What is The Equine Natural Movement Series?
  The Equine Natural Movement Series or Equine Structural Integration brings your horse's body into balance and alignment by manipulation of the connective tissue or fascia. Sessions unwrap and release any compressions (scar tissue) or adhesions that have occurred. This will help bring your horse into a more comfortable, confident, athletic willingness to learn and perform.  Each session will build upon the last. These sessions help horses to organize themselves so strides are longer, backs lengthen, gaits are smoother, and have full range of motion.  
   

Where does tension or scar tissue come from?
 Tension or scar tissue occurs when the tissue in the body repairs itself from injury or physical stress. The tissue becomes thick or fibrous, forming scar tissue and adhesions.  Muscles and tissue can no longer glide effortlessly over one another so compensation patterns and imbalances develop.  This bodywork gives your horse a clean slate. Equine Structural Integration releases all the deep tension and movement patterns your horse has accumulated. Sometimes your horse wants to bend or collect but his body simply cannot from a old injury or compensation pattern.


Is Equine Structural Integration the same as equine massage or equine chiropractic?
Equine chiropractors focus mainly on restoring normal joint function through manual manipulation of the joints, particularly the spine. Chronic tension or injuries can cause connective tissue to pull the bones out of alignment. Equine Structural Integration can enhance the effects of chiropractic by addressing the connective tissue stress.
 Equine massage focuses on relaxing and softening muscle tension and increasing circulation. Equine massage does not address the fascial planes which are usually the cause of the restriction or tension. If they are not addressed then tension usually comes right back. Equine massage also is not able to get deep enough in the horses body to address core tension patterns.  Equine Structural Integration works with all the fascial planes in the entire body to balance the horse's structure, bilaterally and front to back. Equine Structural Integration has 5 very specific sessions designed to sequentially unwrap any restrictions.
If you have tried other modalities but did not achieve the results you were looking for, Equine Structural Integration may be what your horse needs. This also may be a wonderful addition to the therapies you are already using on your horse.
