</MYMAILSTATIONERY> Equine Structural Integration - Rolfing for Horses |
<o:p></o:p> Many athletes have discovered the restorative benefits of Rolfing and recommend it as a way to prolong careers. Athletic performance is a vital part of equine competition from the reiner's powerful sliding stops to the controlled grace of dressage. Many horses suffer from soft tissue restrictions as a result of long trailer rides, hours spent on concrete, or harsh footing, and demanding show and training regimes. Releasing restrictions early on can slow the degradation of tissues, thus giving more longevity to a horse's performance career.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Rolfing restores balance and vitality by lengthening fascia that has become short, tight, and fibrous. Since connective tissue permeates the whole body, a restriction in an isolated area can have far-reaching effects. By realigning the physical structure, natural balance and alignment are brought back to the tissues, resulting in elegant, fluid movement.
