SENIOR HORSE CARE & THE RULE OF THE ARTERY
This episode explores senior horse management and the importance of mobility for health in later life. Elisse shares insights on her herd, previously aged 22 to 42, and her focus on environmental flow in her track system.
This led to a discussion on how circulation and fluid flow are vital for health, emphasizing the need to assess and restore vitality through bodywork as a crucial, often overlooked treatment.
CRANIAL & ENDOCRINE SYSTEM INTERELATEDNESS
We venture into some of our favourite territory, the cranium, and more specifically the sphenoid bone, and its relationship to the master gland, the pituitary, and subsequent potential impact on the endocrine system.
We can't help but get into all the interconnections, how to tell if your horse has a possible sphenoid issue, and what to do to help, as well as a conversation about one of Elisse's very fascinating rehabilitation projects.
FEELS LIKE DEEPER DATA POINTS
This conversation with Lockie Phillips, Emotional Horsemanship, explores horse anatomy, ways to support it, and how to understand function and lameness in horses.
This episode combines human and equine science, offering insights into anatomy and physiology while emphasizing assessment and the importance of dissection in understanding these concepts.
GETTING TO THE HEART OF IT
Elisse Miki and Josh Nichol have teamed up to build a bridge between the anatomy and physiology of the heart and how it relates to our horsemanship.
This conversation led us to numerous incredible and enlightening places, revealing valuable insights into how the anatomy of the heart can be beautifully mirrored in our horsemanship, and how each aspect influences the other. If you are looking for the perfect blending of spirit and science this episode is for you!
THE NERVOUS SYSTEM: MAJOR KEY TO REHABILITATION
This time we venture into more of our favourite territory, this time focusing on the nervous system, neuroplasticity, motor control, rehabilitation, what cranial work has to do with any of this, and all things neuroscience.
This episode explores horse rehabilitation, offering insights into why your horse may not be recovering as expected and suggesting simple exercises that promote motor control and neuroplasticity, even during stall rest.
THE FOUNDATIONAL MECHANISMS BEHIND CRANIAL WORK
If you’ve been curious about why cranial work is so effective, what mechanisms are actually being worked with and how they function to help or hinder our horses, this episode is rich with learning theory and content that seeks to answer these questions, and much more.
Join us to explore the fascinating anatomical landscape of the cranium and spinal cord through an osteopathic lens. This episoe is also a great taste test for prospective students!
