Equi-Bow

Your journey as a horse owner or future practitioner starts here

Often the body holds patterns of dysfunctional movement and or compensatory patterns due to pain. 

Equi-Bow is a very gentle, non-invasive, but incredibly effective Equine Bodywork Technique. It  brings together Bowen, Craniosacral, Myofascial Release, Acupressure and Feldenkrais-based techniques, to facilitate neuromuscular repatterning to create profound changes for the body & mind.

By influencing the neuro-fascial network, we can access the nervous system on both structural and bioenergetic levels. The magic comes when this body awareness allows the nervous system to reorganize physiological dysfunctions and structural integrity during a session and overtime as the changes integrate.

 Equi-Bow may well be one of the single most important tools owners and practitioners can utilize facilitate the healing of the whole body & mind of the horses in our lives. Helping to find relaxation, new postural stability and healthier biomechanics for comfortable movement. 

In our Equi-Bow Foundations Online course you to learn the relative anatomy, and the specific series of gentle "moves" to make using key muscles and fascial tissue movements needed to perform a Foundation Body Balance. 

We know that there are many external influences that play a role in how well their nervous system and body is or isn't doing. That's why we also dive into the top things we as humans can help manage to reduce challenge. Such as lifetstyle management, tack fit, behaviour, dental health, hoof care & so much more!

As a student you'll also gain access to our Community Space. Here you will find like minded horse owners and pros to chat with, learn from and connect with about cool cases.
