Amy Lambley EEBW - Equine Body Work
About us
As an Equinology Equine Body Worker (EEBW) my job involves assessing the whole horse and taking into account all aspects of their lives which can effect their health and performance. As part of your horses wider healthcare team, including you/the owner, your trainer, farrier, veterinarian, nutritionist, saddler, dentist etc. it is my aim to assess your horses conformation, lifestyle and workload to identify where problems may be likely to occur, address minor issues as they develop before they can become greater lameness inducing problems, which lead to lost days training/competing/enjoyment and where mishaps do happen such as kicks, slips or falls and post-surgery etc. I can work alongside your veterinarian to provide a tailored recovery and rehabilitation programme.
My sessions involve a combination of sports massage and muscle mobilisation techniques as well as stretching and activation exercises to relax the soft tissues and restore circulation, therefore reducing discomfort and improving movement and performance.
Signs that your horse may benefit from an equine sports massage session include:
-Reluctance to go forward/napping
-Change in behaviour
-Difficulty turning
-Girthy
-Unhappy being groomed/tacked up/rugged
-uncharacteristic knocking of poles when jumping,
-hollowing
-hanging on one/both reins
-heavy on the forehand
-disunited and/or changing legs in canter
-difficulty with lengthened strides and or collection
-loss of power in the hindquarters
-crooked movement
etc..etc..
Horses can suffer with muscle problems for a multitude of reasons such as conformation weaknesses, poor farriery, poor saddle fit, unbalanced rider, over working (fatigue), repetitive exercise strain, accidents in stable/field and with other horses, poor footing/surfaces, illness, poor nutrition amongst many others.
It is the body workers job to take a full history assess the horse both standing and in work (if appropriate), sometimes with different riders or on different surfaces, assess the horses... show more exercise regime and equipment etc. and to carry out a full massage session including stretching exercises where appropriate to put together a full picture of the horses condition at that time.
It is hugely beneficial to get your horse into a regular maintenance routine with a bodyworker because, often, small problems can be resolved before any outward signs of an issue are visible. Therefore lameness and debilitating discomfort may be avoided.
