The headless instructor 🤪

Have you ever had a sharp shooting pain in the front of your shoulder?
You reach out to grab a drink and it stains you in your tracks each time.
Or is that just me and my previously torn bicep tendon? 😅
Now imagine you’re a horse and you’re walking on that same sensation.
The front of the shoulder isn’t prioritized in very many therapeutic approaches.
The axillary nerve innervates the actual joint at the point of the shoulder. It can feel “locked” or “caught” if the nerve is in protection mode.
This technique can improve the way the horse feels their shoulder, which can improve their stride and lessen compensation in other areas.

In this 2- day in-person course you’ll get hands-on education to learn how to:
🤍Recognize peripheral nerve dysfunction
🤍Assess key equine nerves affecting movement
🤍Apply manual techniques that improve peripheral nerve function
🤍Immediate and lifetime access to all 10 hours of online videos for reference
🤍Over 200 page manual for reference

April 24th and 25th in Louisburg NC

Each month in my newsletter I highlight a great case study.
I prefer to highlight other businesses in this.
If you want to have a completed and resolved case featured in my newsletter let me know!
Case studies can be for any class I teach: Tape, cups, blades, MFR, nervous system.

Schaeffer Bodyworks, LLC hosted a pro day yesterday to support her community of bodywork students and it was great.
Thanks for leading us in camaraderie is this sometimes isolating and ruthless industry.

If you’re looking for a massage class to certify you - baseline entry to the profession OR you just didn’t feel like your first certification was thorough enough, take April’s class. The long term support she offers her students will NOT be matched by any other program.

I also got a fun road trip out of it with Katlyn Hays
We tried new coffee, got more coffee, and steak - and it made the road trip way more enjoyable 🥳

(This little pow-wow also really made me miss my OG Okie Pow-Wow girls. When is the next one?

Do you ever keep working on the same thing over and over and over again without long term results? 😩

But the problem keeps coming back.
Peripheral nerve dysfunction can influence how muscles fire, how joints stabilize, and how a horse moves through its body.

But many equine professionals were never trained to assess peripheral nerves.

When I worked on people in outpatient rehab we checked the nerves in every single case.
It should be part of every single assessment on a horse too.

In this 2- day in-person course you’ll get hands-on education to learn how to:
🤍Recognize peripheral nerve dysfunction
🤍Assess key equine nerves affecting movement
🤍Apply manual techniques that improve peripheral nerve function
🤍Immediate and lifetime access to all 10 hours of online videos for reference
🤍Over 200 page manual for reference

Hiii 👋🏻 I’ve made this post before but I need to do it again.

Please only contact me about things Sozo Equine related via email.

info@sozoequinemo.com

Although I try my best to keep an eye on messages, my DM’s are very, very full of my free PDFs going out to people, and then many of those people responding “thank you” to that link (so kind 🥰).

One day I sent out over 500 free PDFs. That’s not the average day, I’m just saying my DMs are not a safe place to send anything you don’t want lost in the mix.

Email info@sozoequinemo.com

Also do not reach out to my personal email. It currently has 27k unopened messages. You will not have success double sending the same email to that one I promise. 😆

If I do not respond in a couple days, please reach out to pam@sozoequinemo.com
She is my assistant and the thread that holds me together.
She probably has a zero inbox, idk 🤪

Many times certification submissions go to the spam folder because the file attachments are so large. I try to keep an eye on that folder too but please just send Pam a message if you want a back-up confirmation that your message was received.

While we’re here, if you want the:

Free nervous system PDF comment “relax”
Free back taping PDF comment “free”
Free cupping PDF comment “suction”

Thank you SO MUCH for being here!

I’m just a girl that loves pretty horses and accidentally ended up running a business putting stickers on them. 😎

Love you, bye!

What even is a nerve impingement?

You released the fascia.
You worked the muscle.
You mobilized the joint.

But the problem keeps coming back.

Peripheral nerve dysfunction can influence how muscles fire, how joints stabilize, and how a horse moves through its body.
Yet most equine professionals were never trained to assess peripheral nerves.
That means an entire system affecting performance, comfort, and movement is being overlooked.

In this 2- day in-person course you’ll get hands-on education to learn how to:
🌱Recognize peripheral nerve dysfunction
🌱Assess key equine nerves affecting movement
🌱Apply manual techniques that improve peripheral nerve function
🌱Immediate and lifetime access to all 10 hours of online videos for reference
🌱Over 200 page manual for reference

Stop chasing symptoms.

Horses that have tight hamstrings might be caused by:

Normal work - it just happens
Overuse
Working in deep footing
Poorly balanced feet
Sore back
Bad fitting saddle
Poor body mechanics
Normal work

Most horses will benefit from this application. It’s pretty foolproof for a beginner to try too!

I like the 4 inch here, but you can use 2 pieces of 2-inch as well

I teach you 45 other taping applications in my Foundational Taping Masterclass.

Learn how to correctly apply evidence-based and bio-mechanically informed applications for the horse in your life.

I think we all agree in-person learning is the gold standard. 🌟
Tell me why you think that? What “ah-hah” moments happened for you during in-person learning in any class?

Cupping creates a unique sensation to the tissue - decompression.
You cannot achieve decompression with your hands.

The following is directly pasted from the Roctaoe socials, as it articulates so well the goal of the Rockpods.

RockPods get a lot of criticism for “not sucking hard enough.” That is by design.

Traditional cupping is built around strong negative pressure and visible tissue deformation. That can be useful in some contexts, but more suction is not automatically more therapeutic. From a modern pain and movement neuroscience lens, what many people in persistent pain actually need is not more mechanical force but more accurate, safe sensory information from the areas their nervous system has started to treat as a blur or a threat.

RockPods were created as movement driven sensory tools, not max‑vacuum decompression devices. Their job is to provide a novel yet mild and predictable stimulus on the skin and superficial fascia while the person moves. That stimulus lights up a “smudged” body map, drawing a clear sensory outline around a region that had become vague, guarded, or ignored. In pain reprocessing terms, the cup becomes an extension of the therapist’s hand, helping the brain experience, “This area is here, it is being loaded, and nothing dangerous is happening.”

When we pair that gentle tactile highlight with graded, meaningful movement and updated pain education, we are practicing threat reduction and map refinement, not trying to “pull tissue apart.” The change is happening in the nervous system’s interpretation of that body part, which is ultimately where pain and movement decisions are made.

So when someone says our cups “don’t suck,” we agree. They are not meant to win a vacuum contest. They are meant to help clinicians and movers safely reconnect with neglected regions, decrease threat, and build confident movement again. The tool is important, but the real intervention is how we use it to change perception, attention, and behavior.
