Ortho-Bionomy for Horse People

Ortho-Bionomy for Horse People Whether you are a horseback rider or handler, you are dealing with the physical issues that ensue as a result of handling a 1,000 pound animal.

Ortho-Bionomy is a non-force, respectful and powerful bodywork modality that may help relieve pain of soft tissue, fascia, structure, nervous system, lymph, fluids and viscera. Ortho-Bionomy is a non-force, respectful and powerful bodywork modality that lends itself to the issues of horse riders and handlers, as well as horses. What are the areas of the body that riders tend to feel pain in the most? Knees, feet, lower back, upper thighs, hips, rotation in the pelvis (although most didn’t know that’s what had happened), shoulders, neck, and numbness in the feet and limbs. The most common replacements done? Knee and hip replacements. While these can be upsetting, horseback riders and lovers love to ride. In some instances, riders have reported that their pains go away just riding. One rider reported that her hip dysplasia was eased just being in the saddle. Because horse people tend to put their horses first on their priority list, this page is designed for riders and handlers to address their own physical needs surrounding horses. Susan Smith is a Registered Instructor & Advanced Practitioner of Ortho-Bionomy, Equine Ortho-Bionomy, Equine Acupressure certified Practitioner and Equine Positional Release Practitioner. She also founded Horses at Liberty Foundation Training for the cooperative treatment and handling of horses. Her work specializes in the horse and rider and energetic connections held therein.
