Asymmetry through the shoulders incorporates so many aspects…
• Scapulohumeral joint dysfunction
• Thoracic sling dysfunction - pectoral muscles, Serratus ventralis, trapezius…
• Hoof conformation
• Cervical vertebrae pathology
• Pelvic asymmetry
• Distal limb pathology
• Rider asymmetry…
When there are shoulders in misalignment, it often means there is a spiral of dysfunction throughout the body also.
These two photos are taken one treatment apart, and involved the use of very targeted exercises and deep release techniques (as well as addressing numerous other patterns prior to this!).
This can be an undervalued perspective, so at your next opportunity, try taking a photo of your horse from this angle and see how symmetrical they are. 🤍
