Introducing our Therapist Spotlight for December - Sarra Avery, from Tasmanian Equine Solutions - Sarra Avery

𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒒𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔?
Equine Sports Massage Therapist, Equine Touch, Mcloughlin Scar Tissue Release

𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒅𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒖𝒆 𝒂 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒔 𝒂𝒏 𝒆𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒑𝒊𝒔𝒕?
I have always had a passion for horses from a young age, helping out at the local riding school I learnt how unique each horse can be, it continued through school going down paths such as coaching, working with racehorses and in feed/tack stores, I just knew there was more to discover, so when I was 17yo took myself off to Victoria to learn Equine Touch with the late Jock (John) Ruddock, I was amazed! I had always had different therapies to my own horses and wanted to discover the 'why'.

𝑻𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒖𝒔 𝒂 𝒃𝒊𝒕 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒐 𝒇𝒂𝒓..
After learning Equine Touch, I was hooked, I wanted to learn more, in 2014 I qualified as an Equine Sports Massage therapist through Equestricare, I went on to undertake my saddle fitting accreditation and studied Deep Tissue mobilisation.
I also am qualified in Mcloughlin Scar Release Therapy, and recently undertaking Dr Raquel Butlers Functional Postural Courses level 1 and 2.
I started running my own business after qualifying with Equestricare 11 years ago, it has taken me to some wonderful places including Flinders Island a few times. I use a range of my modalities in a treatment including red light therapy, and posture assessment. I run my business part time now as I also run my husbands building company.

𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒆𝒏𝒋𝒐𝒚 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒋𝒐𝒃?
Everything! I love the varied horses and people I meet, every horse presents a new challenge and something different for me, I love learning and finding solutions to issues, I love when there is a team involved, vets, farrier, other therapists and we can all work together to help the horse.

𝑨𝒏𝒚 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒄𝒂𝒔𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒇𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒚 𝒊𝒏𝒇𝒍𝒖𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒍?
I don't think I can highlight one particular one, I have had some unusual ones over the years with massive injuries and how they manage to function in there own unique way still, my own horses have influenced me a lot with all being in some form of rehab, you learn so much when you are right there doing the homework you recommend to clients.

𝑫𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒂𝒅𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒂 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓?
Just start learning, not one modality fits one horse so, learn, learn, learn, as much as you can, start questioning the why... why are they standing like that, why are they behaving like that, and what influences them to do that... Every question is a chance to learn.

🎄✨ Merry Christmas from Tas Equine Solutions! ✨🎄

I’d like to wish all my wonderful clients and friends a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Thank you so much for your ongoing support and loyalty this year. It’s truly been an honour to work with such an incredible variety of horses and to be trusted with their care — I never take that lightly, so thank you 💜

I hope you all have a safe, relaxing Christmas filled with good company, fresh air, and plenty of time spent with your four-legged best friends.

I’m really looking forward to catching up with familiar faces and meeting lots of new ones (both two- and four-legged!) in the New Year.

Until then — happy riding ⭐️

Applies to horses, hydration is so important, as the weather warms up please make sure adequate salt/electrolytes are added to your rations 😊

Everyone is starting to realize how important fascia is when it comes to training the body, but most people still underestimate how deeply it influences movement.

Hydrated fascia behaves very differently, down to the cellular level. Not only does it participate in bioelectric signaling, it also plays a major role in how much range of motion your body can access during exercise. When this tissue is loaded correctly, it becomes elastic and responsive. Your muscles coordinate better, your posture improves, and energy becomes more stable because your body isn’t fighting itself to move.

When this tissue loses its elasticity and structural organization, your body begins moving in ways that increase tension, stiffness, and joint stress in the wrong areas. This is when people start experiencing the movement degradation that eventually leads to pain. Hydration in the body isn’t just about drinking more water. It depends on restoring the mechanical conditions that allow fluid to move through your tissue with minimal friction.

The visual on the left is exactly what we help you overcome through our training. This is what you see in the transformations we help people achieve, where their bodies begin to look more viscoelastic and full.

If you want to improve your movement, you not only need to strengthen the muscles that are weak, you also need to build the mechanics that distribute tension efficiently throughout your fascial system. The quality of your movement determines the quality of your tissue.
