Always improving and adding to my Emmett toolbox.

Lymphatics is so important on how are bodies work. So why is it important?

The lymphatic system is part of the immune system. It keeps body fluid levels in balance and defends the body against infections.

Get in contact with me if you would like to know more about a lymphatic Emmett treatment.

🌟 Assess the Wither 🌟

When we approach strength in the horses body, the neck, hindquarters and the back are the main areas that are discussed.

But the withers can be a great indicator of not only IF your horse is building muscle, but HOW.

And that is super important as muscle should be developing to enhance your horses body, not to support its compensations. And often when the withers are not showing signs of functioning at optimum biomechanically, it can be a sign that your horse may not be building strength correctly.

The characteristic atrophy and compression of the thoracic trapezius, dip in front of the wither and over-recruitment of the nuchal ligament as a supporting lever, over-development of the underside of the neck and reduced ability to flex the neck either side or maintain a consistent contact are an accumulation of signs potentially indicating wither dysfunction.

A full blog post to come on this soon, as it’s an area of practice I am fascinated with.

But, just momentarily today, have a glance at this part of your horses body and make a note of what you see. A smooth continuous outline, or dips and pockets?

Of course - conformation does play a factor, but it is always best to discuss this with your physio.
