The Equine Touch

Equine Touch is a non-diagnostic, non-invasive, energy and connective soft tissue discipline which works at a complete holistic level; that is, it addresses the equine as a whole without paying any particular attention to any named problem as such. On a practical level it consists of a series of gentle moves performed over specific points in predetermined patterns which are interspersed with waiting periods to allow the equine to recognizes and process the effects of these subtle procedures.

These procedures when performed with accuracy, integrity and intent (A.I.I.) have the effect of inducing deep relaxation, releasing hypertonic and traumatized muscles, encouraging muscle tone recovery from injury and atrophy, reducing the pain spiral, and assisting in detoxification and lymphatic drainage. The horse through these series of gentle moves is trained to rebalance not only physically but emotionally, energy blocks are released, unwanted structures appear to dissolve, and the flow of Ki is stimulated through the meridians, allowing the equine to attain and maintain the ideal state of homeostasis in which its own innate healing power is able to work to its maximum potential.

The Equine Touch is quite simply a discipline, a set of pre ordained procedures that the practitioner applies to the horse no matter what problem the equine presents at the time. The fact that the equine is able to deal with long standing problems after a session of ET and that there is undeniably a remedial and therapeutic effect, wherein the horse is, as a result of its own innate healing system, freely able to process and ultimately dissolve unwanted structures while in the balanced state of homeostasis.

The Equine Touch is not designed or intended in any way in whole or in part to be a substitute for orthodox allopathic veterinary practice. It is not a therapy as such but a holistic gift to the equine which is as complementary to allopathic address as it is to chiropractic, homeopathy and herbal medicine as well as the horses own healing system.
