✨ TENS ✨

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a widely used therapeutic modality in equine rehabilitation, primarily utilised for pain management and neuromuscular stimulation. It works by delivering low-voltage electrical impulses through surface electrodes placed on the skin, targeting specific nerves or muscle groups.

TENS is thought to work through two key mechanisms: the pain gate control theory and the stimulation of endogenous opioid release. In addition to pain relief, TENS can also encourage gentle, controlled muscle activation, making it particularly beneficial in the rehabilitation of weakened or atrophied musculature.

As every animal’s needs are individual, it is important to consult with your practitioner to determine whether TENS is the most appropriate treatment option for your animal.

✨ The gorgeous Brewer ✨

Brewer enjoying his session this morning and what a snoozy boy 🤍

I see this lovely boy regularly to help support his comfort and mobility, particularly with intermittent lameness concerns. It’s always wonderful to see him so relaxed during his treatment.

Regular physiotherapy can support performance, comfort, and overall wellbeing for animals in training and competition.

✨ Forelimb Protraction Stretch ✨

This image highlights the key muscles targeted during a forelimb protraction stretch. Incorporating a simple stretch like this into your routine after exercise can have a positive effect on these muscle groups when performed correctly.

As the stretch progresses deeper into adduction, there is an increased focus on the latissimus dorsi muscle.

Key note: This does not represent all of the muscles within the forelimb—there are many others that also contribute to movement and stability.

✨ Did you know? ✨

In both equine and canine anatomy, the thoracic limb is not connected to the axial skeleton by a bony articulation. Unlike humans who have a clavicle (collar bone) forming a skeletal attachment, horses and dogs lack this structure.

Instead, the forelimb is suspended and supported by a complex arrangement of muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues collectively known as the thoracic sling. This system plays a crucial role in stabilisation, shock absorption, and the transmission of forces between the limb and the trunk during movement.

Optimal function of the thoracic sling is therefore essential for efficient locomotion, posture, and overall musculoskeletal health.

✨ Hindlimb Protraction Stretch ✨

Hindlimb protraction stretches are highly beneficial for most horses, helping to improve flexibility, mobility, and overall muscle function.

For safety and effectiveness, stretches should only be performed after exercise or when the muscles are warm, and always on a flat, non-slip surface. Avoid stretching cold muscles, as this increases the risk of strain or injury.

This exercise targets key muscle groups responsible for hindlimb extension. By encouraging protraction, these muscles are gently elongated, allowing for a deeper and more effective stretch.

Regular incorporation of this stretch can support performance, aid recovery, and promote long-term musculoskeletal health.
