The Lazaris Nerve Release Technique is a gentle, hands-on bodywork method designed to help release compression and tension around the nerves in the horse’s body.

When nerves are compressed, they can cause pain, restricted movement, poor posture, or even behavioral issues. This technique focuses on restoring proper nerve function by releasing the fascia and muscle tension around key nerve pathways.

It’s a gentle approach focused on helping the horse feel safe and comfortable enough to release deeply held tension on their own.

I aim to:
Encourage better posture and movement
Help reduce pain and nerve irritation
Support the nervous system and promote lasting change
Improve body awareness and relaxation

It is a subtle technique utilizing massage, facial work and postural releases to create big shifts in how the horse feels and moves.

Before and after just one nerve release session ✨

These sessions aren’t just about helping the horse relax, they’re about unlocking better posture and allowing the body to move in a more comfortable, sustainable way.

In this transformation, you can see the difference: the area behind the withers is starting to fill out, and there’s less of that dropped, arched-back posture. He’s beginning to lift through his back and push up from the ground—using his body in a way that feels good and supports long-term soundness.

A client recently told me that the work I do has a deeper impact on her horse, beyond just changes in her body. It's not just about physical healing, but also emotional balance. My aim is to nurture both body and mind in every session, so we can raise happier, healthier, more comfortable horses.

Understanding the Brachial Plexus in Horses

The brachial plexus is a critical bundle of nerves located beneath the scapula. It’s formed from the ventral branches of spinal nerves C6–T2, and it provides motor and sensory innervation to the shoulder and forelimb.

Signs of dysfunction may include:

Muscle atrophy of the shoulder and thoracic muscles (e.g., Sweeney shoulder)
Inability to bear weight on the affected limb
Dropped elbow posture
Reduced ability to bring the leg forward (protraction)
Becoming over at the knee (inability to lock the knee)
Unexplained or intermittent forelimb lameness
Hypertonicity or stiffness in the neck
Possible signs of pain or numbness (though subtle and harder to observe in horses)
Symptoms may resemble thoracic outlet syndrome in humans, due to similar patterns of nerve compression

What causes it?
Compression of the brachial plexus can occur when muscle atrophy reduces the soft tissue “cushion” between the scapula and the nerve bundle. It can also be caused by trauma, such as a kick from another horse, pulling back, or awkward falls.

What helps?
Correct movement training, focused on relaxation and proper activation of the thoracic sling, can help prevent or reduce impingement. In some cases, an experienced bodyworker may be able to release tension in this area through targeted manual therapy and massage techniques. It is a specific focus in the Lazaris Nerve Release Technique.

Last week I had a client come to me with sudden weakness in his hind legs. A proprioception test pointed to a possible spinal issue, so we worked with his vet to get him on anti-inflammatories right away. From there, we started PEMF therapy to support his healing.

Thankfully, his symptoms were caught early and were relatively mild and his body responded beautifully.

After just two PEMF sessions over four days, he was back to himself! He was running, jumping, and his reflexes were normal. Moments like this are a powerful reminder of how resilient animals can be when we give their bodies the support they need to heal ❤️

A nice

This is the difference from one nerve release session! This horse notoriously stands with tension in his neck and shoulders (as well as other areas throughout the body), to the point that sometimes when asked to stand and soften his neck, he physically cannot stand still. He uses his neck as a brace. In this session he was able to find some more integrity in his posture so that he could soften that brace, stand with his feet in a better position to balance and was able to relax and lower his neck.

When the nerve release session hits just right… Memorial Day weekend mood: yawn, relax, repeat.

Wishing everyone a nice and relaxing Memorial Day weekend!

A little progress update on my mare:
My mare used to hate lunging or trotting in hand—she would pin her ears, threaten to rear, and often actually follow through. It was clearly a response rooted in pain, trauma, or some combination of both. I decided to take a step back and stop asking those things of her for a while, focusing instead on helping her feel better both mentally and physically.

Last week, after a nerve release session where she had some deep moments of processing, I thought it might be a good time to try a little trotting in hand-just to help her integrate the changes she experienced during the session. I went in with no expectations, ready to stop immediately if she seemed uncomfortable.

To my surprise, she offered a calm, relaxed trot-no signs of resistance, no threats to rear or buck, just a soft expression and willingness along with a more relaxed body.

The difference between the two videos is about a year, and the progress is incredible to see.
While she still has some improvements to make, I am happy with her progress!

These are the best kinds of texts to receive from clients — they make my day! 💕

I was contacted about this horse almost as a last-ditch effort to help him. He had suddenly started showing neurologic symptoms, and despite extensive efforts, the vets couldn’t pinpoint the cause. They tried injections and anti-inflammatories, but nothing brought significant relief. Eventually, retirement was looking like the only option. His owner reached out to me, hoping I could at least make him more comfortable in preparation for retirement.

What I found was a horse whose nervous system was so dysregulated that he couldn’t even drop his head or relax when being worked with. But through the owner’s dedication, the Balance Through Movement Method, nerve release sessions, and a lot of patience, he’s made incredible progress. He can now drop his head, relax, and walk in Pillar One. His most concerning symptom — circumduction of the hind leg — is completely gone! He’s overall much happier. While there’s still room for improvement, retirement no longer feels like a definite outcome for him. 💕
