Great information on how Acuscope and Myopulse can help a horse recover from EPM POST medication. Unfortunately, EPM is common where we live. This is just one of many reasons Iโ€™m thankful to offer this modality in our rural area!

If you have questions how Acuscope and Myopulse can help with your situation please give me a call or shoot me a text!!

Todayโ€™s topic: ๐„๐๐Œ

Since the beginning of my career I have helped various EPM cases recover here in CA and one trend I have noticed is that a good percentage of Californians arenโ€™t that familiar with EPM and honestly do not think their horse can contract the infection because it's only in the โ€œmidwest.โ€ This is no longer true, EPM is now prevalent in many areas of the country, including CA. So let's take a dive into what EPM is, what the symptoms are, and how to rehabilitate a horse that has EPM.

๐‘พ๐’‰๐’‚๐’• ๐’Š๐’” ๐‘ฌ๐‘ท๐‘ด?
EPM is an abbreviation for Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis. Horses contract the disease by becoming infected with protozoal parasites (Sarcocystis neurona or Neospora hughesi) commonly found in opossum f***s. The opossum will defecate in the hay or sometimes water then the horse ingests it and that is how the horse becomes exposed to the parasite. After the parasite is ingested it makes its way through the horseโ€™s digestive tract into the bloodstream. Other hosts have been identified as skunks, armadillos, raccoons, and domestic cats, although it is unlikely they directly pass the parasite to horses, they do contribute to spreading the parasite throughout the environment. Many horses are exposed to EPM, but only a small percentage present clinical symptoms of the disease. A horse that has a strong immune system is capable of fighting off the infection, but a horse that has a compromised immune system is more susceptible to developing symptoms. Health conditions, stress, and even steroids (remember corticosteroids affect the immune system) can affect the horseโ€™s immune response. In the case a horse cannot fight off the infection the parasites then attack the Central Nervous System (CNS) resulting in inflammation of the nervous system that leads to neurological symptoms.

๐‘บ๐’š๐’Ž๐’‘๐’•๐’๐’Ž๐’” ๐’๐’‡ ๐‘ฌ๐‘ท๐‘ด
Every horse displays different symptoms of EPM depending how significantly and which area of the CNS is affected. It is good to know not only the obvious symptoms of the disease, but also the subtle changes that may go unnoticed until more serious symptoms develop. Some of the more subtle symptoms include, behavior or personality changes (such as, spookiness, depression, irritability) gait abnormalities, hind end weakness, stumbling, and incoordination. These symptoms can vary in severity and sometimes are not constant. More obvious symptoms of a horse suffering from EPM include, muscle atrophy, ataxia, cranial nerve dysfunction, muscle stiffness (possibly tying up), abnormal stance or leaning on walls.

After your DVM has properly diagnosed the horse with EPM your vet will prescribe a certain medication or discuss your medication options with you. I have my personal preferences for EPM meds, but your vet can go over that information. In my experience most cases are giving meds around 60-90 days unless severe. Additionally, you are going to want to support your horseโ€™s recovery by providing a forage based diet with low grain and low starch. Vitamin E supplement is also your friend, supplementing a high quality vitamin E LIQUID is essential to helping not only the horseโ€™s immune system but also nerve health (liquid has been proven to be more soluble than powder UCD research study states). Depending on the severity of symptoms your vet may advise further recommendations to support your horse through the process.

After a horse has been successfully treated with medication for EPM, most of the time the ailments and weakness caused by the parasites still remain. This disease is neurologic, the parasites have attacked the CNS, which is the hub of the body, while the medication kills the parasites and addresses some inflammation it does not restore the CNS to its previous state of functionality. The body is always trying to repair itself, but to help ensure the horse returns to its previous state it is very important to help regenerate the CNS post EPM, which the Acuscope has the capability to do. The Acuscope has direct access to the nervous system and can help regenerate nerves along the spinal cord that have been damaged by the parasite. In addition, the Myopulse can help restore the integrity of the muscles that have become atrophied or weak, which helps to restore coordination and balance. All of the horses that I have treated post EPM have made great recoveries, even some that were thought to never be ridable again.

This is but a short summary of EPM. We could talk for days and go into many different aspects and become more fine tuned, but this is a generalization of the disease that many people should become familiar with. This does not only affect โ€œmidwestโ€ horses, this is a disease that has become prevalent across the country.

Letโ€™s talk about the two things that influence your horseโ€™s body more than anything else:
๐…๐š๐ฌ๐œ๐ข๐š and ๐›๐ข๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐œ๐ก๐š๐ง๐ข๐œ๐ฌ.
If Part 3 was about what compensation looks like, Part 4 is about why it develops in the first place and how we fix it.

