I'm holding a benefit class to help rescues provide integrative veterinary care for the animals in their care. Check out the details here

A donation-based class to care for your body while helping rescue and foster animals get the integrative veterinary care that otherwise wouldn't be an option for them.

I had 3 clients with high amounts of pain today. One with knee, back, hip and leg pain. The second with a mix of systemic chronic pain and biomechanical issues. The 3rd with ankle strain.

These are messages from the first 2. A very good way to end the week.

I want to add, the first and 3rd clients were going to cancel because of their pain and thinking there’s nothing they can do.

There’s almost always a way to make your pain better.

Whether a client comes to me because of pain or they want to get stronger or perform better at a sport—nervous system work is always involved.

Pain doesn’t have to be a complete setback.

Both of these clients sessions went more bodywork and less exercise today. Body work is just a tool though. By itself, it doesn’t solve anything. It allows me to coach them through retraining movement patterns.

Most sessions are 95% movement and strength training. Without retraining movement, bodywork is a bandaid at best.

Retraining also doesn’t happen as well without the type of bodywork I do. No, it’s not massage.

I use tools to get your body to function the way it’s meant to.

33 yrs. Lots of tools. Almost never a good reason to cancel a session.

Client number 3 did an upper body workout today and I had her do ribcage and pelvis work. I did some bodywork on her to help her stop breathing with her neck muscles. And a little directly on her ankle.
But, her ankle’s issue isn’t the ankle.

Anyhoo, I’ll report back when I find out how she’s feeling. She walked out of here moving a lot better than she walked in. 💪

I’m not sure if I would have listened when I was a younger equestrian, but, the reason I work with equestrians is because I’m doing what I know I needed way back then and it’s definitely what riders and their horses need today. It just wasn’t a thing back then.

Now there’s an awareness of needing fitness outside of riding. But mainstream fitness isn’t what you need.

You need strength and mobility and all the things, but, you’ve got to have a foundation that functions as your body was meant to as a human.

You can’t become the best equestrian athlete you can be by adding to a cracked foundation.

I'm so excited to be bringing Equestrian Body Rebalance Clinic to Grosse Pointe Equestrian on Tuesday!

This clinic focuses on the rider's body. Tension, pain, and movement issues aren't fixed on the horse.

No amount of coaching in a lesson is going to break the patterns in your brain behind that over-arched back, swinging leg, over-involvement of hands, tight hips and feet that never feel like they find the sweet spot.

Click the link to find out more and schedule a session or a clinic out at your barn!

Rider-focused clinics and private sessions focused on biomechanics, breath, and body work for better body awareness, communication and enjoyment in the saddle.
