Mouse here is one of my longest running clients since moving up here.
I wanted to highlight her today because she exemplifies what I like sessions to be like for the horse, the owner, and just generally what PEMF should be about.
Results - Maybe not all of them or even the ones you thought.
Mouse is a big ole girl and she has some issues including some lameness, stringhalt, and just general old age stuff.
Has PEMF fixed any of that? Nope.
But it’s for sure helped! Evident during the times we’ve skipped sessions for one reason or another. Or, more than that, when not just her owners, but everyone at the barn comments on how great she looks when she is moving around in the field or under saddle.
Exactly where - doesn’t always matter that much.
She also shows off so well the concept that if simply applied well, the PEMF will do the heavy lifting!
Do I know exactly where mouse’s lameness is coming from? Nope.
Could I? Probably.
I could study every inch of her. Take a bunch of pics. Compare things. Watch her go. Poke. Prod. Measure. Insist her owners get radiographs of every inch, or a full lameness monitor work up.
But would all that be worth it for her situation? Would it make any difference to how I conduct her PEMF session?
Not really, because the joy of well applied PEMF is the body takes it where it needs it!
So as long the practitioner makes sure to do a comprehensive full body session, is skilled enough to read the horse and know when more or less intensity is needed, and know enough about the anatomy to know where should and shouldn’t pulse, we don’t need to know exactly where the problem is because the horse’s body does, and it will send or “take up” the PEMF there.
Now maybe that sounds like hogwash to you, but all I can say is if you use it enough on yourself, you will know this to be how it works.
It’s also not as simple as it sounds to be skilled at reading a horse, but that’s another post!
So will you see me doing crazy attention to detail hyper specific stuff during my sessions with Mouse? Nope. My focus is an effective full body session paying attention to the signs she’s giving me as I move the loops around her body.
Enjoyment - always the goal.
The final thing Mouse shows off so SO well is that the horse (or whoever is getting pulsed) SHOULD ENJOY IT!
Like seriously, this is the main goal. If the horse enjoys it you’re doing something right and good.
Do they all enjoy it from the first time you put a loop on them, or for every second of every session? Nope.
But if a horse has had multiple sessions and they don’t look like Mouse does here for the majority of the session, or they’re not getting more and more chill as the session go on, it’s time to reevaluate.
Good girl Mouse! I’m so glad I get to be a part of your healthcare team and provide your biweekly zone out sesh!!
