Equine Fascia and Trauma Release Workshops
All mammals possess the ability to neurogenically tremor after an arousal of the autonomic nervous system. Humans, however, have overridden the brain stem function, which allows them to naturally shake off this hyperarousal after a fight, flight or freeze response. When manual fascia release is administered to humans and domesticated horses, we can access the areas of stored trauma in the body, whether from a slow stress state or massive traumatic episode. We are also able to create phenomenal healing in the connective tissue where injury and pain occur and release scars that could be creating a problem in the fascia’s web.
In this workshop, horse owners and therapists alike will be taught the anatomical and biokinetic philosophy of fascia and the ‘fascia trains’ as discovered by the team led by Vibeke Elbrond at the University of Copenhagen (based on the ‘anatomy trains’ of Tom Myers) and how to release the tremor mechanism of the horse and human. The attention is initially focused on the riders and their own compensation patterns, with the introduction of an effective manual therapy tool to self-treat their equines and themselves.
The workshop is not designed to replace but rather enhance the equine therapist’s toolbox and enable them to add a new aspect to their work. It takes a more in-depth look at the fascia trains as well as pain patterns, the link between chronic pain and trauma, and the neurology of the autonomic nervous system.
Module 1
Includes the theory of fascia, scar tissue and imbalances, and how to recognise and treat these in both horse and rider. The theory of the fascia slings – based on the research by Dr Vibecke Elbrond – becomes a practical addition to the gentle fascia-release techniques.
Equine Fascia and Trauma Release is open to professional equine bodyworkers and horse owners/riders alike.
COURSE PROGRAM DETAILS
Module 2
Offers more in-depth theory on the fascia, how it works as an electrical system, and how to integrate various techniques, including osteopathic craniosacral work. The students also learn how to scan the energetic body with simple techniques and to work with the more subtle electromagnetic fields around us. More focus is given to the neurological system, the organs and the brain to understand the ways in which the fascial system extends beyond the musculoskeletal body. We also look at the power of the heart and the research behind the Heart Math Institute.
Advanced Workshop for EFTR® Equine Fascia and Trauma Release is open to professional equine bodyworkers and horse owners/riders who have completed Module 1.
