The Mane Touch Club was something I really wanted to get off the ground this year.

The Mane Touch Club is about supporting therapists and students.

The last in-person catch-up earlier in the year was about connecting with your purpose as a therapist. There were fantastic discussions about different issues therapists and students encountered.

This time we are virtual and hitting the books and Google. During the summer it can be hard to travel, and therapists are always learning more. So lets make use of the time and the air conditioning!

What happens:

1. Join the link with your books, screens, coffees and any thing else you need to study.

2. A quick introduction about yourself, what you are studying.

3. Hit the books!

4. A check in with everyone - you can summaries what you learnt, say one really interesting point, comment about proof checking assessments.

Ah, that makes me feel old.

Guess I have been doing this for a while now....

I used to be a skeptic about tools, until I was completely proven wrong and it helped my treatments and body.

Do you have a tool you have seen and would like to learn more about? Are you looking to explain tools better to clients and need a bit of help?

I want to help others find the right tools to support their preferred therapies.

Feel free to mention the tool below or send a message if you are shy

A little sparkle that makes a big difference ✨

This festive season, our dazzling mini horse bag charms bring hope to horses in need. With every charm purchased, $2 is donated directly to Soquilichi Rescue Ranch - SRR - Australia ❤️

SRR is a self-funded, no-kill shelter in Queensland that works tirelessly all year to rescue, rehabilitate, and love every horse, dog and cat that comes their way.
Our very own rescue was given a second chance at this very shelter, because of them he is here today. 🐴

Together, we can shine a little brighter this season for the animals who need it most. 🎄

It's great that more owners and therapists want to understand the lymphatic system.

Learning manual equine lymphatic drainage is an excellent modality to help horses when they have congestion of the lymphatic vessels.

Did you know that lymphatic drainage is no longer described as a massage?

While this is super nerdy to think about, when learning basic massage techniques (Equestricare Equine Sports Therapy has an excellent course if you are interested), massage is the manipulation of soft tissue.

Kneading, compression have been shown to slow down the movement of lymphatic fluid through the vessels.

Manual lymphatic drainage is a super light directional stretch. It does not follow the same direction as muscles, fascia and hair.

It's also a technique that requires tutoring with hands-on support, as it is not the same pressure as massage.

I have a very last-minute trip to Auckland at the end of the month.

If you know of any groups that would like to learn about the lymphatic system or possibly run a workshop, please let me know 💙🩵💙🩵
