‼️ Stretching ‼️

Following on from treatment I will complete some complimentary stretches. These are always applied after treatment once the horses muscles are warm, as you should never stretch a cold muscle.

During the treatment you may even notice your horse begin to stretch themselves, as I work through and release restrictions and tension in the muscles and fascia.

The benefits of stretching include:

➡️ Improves range of motion and stride length
➡️ Increases elasticity of the muscles, ligaments and tendons
➡️ Reduces risk of Injury
➡️ Improves coordination
➡️ Increases blood circulation and lymph drainage
➡️ Increases oxygen and nutrients to the body tissues
➡️ Promotes relaxation and proprioception
➡️ Reduces muscle tension

‼️Improving top line - Backing up ‼️

⏪ Backing up ⏪

A great exercise for:

✅ Strengthening the hindquarters
✅ Engaging the core
✅ Mobilising the spine
✅ Improving straightness and coordination
✅ Relaxing the horse

➡️ Start with 1 or 2 steps and increase the number gradually over time

➡️ The horses limbs should move in diagonal pairs

➡️ Aim for backing up with the head lowered and relaxed

➡️ To encourage straightness you can back up between poles or use a fence or wall to guide

➡️ To increase flexion and difficulty switch to backing up an incline

➡️ Always work within your horses range of fitness and ability, increasing duration and incline gradually over time

‼️Improving Topline - Hill work‼️

➡️ Hill work allows the horse to alternate between using the forehand and hindquarters, engaging the back, cervical muscles and thoracic sling

➡️ Walking uphill engages core muscles and improves strength and joint mobility

➡️ Trotting uphill increases impulsion, improving cardiovascular fitness aswell as topline muscle

➡️ When walking downhill horses shift their weight backwards strengthening the muscles along the spine and croup

➡️ Always work within your horses range of fitness and ability, increasing duration and incline gradually over time
