RESTORING FACIAL SYMMETRY THROUGH TARGETED EQUINE BODYWORK
Before & After Assessment
Facial asymmetry is more than a cosmetic issue—it's a valuable diagnostic indicator of underlying tension patterns in the poll, temporomandibular joint (TMJ), hyoid apparatus, and the interconnected fascial chains that influence posture and biomechanics.
In the before image, you can see:
🔬 A deviation of the facial midline
🔬 Uneven soft-tissue tone through the cheeks and zygomatic region
🔬 Asymmetry in the nostrils and lips, often linked to tension in the jaw and poll
🔬 Compensatory patterns that may influence cervical mobility and overall balance
Following a focused bodywork session, the after image shows measurable improvement:
✔️ Midline alignment is significantly more centered
✔️ Symmetry has returned to the eyes, cheeks, and nasal structures
✔️ TMJ and poll tension appear reduced, allowing more even muscle function
✔️ Softer facial expression indicating improved parasympathetic activation
✔️ More harmonious balance throughout the cranial and upper cervical regions
These changes are not accidental—they reflect how targeted equine bodywork can influence neuromuscular function, fascial glide, and joint mobility.
If you're noticing asymmetry, bracing, chewing changes, poll resistance, or uneven rein contact in your horse, a session may help identify and release the underlying restrictions before they develop into larger issues.
