PROMOTING MOVEMENT ~ FUNCTION ~ and HEALTH

"There is an ever increasing realization that the actions, intentions, and techniques of the rider determines the health and vitality of the horse.  The responsibility of this stewardship of these amazing animals is directly connected with the stewardship of our own body's mechanical systems and our abilities to function in a way that is compatible with the nature of the horse." Dr. Donald J. Stout
EQUESTRIAN CARERegina Dressage Rider

Equitation is all about harmonious flowing movement between horse and rider against gravity. 

Physical Excellence for the Equestrian promotes proper Biomechanical alliance between horse and rider.  Our focus is to restore the fullest potential in supple movement against gravity to the rider.

Remember:  Healthy riders make happy horses and your horse will love you.

Improve your health ~ improve your seat ~ improve your ride ~ improve your horse.

We begin with a complete Biomechanical Evaluation of the rider knowing that every restriction of movement against gravity in the rider will affect the horse directly in a negative way.

My advance system of restoring natural body movement to the rider consists of a combination of massage, structural integration, chiropractic adjustment, natural body movement retraining, and nutrition.

A good trainer can exercise a horse back to health with proper technique.  But, if the horse or the rider are "stoved up" in any way, this is not completely possible and development of new holding patterns will result.

EQUINE NATURAL MOVEMENT CAREScripty and Dr. Don

  • Biomechanical Evaluation and Exam
    - Identify specific holding patterns
  • Structural Integration Five Series
    - Tissue Manipulation by Hand
  • Not an adjustment, not a massage...so  much more

To carry a rider, the body of a horse must borrow energy from one part to stabilize another against gravity.  If a saddle or rider is imbalanced, this borrowing of energy is cramping known as "holding patterns" in the muscles, tissues, and joints that cause inflammation and pain.  Yet, the horse will continue to work for us.  Layers of holding patterns can build up in the horse making it vulnerable to gross injury during normal movement.  In my grandpa's day, they called this condition being "stoved up".  This means that the horse's many parts are no longer integrated (a.k.a. working together) and cannot work together with each other against gravity...they are simply held tight, bracing not against gravity but away from each other to avoid pain and injury while we are trying to work them.  Structural Integration is a slow, manual therapy that carefully unwinds all these holding patterns back into the full body movement of the horse restoring supple movement against gravity.  This  reduces inflammation and pain.  Basically, giving the horse back its natural ability to move.  This reduces the need for adjusting the joints and helps adjusted joints keep their position longer. 

"A culmination of over 25 years of preparation ~ perfecting skills with a single purpose...to help the patient achieve 100% of their genetic potential." Dr. Donald J. Stout
CHIROSSAGE

ChirossageWhat if you could have all of the best healing therapies rolled into one?

Dr. Don combines all of the best hands on healing therapies into the same session giving superior and lasting results. 

Our secret to making the adjustment so much easier and more effective is combining the Doctor and the Therapist into one set of skilled hands to find the deepest restrictions within us and gently release them.

Enjoy your body more as it restores your health and vitality and absolute freedom of movement by releasing toxins, break down fatty tissue, remove excess water weight, and free up fascial restrictions for better and stronger muscle tissue growth, reduce inflammation, and gently break up scar tissue.

 

 

 

CHIRO-PRACTIC CARE

Chiro-Practic CareThe term "Chiropractic" was coined in the early 1900s by Dr. Palmer who believed in "hands on", one-on-one intuitive care between Doctor and patient for the purpose of natural healing. 

CHIRO = HAND

Today, Chiropractic Care is now defined as a system of restoring motion, nerve and blood flow to the body using the bones as levers and the joints as a fulcrum to open up the muscles and restore movement.   There are many adjustive techniques that have been developed over the years based on these principles. 

For the past 20 years Dr. Don has been developing an inertia-based adaptation to the adjustive technique that allows him to safely and effectively unload the joint that is stuck or fixed without over jerking or stressing the body.  What does this mean for the patient?  Less pain and discomfort and deeper, longer lasting results.  In theory using this style of manipulation, coupled with Massage and Structural Integration techniques (Chirossage), not only makes it is theoretically impossible to damage the body, but according to many studies is the most effective approach on record. 

NATURAL BODY MOVEMENT RESTORATION TECHNIQUE (NBMRT)

100% Genetic PotentialDr. Don has developed his own method of restoring natural movement against gravity to the body.   Coupled with the Chirossage treatment to free up the body's tissues, Dr. Don uses specific posturing techniques against gravity with light weight resistance. This restores natural flowing movement and full range of motion to the human body and allows it to perform at 100% of its genetic potential.  Because it involves using the same mechanism still contained in our body that was responsible for our original growth and development, this modality has been proven 100% effective for all ages and all conditions whether you are an athletic or desk jockey.  Because it is based on natural principles of human body mechanics against gravity, it works 100% of the time.

Dr. Don's premise was published in the the British Journal of Medicine (December 2005), the premier orthopedic/scientific journal.
