How realistic are your expectations for outcomes in a single bodywork session?

What are realistic expectations to reach physiological and anatomical goals?

How do you balance client expectations and practitioner expectations for sessions, and for reaching training goals?

Join me and special guest Dr Kendle Dykstra of Unity Chiropractic as we chat about our ideas on bodywork, reaching goals and bridging the gap between client expectations and physiological realities.

Getting stronger. Watching static posture. We talk about this as bodywork practitioners, but it’s often COMPLETELY misinterpreted.

Practitioners cannot forget the nuances of neutral stance being a sensation from the CNS, and not an inflicted stance from a practitioner’s perspective.

Moreover, learning to read posture to understand movement bias is a huge part of being a successful practitioner.

Join me for this episode of the Starline Equine Bodywork Podcast where I walk through the subtleties of Posture, Neutral Stance, Strength and Movement Bias.

When marketing a bodywork business it is common for practitioners to show images and say what a great job they did. It is also common for them to say how much better off that horse is with them now “leading the team”.

But this self-aggrandizing approach to marketing is really unfair to the team of practitioners that came before. Perhaps the original team was responsible for a huge chunk of the transformation thus far. Their work should not be disrespected and discredited.

A wise farrier once told me “I won’t comment on what the other guy did or didn’t do before me, because I don’t know what it looked like when he started.”

These are words that have always stuck with me.

Join me for this episode of the Starline Equine Bodywork Podcast, where I look at a kinder and more respectful approach to professional marketing.

“Girthiness” is one of the most commonly expressed concerns from horse owners in my 1:1 practice.

As soft tissue practitioners faced with a girth-sensitive horse, we address all of the muscles that are related to the saddle area, shoulder and girth.

However new literature has proposed that this “girthiness” may actually be coming from the withers.

Join me for this episode where I discuss girth pain syndrome in horses, and the astonishing new thoughts on its cause, prevalence and treatment.

On client intake forms I often see lists of supplements the horses are on. Some are a mile long!

I have to ask:
How many actually work?
How many are necessary?
How many clash with the other supplements the horse is on?
When should we alter what we supplement with?

Join me for this episode where science backed nutrition expert Isabelle D’Costa of Honos Nutrition talks to me about supplements. We dive into requirement supplements and support supplements and how to know what your horse actually needs.

Social media seems essential for marketing a bodywork business.

Social media also seems responsible for spreading incorrect information about the science of bodywork.

Sadly, sometimes this is coming from the accounts of bodyworkers themselves! Ugh. How frustrating for other bodyworkers and for consumers.

How do we find a happy place with social media? How do we use it to have conversations that elevate our practice?

Join me for this episode of the Starline Equine Bodywork Podcast, where I chat about the dangers of education from social media, and how to make sure are getting the facts.

“Fascia” has become both a buzz word and a scapegoat for all that ails our horses.

The claims made my many manual therapists are far fetched and don’t reflect the science and literature around what this connective tissue is, and really isn’t capable of.

Join me for this episode where I look at common false claims, and the need to re-evaluate the language we use as manual practitioners to better describe what it is we are doing with our horses in bodywork sessions.

Pain is only one outcome measure we are looking at when bring a horse back into work.
Statistics show that the #1 thing you are most likely to injure when returning to play is the thing you injured in the first place.

This means that we need to look at the rehabilitation process very closely and use several outcome measures to live through the phases of recovery.

Join me for this episode where we look at the phases of injury and rehabilitation. We break down when global exercises are indicated and when tissue specific inputs are needed.
