I have been treating horses for over 13 years; I know what works to achieve good results. The principle is simple - release the muscle problem and the body realigns itself, including the bone structure that was under pressure from the affected muscle (or muscles).
Through years of experience and study I now use a number of techniques to achieve positive results, so in many respects the treatment I use is my own particular style. Of course I use all my Shiatsu skills, working on meridians and acupressure points to correct an energy imbalance in the body, but I also use other methods to release tension.
We know the body makes use of electricity in its life functions and in a healthy body electric energy flows easily along constant pathways. In an area of the body that is injured or ill the flow of energy will be interrupted, the pattern will change and disease sets in. At this point the horse can get sluggish, irritable or will go lame for what appears to be no apparent reason. Shiatsu and bodywork can help to correct this pattern and put a horse back into a state of well-being.
It is important to emphasise that Shiatsu is to be viewed as complementary therapy to veterinary care and should in no way be seen as a substitute for medical practices. Shiatsu can be an effective healing technique for all types of horses.
The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons have stated that they regard Shiatsu as a form of approved physical therapy that can be given to animals with a vet’s permission.
