Using tape as a support application and proprioception application during targeted specific exercises

A core taping I actually don’t use this core technique often enough it’s a really good one to engage the core, lift the belly, engage hind end and also good for back pain. Lovely one to compliment my bowen treatment 💗

Kinesiology taping has many benefits including assisting symmetry, properception, toning muscles, relaxing muscles and many more. Here we have used a couple of different applications (decompression, toning, support and relaxing) for a horse that is crooked resulting in compensation of the hind limb.

Fascia is fascia-nating!!!

Often completely forgotten in anatomy books or simplified as "extra" tissue, fascia is widely misunderstood. Here are some true facts about fascia.

1️⃣. Fascia is found in all creatures that have muscles, so think mammals, birds, fish and even reptiles!

2️⃣. Fascia has two primary functions, to "connect and protect". Fascia connects and intertwines with bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments throughout the body. Secondly, fascia protects the body by becoming dense and constricted in order to keep the body upright and functional during injury. This protective role is amazing from a survival perspective but often creates secondary pain in the body.

3️⃣. The human fascial network spreads throughout the body and has approximately 250 million of nerve endings. This means that fascia plays a big role in communicating posture, movement and body awareness (proprioception).

4️⃣. Think of fascia as a gel-solid. It is very strong and durable, yet impact to one region will spread throughout and impact all other regions (for better or worse). Fascia is described as "the system that affects all other systems".

5️⃣. The best way to improve the fascial health is stretching and manual therapies such as Rolfing, myofascial release, massage and acupuncture.

“Fox” getting her regular treatment yesterday. “Fox” is always very guarded with her treatments rarely gives any external tension release signals but yesterday she really opened up to me and connected. For the first time her eye softened and she relaxed her muzzle even gave some little chews and licks. It’s been almost 3yrs but it felt so good she let some of her guard down 💗 Body work is more than just putting your hands on a horse 💗

Hello everyone I have had to make the difficult decision to increase treatment prices to $75 for a bowen treatment and $85 for a bowen and kinesiology taping as of 1st July 2025. I haven’t made this decision lightly and I know we are all suffering with the cost of living this is the first price increase in about 3yrs I have had to make. Thank you for your understanding 💗
Please note if you are already booked in that will remain the old price

Treating the lovely Grace and Fox today post her endurance competition on the weekend. I’ve been treating Fox for a long time and she’s always been a bit guarded with her treatments but today she was much more open and accepting even some visual releases even though she didn’t want me to see 😜 sometimes you just need to be patient for them to let you in 💗
