Would you like your horse to experience a deeply relaxing therapy which is beneficial to his overall well-being?

Equine Muscle Release Therapy™ (EMRT) is a unique and powerful treatment developed in Australia by horsewoman Alison Goward from her work as a Bowen Technique therapist, a similar therapy used on people.

Unlike many therapies EMRT benefits the whole body, not just the problem area. Many owners have already testified to the all-round improvement they see and feel in their horse after being treated using EMRT.

Phillip Dutton, Gold Medal Olympic rider said:

"I first used the Bowen Therapy in Canada. I had traveled for 11 hours and had terrible lower back pain and stiffness. After one treatment of the Bowen Therapy, I felt much better and by the following morning I was feeling great. I am not usually a great believer in this kind of therapy but I am convinced this really helps heal your body. I have since started my horses on it."

Like us, the stresses and strains of daily life can take a toll on our horses.
In order for the horse to be as well as it can be, it needs the sum of all of its parts to be healthy, in balance, and like a well-oiled machine, working smoothly. When a part of the horse is injured or an area repeatedly stressed (and therefore not able to work as it should), other areas of the body are obliged to take up the load.

In this way imbalances occur and patterns of compensation are set up within the body. These patterns don't always resolve once the injury/ problem has passed and this can, if not dealt with, lead to physical problems as well as behavioural issues. These problems are often mis-interpreted as the horse being “difficult” or even “badly behaved” when really there is discomfort and pain at the root of it all.

Horses can be injured in a number of ways; by pulling back when tied, hitting their heads in lorries, slipping/twisting or falling in the field, jarring their backs whilst jumping; or they can incur problems from poorly fitting tack and rugs or from incorrect training. The rider can also have a direct influence, perhaps having sustained injuries themselves in the past which have not been resolved (such as a bad back) which may be influencing the horse's way of going. The list is endless.
