A great interview with my instructor and mentor from the Vluggen institute. It’s refreshing to hear the perspective of how the whole horse needs to be considered which means there needs to be a teamwork approach.

In this episode of Echoes & Embers, we sit down with internationally recognized osteopath Janek Vluggen to explore the deep science, philosophy, and practice...

Welcome to our 𝙋𝙚𝙡𝙫𝙞𝙘 𝙍𝙤𝙤𝙢 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨!
Over the next little while we are going to dive deeper into the commonly talked about Pelvic Room treatment.

If you have wondered…
• What is the pelvic room?
• What is the purpose of the treatment?
• How do I know if my horse needs one?
• What can I expect during and after a treatment?
Follow along and we will answer your questions!

If you’ve worked with an Equine Osteopath EDO®, you’ve likely heard them mention potential issues within the pelvic room of a horse, but what exactly is the pelvic room and why is it so important?

The pelvic room refers to the space within the pelvic cavity that houses several critical organs. These include the spleen, kidneys, adrenal glands, ureters, ileocecal valve, and bladder.
In mares, this area also contains reproductive structures such as the ovaries, uterus, and uterine horns. In geldings, it includes the inguinal canals, the upper portion of the spermatic cord, the cremaster muscle, and the prostate gland. For stallions, the testicles are also part of this space.

This region is rich in soft tissue and fascial structures—the connective tissues that support and link organs. These fascial connections (like the nephrosplenic ligament) allow the organs to maintain both structure and mobility, enabling them to shift and slide relative to one another and the surrounding musculoskeletal system. This mobility is essential. Every organ in the body should have the capacity for micro-movement to function optimally.

In the pelvic room, restricted movement can not only compromise the function of internal organs but also affect the mobility and balance of the skeletal structures, particularly the pelvis, lumbar spine and the upper cervical area initially. That’s why equine osteopaths pay close attention to this area—it’s central to both internal health and biomechanical harmony.

I’ll be in the area this weekend! DM to book or learn more

Until trainers start to understand things like strength training vs conditioning and progressive overload you can’t have success in performance and health!

A very well thought out article by a fellow osteopath. Having a joint labeled as “out” gives you a false idea and limited understanding of how your horses body actually functions and compensates. This is why usually during a treatment I will say that a part of the body was “tight” or we found restrictions. Ribs don’t go “out”, nor do hips or pelvises, rather they don’t have a full or normal range of motion.

Great visual for understanding how fascial restrictions and tension patterns could be influencing hoof angles!

Meet Molly! She’s a young mastiff x border collie rescue who came to see me at Aqua9 this weekend. Her owner reported that she suffers with moderate to extreme anxiety and has a hard time focusing and sitting still. She started her treatment quite tense and nervous and wouldn’t sit for more than 30 seconds at a time. I worked primarily in the craniosacral system which allowed me to help balance her nervous system and not be so triggered by stimulus around the office. After her treatment she put herself on the dog bed and allowed herself to fully decompress, coming back to focus and responding to breathing ques in seconds rather than the minutes and sometimes hours it would usually take at home.
