✨ Reactions like this never get old.

This horse’s owner noticed he was showing signs of back soreness, so I focused this session on his thoracic and lumbar regions. He immediately let me know we were on the right track.

Several minutes of yawning and a huge stretch midway through the session are often signs of relaxation and tension release. Watching horses communicate through their body language is one of my favorite parts of this work.

One of the best things about Acuscope & Myopulse therapy is that the work doesn’t stop when the session ends. Many horses continue to process and respond in the days that follow.

Message me with any questions or to get on my schedule, I will travel!

Throwback to that time I got to work on a Zebra!

I was able to work on a horse of a different color today and it was pretty neat! Flip Flip the Zebra sure enjoyed his Acuscope & Myopulse session!
It was really interesting to see how he responded differently than the horses but he was such a willing patient. I can definitely say he’s my favorite zebra 😝
Thank you Tammy Rowland for trusting me with your special guy, he’s so much fun.

𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐯𝐬. 𝐓𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐬
Let’s talk about something that seems fairly simple but I don’t see enough people break it down for someone who may not know!

What’s the difference between them? What is their function?

𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 are tough, fibrous bands of connective tissue that 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬, stabilizing joints and limiting excessive movement.
A common ligament I see injured in horses is a suspensory ligament tear or strain.

𝐓𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐬 are a fibrous connective tissue that 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐞.
A very common injury in horses (especially performance horses) that I see is a Deep Digital Tendon tear or strain.

The suspensory ligament originates at the top of the cannon bone, runs down the back of the leg, and splits into two branches that attach to the sesamoid bones at the back of the fetlock joint. Its primary function is to stabilize the fetlock, preventing it from sinking too low to the ground under the horse's weight. It also helps store and release kinetic energy, aiding in forward propulsion.

The Deep Digital Flexor Tendon (DDFT) in horses is a critical structure running down the back of the leg, originating in the forearm, passing through the carpal canal, and inserting on the coffin bone (distal phalanx). It acts as a primary flexor, supporting weight and absorbing massive force, especially during jumping or high-speed, often leading to injuries like strains or tears, particularly within the hoof capsule.

Do these examples help explain the different functions in tendons and ligaments?

These are very common injuries I see and have worked with the last few years!
These injuries need to always be diagnosed by a veterinarian!

So many animals can benefit from this therapy!
This is so cool!

Another common area of concern in performance horses: the 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗼𝗰𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘂𝘀.
The brachiocephalicus is a large, superficial muscle running from the base of the skull/neck to the upper forelimb.

What is the action of this muscle?
It moves the head and neck to the side. It is essential for extending the head and neck and propelling the front leg forward.

I often see this muscle get sore in barrel and rope horses. A lot of rope horses pull, so they exert this muscle!
Soreness in this muscle usually presents with a shortened stride and flinching upon palpation.
This is one of my favorite areas to work on and I have protocols explicitly for this muscle!

Message me for more information, with questions or to book a session!
I am available for travel, haul ins, and long term rehabilitation!

What are some common areas of concern I see in performance horses?
There are several but today I will start with the 𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐬.
The semitendinosus is a major, superficial hamstring muscle in the horse's hindquarters, located between the biceps femoris and semimembranosus.

What is the action of this muscle?
It extends the hip and hock joint; flexes the stifle and rotates legs inwards.

With rope horses and barrel horses, horses that stop and turn hard, I often see soreness in this muscle and can usually be found with a palpitation or simply watching them move.
Horses with a sore semitendinosus muscle may show a shortened stride and inability to bring the leg forward.

I have several protocols I use to work on this muscle!
Message me for any questions or to book a session!
I am available to travel, for haul ins and for long term rehabilitation!

Some fun and interesting explanation of the Acuscope audio! ❤️

✨ Exciting Addition to My Rehab Program! ✨

Thanks to my amazing friend Tayla Moeykens, I’m thrilled to officially add XLR8 Equine Red Light Therapy to my rehabilitation and performance program!

This is a powerful new tool that offers cumulative benefits, meaning the more consistently it’s used, the greater the impact on healing, recovery, and performance optimization. It fits seamlessly into my program because Acuscope and Myopulse therapies are also cumulative in nature, working together over time to support the body’s natural healing processes rather than providing one-time or temporary relief. Red light therapy complements this approach by enhancing circulation, cellular repair, and long-term tissue health.

Using red light and near-infrared wavelengths, the Redline bell boot is designed to target issues in the hoof and lower limb by promoting circulation and reducing inflammation. Its proven anti-inflammatory effects and vasodilation help relieve pain and support healing for conditions such as laminitis, navicular, and a variety of hoof, tendon, and ligament issues.

🌟 Red Light Therapy Benefits:
• Reduces inflammation in joints, muscles, and chronic pain conditions
• Soothes muscle soreness and speeds post-workout recovery
• Natural pain relief by stimulating the body’s own endorphin release

I’m excited to start offering this as part of every horse’s stay with me. If you’re curious whether these therapies will benefit your horse or if you have any questions, feel free to message me 🤍

Thank you again Tayla for being such an amazing and supportive friend!
If you’re looking into getting your own XLR8 products, message Tayla! She is super knowledgeable and uses this therapy on her horses ALL the time and always has good deals to offer!
