When the compensations are removed, the core issues can be identified.

When all the compensations are removed through bodywork, massage, trauma release and/or skeletal alignment, that is when we see any lameness, short striding, stiffness, any symptoms at all only happen after the compensations are gone.

When this happens, sometimes my clients think I "broke" their horse. This is NOT the case. It simply means that the core issue(s) has been revealed and it can now be properly addressed and corrected. If not correctable, it can at least help the owner work with their horse in a way that supports them both to create a new way of working together.
