“FES” is a profoundly effective muscle therapy. It is a controlled standing exercise, that excites deep muscle groups to contract and release. It increases function and manages back and neck pain, by particularly helping build topline strength by restoring motion and flexibility. This safe, non-invasive therapy is applicable for horses ranging from help with proprioceptive deficits, to strong competition horses that need help with straightness and soreness. Any horse showing symptoms of spasms, atrophy due to injury or surgery have found FES very useful in restoring muscle function. Performance horses benefit from increasing straightness and relieves soreness. Stall rest or rehabilitation patients all benefit from faster return to work by keeping muscles activated. Treatment is tailored to each horse with instant numerical feedback in real time, making progress easily calculable.

BIOMECHANIc WELLNESS EXAM

The GOAL is 3 fold, improving MOBILITY, a biomechanic eval, and creating a plan. A physical biomechanic WELLNESS EXAM needs to allow the horse to express themself, to tell us what and where is sore, restricted, painful or needs attention. Through manual therapy; meaning and massage, and assessing every joint from C1 to hind fetlocks; we gain an understanding and get a clear picture of what the horse is feeling. With a huge emphasis on explaining proper technique to allow the owner to confidently do the correct exercises and continue addressing the horse’s need themselves!

The goal is to share knowledge with the community to be more comfortable and feel empowered to feel and listen to their horses more confidently. I walk through the process of my routine and explain proper stretches with tips to tailer it for your horses.

Also available for “tech talks”, to do concise but informative lectures on the spectrum of what therapeutic modalities are available out there. I enjoy describing the spectrum, how they work, what they do and when they are appropriate.

Other lecture topics can happily be organized.
