The deep pectoral muscle helps draw the leg and shoulder backwards which can become tense in horses who have lost suppleness in theire backs or necks.. This problem often makes the horse RESENT BEING GIRTHED UP.
Frequency Specific Microcurrent enhances my ability to target deep muscles.

Another exciting year ahead. I 💓 my work as a Neuromuscular Therapist
The saddle sits on intricate and hence vulnerable structures of the highly specialised bones, vertebrae, which, if restricted, adversely affect all movement. Note the tiny rib joints and how easily these can become excessively, painfully compressed if a) the tree is twisted b) the flocking is unbalanced c) the gullet clearance is too narrow d) the numnah or saddle cloth lacks protection e) the rider is unbalanced f) there is a combination of all of these factors. The results could be bruised ribs, misaligned ribs, muscle spasm, muscle overuse, abnormal gait, all culminating in compromised breathing. Poor performance is inevitable, especially if the girth is either too loose or too tight.
Interesting conversation today.
I treated a horse who would not pick up the legs for the farrier..because of my knowledge of the muscle skeletal system, and neuromuscular. I was able to successfully treat the horse so it stood and picked up all 4 feet for the farrier.
A horse shouldn't struggle with picking up a leg..unless there is a clinical reason.
So the client told me they thought it was a behaviour problem and didn't realise it could be because they had restricted movement.

About Debbie and Neuromuscular
It has taken Debbie a couple of years to set up the Kildinan Equine Education Facility and her qualifications have enabled her to work in the areas of:
~ Equine Neuromuscular Therapy
~ Human Neuromuscular Therapy
~ Train the trainer
~ Orthopaedic Sports Massage
After obtaining different approaches to the intermittent lameness of her horses and ponies Debbie came across Neuromuscular Therapy, which is scientifically proven. Debbie also notices that if she has treated a horse and is called back with the same complaint; by looking into the riders alignment she can discover that they are preventing their horse from moving correctly. Debbie having treated animals and humans for the past 15 years knows that Neuromuscular Therapy Techniques have proven to aid correction to dysfunctional muscle tissue which may be the cause of a lot of imobilizaton problems in our horses such as:
~ Loss of impulsion
~ Restricted range of motion
~ Back sore /hollow
~ Bracing against/avoiding the bit
~ Improper tracking forward/backward/Laterly
~ Refusing/Resisting Leads
~ Hind limb interference
~ Girthing problems
~ Unwilling or unable to walk up/down hills
Normal movement will only take place when all muscles are working together. Often muscle tissues which are weakened by injury, triggerpoint activity or neurology or any other means, will call upon other muscles to substitute for the action they should be performing, while these other muscles will compensate for the movement; they will also most certainly create dysfunctional movement which in turn causes stress on those particular muscles. When this is the case new joint stress will be encountered. Pain may well be a function of such dysfunctional patterns.
Without a healthy muscle the horse’s ability to follow through a smooth range of motion is restricted, and the strength is lessened. This restricted area is compensated by other muscles, and while the restricted muscle begins to lose its tone the muscles compensating begin to feel the strain, the strain is felt mostly in the origin tendon of the muscle and the Golgi tendon sensory receptors indicate how hard the muscle is working, so when the sensory receptors detect an overload they will stop the muscles activity to prevent damage.
Neuromuscular Therapy works with the knowledge that the motor system in muscles will have lost feedback information for refinement of movement, leading to abnormal mechanical stresses of muscles/joints. Such effects of proprioceptive deficit may not be evident for many months after trauma. (Leon Chaitoe, Judith Walker Delany, Clinical application of Neuromscular Techniques, Volume2.) which may be why we don't see the dysfunction in our horses until they are not performing right, such as in the list above.
This Therapy is non evasive and does not necessarily mean your horse has to be on box rest as proprioception can be reinstated immediately. Techniques included would be Positional release, Strain Counter Strain, ischemia and any others that would suit the re-alignment of deep muscle fibres through hands on Therapy. The Techniques work on the Nerve signals between the muscle fibres and the brain, these signals are transmitted through the central nervous system.
