Equine Muscle Release Therapy - EMRT

EMRT™ is a gentle, non-invasive and holistic modality which allows the horses body to re-balance and change at its own pace, allowing the horse to achieve optimum health, balance and symmetry. An EMRT™ session involves sequential, precise, rolling moves made with the practitioner’s hands, fingers and thumbs at key points on the horse’s body. These moves work over fascia, a connective tissue, which is found throughout the horse’s body. In prime condition, fascia is loose, moist, elastic and allows free movement between all body parts and the free flow of all bodily fluids. Injury or stress causes the fascia to harden, reducing elasticity and the flow of bodily fluids. Problems within the facia may present as restricted movement, lack of symmetry and sometimes as bad behaviour in the horse. EMRT™ works by activating small nerves cells called proprioceptor cells in the fascia. These proprioceptor cells carry messages via the nervous system to the brain to reprogram the area of trauma. By releasing tension, correcting restrictions and misalignments of fascia, and by allowing the body to change at it own pace, EMRT™ helps bring the whole body back to a state of balance and symmetry. EMRT™ can help with: - unresolved/intermittent lameness - unexplained deterioration in performance - stiffness on one rein - disunited paces - sore or cold back - uneven shoe wear - dragging of hind feet - uneven muscle development or muscle wastage - lymphatic imbalances This dynamic modality addresses the cause of the imbalance and is as gentle on the Practitioner as it is on the horse, thus enabling you to be effective without stress or stain on your own body. EMRT™ has been described as the “missing link” and works alongside the Veterinary profession and other modalities. It does not replace veterinary treatment or advice.
