Mane and Tail

There are definitely benefits of being an early bird- you get reminded of the simple beauty and joy in life even if things aren't going as smoothly as you'd like.

Having a dog with floppy ears helps too 🐕💛💛

So proud of my little pork chop pony today! Our riding buddy wasn't well so I decided to revisit going out solo (last time we tried about 7 weeks ago he really didn't have the confidence so we came home).

We had a couple of wanting to go home moments on the way out but gently pushed through it and kept the loop short and sweet and he settled quite nicely.

Lovely little confidence and trust building steps. 🤗

*Now Taking on New Clients*

Having recently completed my Equine Massage Therapy training with IAAT to add to my skillset I am now expanding my equine client base.

I use mixed modalities (Therapeutic Massage, Sports Massage, Emmett Technique, Reiki) to provide individually guided sessions for your equine companion to help them relieve any tension and feel their best.

We will cover full history (if known), static assessment, gait analysis, palpation assessment and full treatment with aftercare advice.

For more info check out my website www.maneandtail.org.uk, socials .org.uk,
Or give me a call or whatsapp for a chat 07968 952662.

Looking forward to speaking to you soon! 😊

*Treatment Highlights*

Lovely Billy is in his 20's now and earlier this year was diagnosed with arthritis in both stifles, which are now being medicated..

However he still sometimes gets stiff behind and has a tendency to overload the forehand, resulting in tightness and restriction in his neck, chest and shoulders.

Massage is not a cure-all, but it can really help support with ongoing issues like arthritis, compensatory patterns and fatigued muscles.

Some of the benefits of regular bodywork include:

🐴 Relieving tight, fatigued muscles and aiding recovery from exercise.

🐴 Supporting healthy blood and lymphatic circulation

🐴 Increased range of motion

🐴 Supporting with rehabilation and reducing injury risk.

🐴 Identifying changes before they become problematic

🐴 Tracking muscle development over time

🐴 Stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system for deeper rest and relaxation

🐴 Supporting mental and emotional well being.

I use mixed modalities (Therapeutic Massage, Sports Massage, Emmett Technique, Reiki) to tailor sessions to the needs of the individual and provide ongoing support, whatever their activity level.

Managed a more consistent week for Blue's morning exercise this week as the temperatures were a little more forgiving and I was able to start work slightly later than previous weeks.

Feels much more satisfying being able to do all the things and not have to miss out, especially as we're still fairly early on in our fitness journey, consistency is key!
