EMMETT FOR horses (and their humans)
Horses and dogs are unable to communicate their discomfort verbally, so it is only by exhibiting their compromised physical (and sometimes emotional) state that it will become apparent that there is a problem. Both horses and dogs will be constrained in their movement and therefore their performance, if their muscles are tight and restricted or if they are in discomfort. Animals tend to compensate to relieve pressure on the affected area and if left untreated can lead to problems developing in other areas of the body.
Animal conditions that be successfully treated using EMMETT therapy include:
Injuries from sport or accidents:
As much as EMMETT can benefit a horse, if the rider is experiencing areas of tension or restriction it means that horse and rider are not in harmony, so the problems will continue. There is a clear relationship between supple horses who move freely and in balance, and their riders who are flexible, and have good core strength. Conversely riders with physical issues of their own may restrict the horse’s movement or put muscles under strain. As a result, when we visit a horse we may often end up treating the rider too!
How good would it be if we taught you how to assess your horse yourself to identify any restrictions and even more important how to easily release that restriction – even on the day of an important competition.
