Why Horse Rolfing?

Why Horse Rolfing?®

 

Many recurring performance problems in horses (as well as riders) can be difficult to understand and even harder to treat through conventional methods of training or health care. What may at first appear to be a problem of stride length or impulsion can often be traced to chronic tensions in the soft, connective tissue that holds bones and muscles together. Rolfing ia a therapeutic method that can release these habitual tensions and free both horse and rider for higher performance

 

Rolfing improves posture and impaired mobility of the joints; reduces stress, and trauma; and brings relief to specific problem areas (such as chronic neck/back pain, and repetitive stress injuries). In horses, Rolfing significantly improves movement and performance, speeds up injury recovery and offers pain relief.

 

The equine Rolfer observes the horses movement to determine the problem areas, checks which way the fascia goes and follows it along. The horse naturally moves and unwinds with the bodywork
