What is ‘Equine Touch’?
Definition:
“The Equine Touch is gentle, body-based
modality, non-invasively addressing the
connective tissue such as fascia, muscles,
tendons and ligaments.”
The tissue is mobilized and "stimulated" by
using a specific move, or series of moves, over
precise points of the horse's body. These could
be acupuncture points, trigger points or sites
of common injuries.

What is ‘McTimoney-Corley’?
Definition:
“McTimoney-Corley therapy is a gentle spinal manipulation
technique to bring the horse's body back into alignment and
relieve any associated pain or discomfort. Used very successfully
for many years to treat human conditions such as back, neck
and joint pain, stiffness in limbs and restricted movement, the
McTimoney-Corley technique has now been adapted very
successfully to treat animals.”
Typically used in conjunction with massage, stretching and
exercise, McTimoney-Corley therapy is beneficial to horses of all
ages and performance levels. It is also beneficial to use the
treatment as regular "maintenance" to keep your horse in peak
physical condition. The treatment can improve joint and muscle
function and allow the nervous system to function correctly.
