| Equine Myofascial Release Therapy therapy@grandreviewfarm.com Myofascial release is a highly effective hands-on technique, applying pressure into myofascial restrictions, thus eliminating pain and restoring proper motion. Fascia is a densely woven covering, surrounding every bone, muscle, artery, vein and nerve, including all of the horse’s internal organs. Fascia exists from head to hoof without interruption. Every part of the horse’s body is connected to every other part by fascia. The fascia is relaxed and wavy in configuration when it is in a healthy state, and stability is provided by the constant pull of the fascial system. When inflammation or physical trauma is experienced, the fascia loses its pliability. It becomes tight and restricted and acts as a source of tension to the rest of the horse’s body. The fascia can cause excessive pressure, producing pain and restriction of motion. It is the purpose of myofascial release to make the fascia free-moving and pliable, in order to maximize the performance and potential of the equine athlete. How do I Know my Horse Needs it: *He just FEELS off *He can't bend *He isn't tracking correctly *Sore back *Not engaging correctly *Not jumping correctly *Any horse who has been injured *Any horse who is seeing a chiropractor (The bones can't stay if the fascia is pulling them back out) Therapist: Sparkle has 12 years of experience in human Myofascial Release, and 8 years of equine. She has owned horses for 17 years, and has completed the Michigan State Horse Training Course. She also completed the Equine Myofascial Release seminar in Grosse Ile, Michigan in 1996.

| I am looking for a therapy riding place that would accept my daughter. In February of 2006 she was with her dad and he left her alone with a strange dog and it attacked her. We spent 5 days in childrens hospital. Over an hour of stitching by the plastic surgeon. She was lucky to not lose her eye or sight in her eye. She has some rather large scars on the left side of her face. We are looking at further surgeries down the road. She was only 5 at the time. She loves animals and dogs, but she has a lot of issues since the attack. The doctor has suggested that I put her in some sort of animal therapy. She felt since Erika has a liking for horses that maybe I start there. Her father will not help pay for this since he is standing up for his friend who's dog did this. He feels that she was at fault because she played with the dog. But no one told her she could not play with the dog and the dog was not put away why the kids were there. So there was no sign that the dog was harmful. Can anyone point me in a direction and possibly a direction that is free or reduced rates? Thank you. Theresa | 10/11/2006 7:45:51 PM smoochie |
