Wellspring Equine Conditioning

Four sessions of bodywork and BTMM. This boy has changed so much in three months!

- His neck has relaxed
- His face has filled in
- The contraction in his lumbosacral junction has released and his hindquarters are filling in
- His spine angle is coming more towards neutral
- His overall demeanor is more relaxed
- His movements are more flowing and forward

Rome wasn’t built in a day. Nor will his 20+ yr old body be perfected immediately. But, the progress is very encouraging!

Have you looked at your horse’s pecs lately? There was some rotation and tension going on here.

Why does this matter?

The easy answer is that asymmetry can cause compensatory dysfunction in the body.

The illustration from shows the beautiful intricacies of the thoracic sling. The green indicates the brachial plexus- a major network of nerves. When there is rotation, these nerves can become impinged causing a host of issues for the horse.

Using Celeste Lazaris’s Balance Through Movement Method’s Pillar 1 and Nerve Release techniques, I was able to give this horse more space and relief.

I love this work!
