Who doesn't love a before & after?
Well I don't always love them...! As I've said in previous posts this is just a snapshot of how the horse presented pre and post McTimoney Chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue therapy. The treatment process is so much more than how the horse looks after a single session.
Can you spot where Apollo was restricted? 🦴
This was Apollo's very first McTimoney session as his owner wants to ensure he's nice and comfortable before she starts working him. He was a little apprehensive about treatment (and why I was stood by his bottom...) but he settled really nicely and showed some lovely releases.
In his 2 before pictures he is sloping down the left shoulder and rounding out on the right, accompanied by some atrophy of the right trapezius. He is restricted to the left through his early thoracics, then to the right and back to the left through his lumbars. The pelvis is rotated ventrally (down) on the left and tilted cranially (forward) on the left.
After (under the lovely heat lamps...) he is more even through both shoulders, his ribcage is lifted and he is more aligned though the back. His pelvis is now even 🦴
I cannot stress enough this is just a snapshot of the session, there is so much more that goes into keeping horses aligned, every case is different!
Thank you for trusting me with your babies Laura Bashford 💕
