Balanced Bodywork OKC - Human and Horse

05/17/2024

Hey everyone! Just a heads up: my social media wingman unexpectedly moved to Florida (we wish her the best). But fear not, I'm still here, navigating the digital world solo. While I may not be as active online, I'm diving into educational pursuits at the Ankrum Institute, focusing on advanced bodywork for humans as well as tutoring some amazing equine osteopathy students in their final year at the Vluggen Institute. Stay tuned for updates from my adventures!

My most recent highlight: I had a blast at 3F Ranch in Guthrie, OK, introducing Craniosacral concepts to the talented young women in the 3F Mentor Program managed by Amanda Colliver, where mentees develop a deeper understanding of all things equine, such as fitness, nutrition, handling and more - these students displayed impressive horsemanship knowledge and skills! Excited for the bright futures ahead for them! 🌟

Fascia work in horses involves the manipulation of the connective tissue surrounding muscles, bones, and organs. This therapy aims to improve flexibility, release tension, and enhance overall well-being. By addressing restrictions in the fascia, practitioners seek to optimize the horse's biomechanics and promote better movement. Fascia work can be beneficial for horses recovering from injuries, experiencing stiffness, or participating in various athletic activities, contributing to their overall health and performance.

Tight fascia in horses may reveal itself through:
- Stiffness
- Limited movement
- Altered gait
- Hesitation in certain actions
- Behavioral shifts
- Increased sensitivity to touch.

Spotting these signs? A Rolfing®️ session holds the promise of unlocking a fresh range of motion by addressing tight, restrictive fascia. Techniques like myofascial release and stretching are tailored to enhance flexibility, diminish stiffness, and promote overall mobility by tackling fascial restrictions head-on.
