Assessing posture and performance

strange touch

rib hold/breathing

sacrum rock

Once you find the middle of the sacrum, you can do the acupressure point there for relaxation - just scratch the point at the centre of the sacrum (there will be a dip there)

wither rock

pec release acupressure

(Remember this is the hardest one to find - may be better to go “too low” then come up to find that cross fibre")

“inchworm” spinal release technique

bladder meridian sweep

additional resources

equine pain grimace scale

ideal hooves

(These are obviously barefoot, but you can see almost all these structures with shoes on)

An ideal hoof from sole view. The white parts next to the frog are the ‘bars’ - made of a similar style to the wall ie harder material than the sole itself.

additional exercises

cervical/neck stroke

For relieving tension in the neck - touch is as light as the bladder meridian and looking for similar signs for where to pause.