And spoiler alert:
Itโ€™s not magic.
Itโ€™s not โ€œjust how theyโ€™re built.โ€
Itโ€™s science, structure, and the bodyโ€™s survival system.

โญ ๐…๐š๐ฌ๐œ๐ข๐š: ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐๐จ๐๐ฒโ€™๐ฌ ๐‚๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐œ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐‡๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ฐ๐š๐ฒ

Fascia is NOT โ€œjust connective tissue.โ€
Itโ€™s the bodyโ€™s most dynamic, intelligent system one giant 3D web that wraps through, around, and between ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐ž ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐œ๐ฅ๐ž, ๐ฃ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ญ, ๐ญ๐ž๐ง๐๐จ๐ง, ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐š๐ง, ๐š๐ง๐ ๐›๐จ๐ง๐ž.

When fascia tightens, sticks, or becomes restricted, it can:

โ€ข Pull joints out of alignment
โ€ข Change hoof loading patterns
โ€ข Limit stride length
โ€ข Create bracing through the topline
โ€ข Shift weight unevenly through the diagonal pairs
โ€ข Cause that โ€œwonโ€™t bend leftโ€ or โ€œfeels stuck on the rightโ€ feeling
โ€ข Make the horse move differently to avoid tension or pain

This is why you canโ€™t isolate one muscle or one body part in rehab.

If fascia is stuck, movement is stuck.
And when movement is stuck, compensation begins.

โญ ๐๐ข๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐œ๐ก๐š๐ง๐ข๐œ๐ฌ: ๐‡๐จ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐๐จ๐๐ฒ ๐’๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐Œ๐จ๐ฏ๐ž

Biomechanics is simply:
๐‡๐จ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐›๐จ๐๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ž๐ง ๐ข๐ญโ€™๐ฌ ๐ก๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก๐ฒ, ๐›๐š๐ฅ๐š๐ง๐œ๐ž๐, ๐š๐ง๐ ๐Ÿ๐ข๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐œ๐จ๐ซ๐ซ๐ž๐œ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฒ.

A balanced horse moves like this:

โ€ข Hind end drives โ†’ core stabilizes โ†’ ribcage lifts โ†’ front end frees up
โ€ข Forces travel diagonally through the body
โ€ข Joints load evenly
โ€ข Fascia glides
โ€ข Steps match left-to-right
โ€ข The spine flexes and absorbs shock
โ€ข The body stays symmetrical under the rider or on the ground

This is the blueprint the body wants to follow.

But when something interferes ; pain, weakness, stiffness, poor posture, old injuries, or even training mistakes, the biomechanics shift.
And then the fascia adapts.
And then the entire movement pattern rewrites itself.

Thatโ€™s how compensation becomes โ€œnormal.โ€

โญ ๐‡๐ž๐ซ๐žโ€™๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐Š๐ž๐ฒ: ๐…๐š๐ฌ๐œ๐ข๐š ๐š๐ง๐ ๐๐ข๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐œ๐ก๐š๐ง๐ข๐œ๐ฌ ๐‚๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐œ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐‚๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ง๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฒ

You canโ€™t fix biomechanics without addressing fascia.
And you canโ€™t fix fascia without retraining biomechanics.

This is where people get stuck.

They:
โ€ข Stretch the horse
โ€ข Work the horse harder
โ€ข Put special shoes on
โ€ข Do injections
โ€ข Do one chiro session
โ€ข Or just hope conditioning rides will fix it

But if the fascia chain is still restricted? โ†’ the horse reverts.
If the biomechanics arenโ€™t retrained? โ†’ the pattern returns.
If the compensation isnโ€™t addressed at its source? โ†’ the problem persists.

This is EXACTLY why your โ€œwhole horseโ€ approach works because you treat causes, not symptoms.

โญ ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐“๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐Œ๐ž๐š๐ง๐ฌ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž โ€œ๐“๐ก๐š๐ญโ€™๐ฌ ๐‰๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐‡๐จ๐ฐ ๐Œ๐ฒ ๐‡๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ž ๐ˆ๐ฌ ๐Œ๐š๐๐žโ€ ๐Œ๐ฒ๐ญ๐ก

Letโ€™s say a horse has:

โ€ข A short right front stride
โ€ข A dropped right shoulder
โ€ข A tighter right ribcage
โ€ข A weaker left hind
โ€ข An underrun left front heel

To an untrained eye, this looks like conformation.

But to someone who understands fascia + biomechanics?
This screams diagonal compensation pattern caused by a hind-end weakness or restriction.

