The thing about fascia? It's every where!
Have you ever had trouble cutting through that tough, sinewy tissue in the chicken you were prepping for the oven? That resilient, strong substance you were wrestling with was the chicken's fascia. Fascia is three dimensional and surrounds every organ, every muscle, nerve fiber, bone and blood vessel in the body. It's impressively strong and gives shape and substance to the entire body -- so when it gets restricted, major issues can result. Often lameness, pain and dysfunction result from fascia restrictions.
The good news!
Through MYOFASCIAL RELEASE techniques, as well as other therapies offered by Equine Therapeutic Bodyworks, the fascia can be rehydrated and return to healthy, supportive tissue. Many clients use myofascial treatments in conjunction with their veterinarian's chiropractic adjustments to get lasting, measurable,
noticeably improved results.
Please note: out treatments are not a substitute for your trusted veterinarian.
Light Therapy
Red light therapy is currently the most understood and employed of the light therapies for horses, although blue and green light therapies are making their way into wound therapy and other uses. Photonic Torches treat tendon, ligament, muscle and skin conditions, as well as poll tension and joint pain. Equine Therapeutic Bodyworks arrives at your barn with several light therapy options, prepared to spend the time it takes to achieve noticeable results.
Myofascial release uses prolonged stretches to restore elasticity to restricted fascia. It's noninvasive and it's effectiveness has been well documented in the medical literature.
