🧠💃 Why is your bodyworker wiggling in the barn aisle?

Because sometimes, the best way to map a horse’s muscular problem… is to dance it out like a confused anatomy professor.
⠀
This visual comparing horse and human skeletal structures is a reminder that while our builds are different, our bodies share a surprising number of anatomical similarities.
⠀
So when you see me wiggling my shoulders, tilting my pelvis, or mimicking a horse’s hind leg swing while writing my session notes — I promise I haven’t lost it (yet). I’m mentally walking through:
⠀
✨ Where I felt tension
✨ What structures were compensating
✨ Which muscle chains are involved
✨ And how I can help release and re-pattern for your horse’s long-term movement health
⠀
The better I can feel it in my own body, the better I can help your horse feel better in theirs.
⠀
🐎💡 Bodywork is science, intuition, anatomy, fascia... and a little interpretive dance.
⠀
Thanks for trusting me with your horse’s body and letting me be weird in the name of wellness! 😄

🔍 What’s Really Going On in the Lumbosacral Region?
Let’s talk about a pattern many of us see — hypertrophy (bulk) at the lumbar spine while the gluteal region appears weak or atrophied. Why is your horse building up one area while lacking tone in another?

📌 This image highlights the relationship between three major players:
🔴 Longissimus Dorsi – key for back extension and stabilization
🔵 Medial Gluteal – powerhouse for propulsion, hip extension, and core support
💛 Thoracolumbar Fascia – the connective bridge between spine and hindquarters

🧠 These structures don’t work in isolation. They are functionally and fascially linked, meaning dysfunction or compensation in one affects the others.

🔧 So why might the lumbar area overdevelop while the gluteals underdevelop?

-Poor engagement of the hindquarters
-Saddle fit that restricts movement through the SI/lumbosacral junction
-Compensation for pelvic instability
-Lack of correct groundwork or ridden biomechanics
-Fascial restriction through the TL junction or gluteal tongue

💡 As an equine bodyworker, my goal is to:

-Release restriction in the thoracolumbar fascia
-Support healthy movement patterns through manual work and targeted activation
-Help you recognize signs of imbalance before they become soreness or strain
-Involve you in building exercises that restore healthy gluteal tone and core function

✨ It’s not just about the muscle — it’s about connection, coordination, and balance.
Let’s get to the root of the compensation, not just the symptom.

Core stability provides the strength and co-ordination for control, balance, posture and carrying weight. It can improve self carriage, enhance performance and reduce the risk of injury.

The core muscles include:
🐎 The thoracic sling
🐎 Abdominal muscles
🐎 Pelvic stabilisers
🐎 Deep ventral muscles

Ridden exercises to strengthen your horse's core focus on engagement of the hindlimbs to lighten the forehand. These include frequent transitions and half halts that encourage your horse to collect and push from behind.

Hill work and pole work using raised trot and canter poles are also valuable exercises.

In-hand exercises to strengthen the core include carrot stretches, backing up, walking over raised poles and back lifts.

🧠🫀 Meet the Core of Your Horse’s Core
This image highlights some of the most critical postural and stabilizing muscles along your horse’s spine — the Iliocostalis, Longissimus, and Multifidus muscles.

🔍 What do they do?
These muscles are part of the epaxial muscle group, running along the top of the spine. Together, they:

✅ Support spinal stability and posture
✅ Coordinate fine-tuned movements
✅ Absorb and distribute the force of motion
✅ Play a key role in collection and balance under saddle

💡 The Multifidus in particular is a tiny but mighty stabilizer muscle — often underdeveloped or asymmetrical in horses with chronic back soreness, poor saddle fit, or lack of core engagement.

✨ As a bodyworker, I focus on these muscles to:

Improve spinal mobility
Release restriction
Enhance core engagement and proprioception
Prevent injury and promote long-term soundness
👥 I love involving owners and riders in the process — learning to feel where these muscles are compensating, underused, or tight, and how to support them between sessions with simple groundwork, core activation exercises, or tack adjustments.

Your horse’s core health starts here. 🐎💪
Let's build a stronger foundation, one layer at a time.
