Lonesome Rose Therapy

What's in a name?

I struggled to come up with a name that had meaning to me.

Until after a nice glass or glasses of peach wine🍷and a 5.5 hour boards exam, I landed on Lonesome Rose.

It represents two of the most important beings in my life.

Lonesome was not my first horse but definitely my first heart horse ❤️. He played a big part in making me the rider I have become. I lost him in 2006 after multiple strangulation lipomas and I struggled to connect with a horse for a little after. Another does/will come along but will never replace the first heart horse.

And Rose for my grandma, Kate, but everyone close to her called her Rose. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of her in some way or wish I could just talk to her. She was always the one I could tell literally anything. The rose 🌹 in our logo is pink for her favorite color and her love for flowers.

We also offer PEMF for horse and rider.

Message to schedule to help you and your horse feel their best.

Did you know NASA researched the effects of PEMF?

They discovered that it is effective to:
🌹Stimulate cell growth and repair
🌸Tissue repair
🌹Wound healing

But intensity and frequency of the treatment matter!

Why is internal rotation of the hip so important for riders?

🌸It helps stabilize the leg for more control and clearer cues.
🌹Improves our balance by stabilizing the pelvis = more effective seat.
🌸Lacking internal rotator strength can cause the rider to grip with their knee or clamp with their calves.

Not only do we need to stretch the rotators for mobility in the saddle but we must strengthen them as well to provide stability.

A favorite stretch of mine is the 90-90 hip rotations.

Let's talk body awareness:

Many of us are guilty of it. We cue the horse, or think we do, and the horse does something entirely different.

We change bits, saddles, pads, gear and nothing works.

What if it isn't the horse's fault?

It may be the rider.

We must be able to isolate hip movement when standing on the ground before we can do it on horseback. If we are unable to control the pelvic movement and weight shift, the horse is getting 2-3 different cues and then it is acting according to what they are feeling from you.

Physical therapy can help! We can help isolate that movement, train body awareness, increase strength and control.

Yes, we can travel to you or can video chat!
Located in Ohio but feel free to reach out with any questions!
