Treatments

First of all, when I see a horse I take a history and ask what particular problems the owner is seeing. I then do a physical examination palpating the spine, muscles and checking the mobility of the limbs. On completion of the session, I offer advice in terms of training and exercise regimes, together with stretching exercises - and I also like my clients to feel that they can call me at any time for advice or to discuss their horse.

Equine body working
(equine massage)

Treating your horse with equine massage offers many benefits, from improving circulation, reducing swellings and relieving spasms and pain, which in turn improves the range of motion and performance of your horse.

Muscle problems can be caused by a multitude of reasons: training, accidents, unbalanced feet are just a few of the reaons how the muscles can be traumatised. These problems with the muscle tissue can show up as stiffness, reduced range of motion, obvious soreness, poor recovery rate after exertion and even adhesions if left untreated. Muscle problems can also result as a secondary consequence of skeletal imbalances, which is why both spinal therapy and massage work so well together.

How does spinal therapy work?

Mctimoney Corley is a complimentary therapy that aims to restore balance and harmony to the skeletal and nervous system. The spine is surrounded by muscle and ligaments which help support the spinal vertebrae; daily stresses and ever increasing demands and workloads can put strain on the muscles, reducing joint mobility and, in turn, this can cause pressure on the nerves which exit between the spinal vertebrae. Whilst muscular spasms are painful enough, interference with nerves causes both discomfort and makes it difficult for the body to receive signals from the nerve impulses and therefore causes a host of problems around the whole body.

Mctimoney Corley therapy aims to restore muscle function, relieve spasms and increase joint mobility by using gentle palpation skills.
