Healing Horses Gently with Bowen Therapy. Equine Muscle Release Therapy™ is the only accredited Bowen therapy for Horses with the BTAA world wide.
The Equine Muscle Release Therapy™ technique works to free energy blockages and imbalances in the body. The technique involves the use of gentle, non invasive soft tissue manipulation that stimulates the energy flows throughout the body. EMRT™ address the genetic coding and instinct of the horse promoting realignment, balance and healing in the horse.
An EMRT™ session follows a sequence of rolling moves at key points of the horses body. These moves work directly over the connective tissue (Fascia) with is found throughout the body. Fascia should be moist and elastic to allow free movement of muscles, joints and fluid in the body. Any injury or stress can cause Fascia to harden, adversely affecting the way the horses body operates.
EMRT™ is holistic in its nature and working over the Central Nervous System brings the whole body back into a natural state of balance and alignment.
EMRT™ does not use any physical force or musculoskeletal manipulation

Having a Treatment performed on your horse
Its important that you have a safe area for the horse to be treated - possibly where he can still see his friends but not be distracted or threaten by them. As the treatment will relax your horse he may feel very vulnerable - so its important he feels safe. Make sure the area your horse is to be treated in, is cleared of anything that may flap or move and frighten him.
As a handler it is extremely important not to pat or touch the horse whilst in treatment. Patting, or rubbing / stroking can distract the horse and reduce the effect of the EMRT™ treatment.
As horses are grazing animals having a biscuit of hay to munch on during the treatment is a perfect way to encourage them to relax and take in the EMRT™. It is also handy to have water available as the treatment will encourage him to drink!
During the treatment the horse will be given wait times - around 2 minutes each - where they are left alone to process what is happening to the body. A safe yard that the handler and practitioner can step out of in this time is ideal. But if you do not have a yard the practitioner can advise on how hold the horse whilst they leave his personal energy space.
