🌟 Every Horse is an Individual — Their Care Should Be Too! 🌟

At Twisted B Performance Rehab & Fitness, we don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Every horse that comes through our program is unique — with their own history, movement patterns, strengths, and challenges. 🐴💪

That’s why we tailor each rehab and fitness plan specifically to your horse’s needs. Using a combination of proven therapy modalities — including PEMF, cold laser, Theraplate, ozone therapy, Equi-Resp, LifeWave patches, bodywork, stretching, and corrective exercises — we create a customized program designed to restore balance, relieve discomfort, and optimize performance from the inside out.

Whether your horse is rehabbing from injury, rebuilding after time off, or staying competition-ready, we adjust our approach to meet them exactly where they are in their recovery and training journey.

Because when every cell, muscle, and joint is supported the right way — your horse can truly perform at their best. 🦄✨

🦄 The Power of Bodywork & Stretching in Equine Rehab & Fitness 🦄

When a horse comes to stay here at Twisted B Performance Rehab & Fitness, bodywork and stretching are a huge part of their recovery and performance plan. 💪✨

These techniques do more than just make your horse “feel good” — they play a key role in:
✅ Releasing tension and tight fascia that restrict movement and cause compensation patterns
✅ Improving circulation to support muscle repair and overall healing
✅ Increasing range of motion and flexibility to help them move more freely and comfortably
✅ Activating stabilizer muscles that improve balance, posture, and coordination
✅ Preventing re-injury by restoring proper biomechanics before returning to full work

Every horse we see has their own story — whether they’re here for post-injury rehab, maintenance, or performance conditioning, bodywork and stretching help us reset the body so real progress can begin.

Because a balanced, pain-free horse performs better, recovers faster, and feels their best — inside and out. 💜🐴

Studies have shown that in horses with kissing spines (overriding or impinging dorsal spinous processes), the interspinous ligament often becomes inflamed or fibrotic.

This chronic irritation can lead to:

🔹 Increased sensory nerve fibers (hyper-innervation)
• This phenomenon, often referred to as neuronal sprouting, is common in chronically inflamed or damaged tissues.
• It heightens the area’s sensitivity to mechanical pressure, movement, or even mild touch.

🔹 Clinical Relevance
• This explains why horses with kissing spines can display dramatic or unpredictable behaviors under saddle, even if they don’t show clear signs of lameness.
• Pain from hyper-innervated tissue can be sharp, localized, and exacerbated by back movement, especially when the saddle or rider compresses the spine.

Massage therapy can be a powerful tool for horses with kissing spines.

Massage helps by:

✅ Reducing muscular tension
✅ Improving circulation
✅ Releasing fascial restrictions
✅ Reducing pain and discomfort
✅ Alleviate compensatory patterns that contribute to pain.

Over time, this support allows the horse to adopt a healthier posture—lifting through the thoracic sling, engaging the core, and reducing pressure between the spinous processes—ultimately promoting better movement and comfort.

🧠 Bonus Insight

This kind of neural adaptation is also observed in humans with chronic back pain, where ligamentous or fascial structures develop increased nociceptive input, contributing to pain sensitization and sometimes movement avoidance behaviors.

* The interspinous ligament connects the spinous processes of adjacent thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. It supports spinal stability and helps limit excessive flexion. In conditions like kissing spines, it can become inflamed, thickened, or fibrotic, contributing to pain and restricted mobility.

The Benefits of PEMF Therapy for Horses🌟

PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy is one of the most effective and non-invasive tools we have for equine health and performance recovery. Whether your horse is in heavy training, rehabbing from injury, or just needs a little TLC — PEMF can make a big difference. 💪🐴

✨ Here’s what it does:
🔹 Increases Circulation: Improves blood flow to muscles, joints, and soft tissues — speeding up recovery and reducing inflammation.
🔹 Reduces Pain & Soreness: Helps relieve stiffness, muscle tension, and discomfort from hard workouts or chronic conditions.
🔹 Accelerates Healing: Supports faster tissue repair in ligaments, tendons, and even bone fractures by improving oxygen delivery and cellular regeneration.
🔹 Enhances Performance: By promoting muscle relaxation and proper function, horses move more freely and comfortably — leading to better performance and focus.
🔹 Boosts Cellular Health: Recharges the body at a cellular level, helping restore balance, improve hydration, and support overall wellness.

💫 From sport horses to seniors, PEMF therapy is a safe, effective way to keep your equine partner feeling and performing their best.

Cold weather is coming, but that doesn’t mean performance and recovery have to slow down! ❄️💥 Keep your horse feeling their best with our rehab/fitness stays that include PEMF sessions this season.
