocally interrelated, where the form or structure is compromised, so too is the function.
The body has self-healing and self-regulatory abilities.
The body is made up of mind ((behaviour/conscious decisions), body (Physical) and soul (psychological, and all need to be regarded to be affective in the treatment of one.
