Down at Fulfilment Park yesterday afternoon I had the pleasure of working with Harriet, Sid & Saraha.

Saraha was having her routine treatment. At the moment we are focusing on her pelvic mobility as she's presenting very restricted through there. Treated with pelvic mobilisation alongside manual therapy.

Sid is coming back into work from a long spell which has done him wonders 🙌. This session was focusing on his main area of concern (AOC) which is his lumbar area. Treated by working on the epaxals and gluteals via manual and tissue mobilisation.

Harriet is in for breaking and was having a check over. At Fulfilment Park they make sure that breakers get treated as it's so important in their development and keeping them healthy and happy alongside keeping the breaking in process positive and no pain associations.

Harriet's session was all about introducing bodywork to her focusing on a remedial session which aids in recovery and releases tension.

Thanks 🫶

Love love trigger & stress point therapy 😍

As a equine myotherapist who has done further education on trigger & stress points I see so many horses benefit from this technique, as it helps with the horses neurological awareness as it's one focus point for them to tune into and release 😍

You can see the fasciculation go all along the epaxials when I'm actually treating into the pelvis where many muscles attach. Goes to show how interconnected the equine body is.

This is why I stand beside the team at Fulfilment Park, sharing the same values of giving every horse a chance to be heard and understood 🫶🏼

Good luck Casey Vandalee Park and Baloo 🫶🏼 I know you'll go out and absolutely smash it!

I have the privilege to work with Baloo on a regular basis for his bodywork and he always makes me laugh during our sessions! I know he'll have so much fun out there 😍

Come down to Werribee today to support this young cowgirl Vandalee Park who is taking Fulfilment Parks Baloo for his first eventing start.

This young cowgirl ALWAYS prioritises the horse’s soundness of mind and body, comfort and readiness for the task ahead.

It’s so important when working with horses that we listen to them and respect them, even the smallest signs, they are trying to communicate with us - remember they don’t speak our language.

Get around this bloody legend and head down to support her and Baloo today and tomorrow! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤️❤️❤️

Look at that shine 🥰.

Thanks again to Bec from Sleek Strides Clipping Ellie is looking amazing 😍.

Nutrition plays such a vital role in the health of muscles by supporting the process of muscle synthesis & recovery.

I personally have found the horses that I'm treating that have supporting nutrition tend to gain the benefits from a session more efficiently as equine nutrition and myotherapy compliment each other in the optimisation of fueling the tissues which aids in repairing and releasing tension to support recovery.

If the horse can recover effectively by having the proper building blocks from their diet this can help to minimise tight and tense muscles which results in better biomechanics and less compensation = happier muscles and a happy horse 🥰.

Shoutout to Hygain our ponies are on the allcare mineral pellets which helps to support their nutrition 🙌.

My books are now open for October 😊.

Thankyou too everyone who has supported and trusted me with their horses, it truly means the world to me 🫶.

This past Friday I also had the pleasure to work with miss Rain again 🥰.

She has continued to settle into her new partnership and is loving life going to the you gangs for trail riding.

This session with Rain we focused on mobilisation of the hyoid and poll as this is where Rain tension patterns present. She had lovely releases both within the muscles tissue and within the nervous system which is such a positive sign.

Rain being a young ott her 'window of tolerance' is shorter than others but that's pretty common with younger OTTs. Rain starts giving me the signs when she wants to end the session and I don't push past this communication.

Rain also has been given corrective exercises to assist in mobility and strength through the pelvis, expaxals & hyoid to keep that progress tracking.

This past Friday I had the pleasure to work with the old girl grace.

This was my first session with grace and she was so sweet 😍.

After going through my evaluation and creating my treatment plan I decided to go forward with a intentional 'focused' session.
My 'focused' sessions consists of working on the areas that need to take priority & needs extra time rather than doing a full body then extra work on the AOC which might put the horse out of their 'window of tolerance' and I will never push past that point.

(also 'focused' AOC treatments doesn't always mean I'm working on where the most visible soreness is presenting 🫢 but that's another topic for another post).

My 'Focused' sessions are designed to work within the horses 'window of tolerance' while providing quality over the quantity of manual work.

In graces presentation her body was in pretty tip top shape for an older girl however, the expaxals and gluteal tongue needed some love due to overuse from weakness.

After working through some other muscle groups & chains and the hyoid via manual work and tissue mobilisation, I then spent a majority of the session 'focused' on graces main area of concern (AOC).

Since this was my first time working with grace, I needed to learn her 'window of tolerance' and with graces case her soreness was presenting isolated to the AOC, this is what lead me to choose this course of treatment as there were no signs of major compensation in other areas.

Grace released beautifully and will have another 1-2 sessions to keep that progress continuing.

Graces owner was given some homework with carrying out corrective exercises to help strengthen up the core, lifting through the thoracolumbar spine and pelvic mobility.

I love giving extra insight to the why and how I go about each horses treatment to give you all a more deeper understanding as everything that I do is very intentional and I believe owners should know exactly the whys and how's of their horses treatments 😊.
