All horses can benefit
Equine Myofunctional Therapy is suitable for the majority of horses, regardless of their breed, age or discipline. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Pleasure and pony club mounts
- Competition horses (Eventing, Dressage, Show jumping, Western etc.)
- Harness horses
- Race horses
- Stock horses
- Breeding stock
- Retired companions
How It Works
The aim of Equine Myofunctional Therapy is to improve, repair or maintain range of motion, elasticity, circulation, health and the overall physical performance of the horse.
This is achieved through releasing adhesions between the skin, fascia and muscle tissues, as well as improving the circulation of blood and lymph.
Treatment promotes the flow of oxygen and nutrients throughout the tissues and enables the flushing of harmful deposits from around the joints and deep acid deposits from within the muscles (including lactic acid build-up from exercise).
Problems your horse may encounter
Equine Myofunctional Therapy may assist a variety of problems; these include, but are not limited to:
- Muscle spasms
- Adhesions (knots)
- Sprains and strains
- Stiffness
- Poor flexibility
- Uneven gait
- Inability to track-up
- Lack of cadence
- Transition problems
- Difficulty collecting or extending
