The Let Them Lead Rehabilitation Program is not only groundbreaking in its focus on freedom and flow but also deeply relatable for horse owners, who often seek a deeper connection with their equines. By mirroring the empowerment principles of the Let Them Theory, we:

​

• Honor the Horse’s Natural Wisdom:
  Recognizing that horses often know what they need allows owners to trust the process and support their horse’s journey with patience and empathy.

• Encourage Partnership:
  This approach creates a partnership between horse and caregiver, fostering mutual respect and understanding.

• Focus on Holistic Wellness:
  By addressing physical, emotional, and energetic aspects of health, the program delivers comprehensive care that resonates with owners seeking a balanced approach.

Kinesiology and Muscle Testing: A Path to Deeper Understanding

​​

Kinesiology is the study of body movement, and muscle testing is a core technique used to assess neuromuscular responses. Rooted in biomechanics and physiology, this method evaluates the subtle interactions between the nervous system, musculoskeletal system, and subconscious mind.

​

How It Works in Equines:

• Muscle Testing as Communication: By observing a horse’s subtle physical responses during gentle manipulation or testing, we gain insights into areas of imbalance or tension. Muscle responses can indicate underlying issues such as physical misalignments, nutritional deficiencies, or emotional blocks.

• Subconscious Mind and Divine Intervention: The subconscious mind stores vast amounts of information about an individual’s health and experiences. Through muscle testing, we can tap into this reservoir, guided by intuition and divine inspiration, to uncover what the horse truly needs for healing.

This process provides a scientifically logical yet holistic pathway for identifying root causes of discomfort and creating targeted, effective treatment plans.

 

Movement Therapy Guided by Cavesson Principles

​​

The integration of movement therapy is a crucial component of the rehabilitation process, guided by my signature combination of cavesson principles based on classical, time-tested techniques. The cavesson system, which involves a series of guiding principles around the use of the cavesson headgear and gentle, controlled movement exercises, provides a framework for introducing new movement patterns and encouraging fluid, natural movement.

​

How Cavesson Principles Tie In:

• Introduction of New Movement Patterns: The cavesson enables precise communication and direction, allowing the handler to guide the horse into specific movement patterns. By using subtle pressure and alignment cues, we can help the horse re-establish muscle memory and develop strength, flexibility, and coordination in a way that reduces strain on vulnerable areas.

• Restoring Postural Balance: Movement therapy using the cavesson promotes correct posture and biomechanical alignment. This process improves overall body awareness and spatial fluency, which is vital for the rehabilitation process, particularly in horses recovering from musculoskeletal or neurological conditions.

• Gentle and Gradual Training: Movement exercises are introduced progressively, ensuring that the horse does not become overtaxed during the rehabilitation process. These exercises focus on improving flexibility, range of motion, and proprioception (body awareness in space).

​

Holistic Integration in the Rehab Process

​​

Together, these therapies—Microcurrent Therapy, Electro Acuscope/Myopulse, PEMF, and Movement Therapy with Cavesson Principles—create a highly effective, holistic rehabilitation program that addresses the full spectrum of the horse’s recovery.

​

How These Modalities Work Together:

• Stimulate Healing at the Cellular Level: The combination of Microcurrent Therapy and PEMF works to improve cellular repair and optimize circulation, making tissues more receptive to movement therapy. This prepares the body to move freely and without discomfort.

• Targeted Pain Relief and Muscle Recovery: The Electro Acuscope/Myopulse provides targeted pain relief and muscle rebalancing, helping the horse move more comfortably as they undergo rehabilitation. This can also help prevent further injury during movement therapy.

• Building New Movement Patterns: The cavesson system facilitates the development of new movement patterns in a controlled and therapeutic manner. The precise guidance it provides helps the horse regain fluidity and proper biomechanics while minimizing stress on the body.

 

By combining these advanced techniques with the natural movement focus of cavesson training, we offer horses a rehabilitation experience that is scientifically grounded, gentle, and highly effective. Each modality serves to support and enhance the others, creating a healing environment that promotes lasting, holistic recovery for the equine body and mind.