Once the fascia is releasedโ€ฆ
Once the strength is rebuiltโ€ฆ
Once you restore proper loading and balanceโ€ฆ
Once the horse can move correctly againโ€ฆ

Suddenly the โ€œconformation issueโ€ disappears.

Because it was never conformation.
It was adaptation.

Your horseโ€™s body is not betraying them.
Itโ€™s protecting them.

And when you combine:
โœจ Fascia release
โœจ Correct biomechanics
โœจ Functional strength rebuilding
โœจ Consistency in rehab

Youโ€™re not just fixing a movement problem
youโ€™re undoing YEARS of compensation and giving your horse the chance to move the way they were designed to.

This is how we break the patterns.
This is how we rebuild balance.
This is how we change the whole horse.

Hereโ€™s the thing about horses:
They donโ€™t wake up one day suddenly crooked, lame, or โ€œweird.โ€
Compensation builds slowly, quietly, over time.
The body is ALWAYS trying to protect itself, and it will trade posture, balance, and movement to do it.

And because horses are masters of survival, these patterns often look โ€œnormalโ€โ€ฆ until you know what youโ€™re looking at.

Letโ€™s break it down ๐Ÿ‘‡

โญ ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ˆ๐ฌ ๐‚๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ž๐ง๐ฌ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง?

Compensation is the bodyโ€™s way of saying:
โ€œ๐’๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ก๐ฎ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ, ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ž๐š๐ค, ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ข๐ฌ๐งโ€™๐ญ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฏ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญโ€ฆ ๐ฌ๐จ ๐ˆโ€™๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฏ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐š๐ฒ ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐š๐.โ€

Itโ€™s not bad behavior.
Itโ€™s not laziness.
Itโ€™s not training level.
Itโ€™s not temperament.

Itโ€™s the body making adjustments to avoid pain or overuse and those adjustments ALWAYS show up somewhere else.

Think of it like a ripple in the fascia web.
One restriction โ†’ one weak link โ†’ one pain point
โ€ฆcreates a whole chain reaction.

โญ ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐๐จ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ ๐‹๐ข๐ž๐ฌ. ๐ˆ๐ญ ๐‰๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐€๐๐š๐ฉ๐ญ๐ฌ

Most horses donโ€™t show pain outright.
They show it through patterns:

โ€ข Shorter stride
โ€ข Dropped shoulder
โ€ข Head tilt
โ€ข Bracing the neck
โ€ข Hollowing the back
โ€ข Stabbing steps
โ€ข Swinging the hindquarters out
โ€ข โ€œHeavyโ€ on the forehand
โ€ข One lead harder than the other
โ€ข One direction always stiffer
โ€ข Toed-out stance
โ€ข Standing camped under or camped out
โ€ข Tail carried to one side
โ€ข Heels underrun on ONE front foot (hello diagonal hind problem ๐Ÿ‘€)

These arenโ€™t personality quirks.
These arenโ€™t โ€œhow theyโ€™re made.โ€
These are compensation strategies.

Your horse is literally telling you:
โ€œ๐ˆโ€™๐ฆ ๐ฆ๐š๐ง๐š๐ ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ .โ€

โญ ๐–๐ก๐ฒ ๐‚๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ž๐ง๐ฌ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐†๐ž๐ญ๐ฌ ๐Œ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ž๐ ๐’๐จ ๐„๐š๐ฌ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฒ

Because it shows up in the place thatโ€™s working the HARDEST not the place thatโ€™s hurting.

So the front end takes the blameโ€ฆ
while the hind end is the true culprit.

The feet get blamedโ€ฆ
while the posture is actually the problem.

The farrier gets blamedโ€ฆ
when really the horse is loading unevenly because of a deeper imbalance.

The rider gets blamedโ€ฆ
when the horse was compromised before you even got in the saddle.

Owners miss it because horses are built to hide pain.
Professionals miss it because they look at the symptom, not the whole chain.

But when you understand compensation,
you start connecting the dots.

โญ ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐…๐š๐ฌ๐œ๐ข๐š๐ฅ ๐‚๐ก๐š๐ข๐ง ๐“๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐–๐ก๐จ๐ฅ๐ž ๐’๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฒ

The fascia system links the body together like an inner web.
When ONE area tightens, strains, or protectsโ€ฆ
you see changes everywhere:

โ€ข A sticky left shoulder? โ†’ often a right hind issue
โ€ข Choppy in front? โ†’ likely a hind-end strength or SI problem
โ€ข High/low front feet? โ†’ compensation through the diagonal pair
โ€ข Tight back? โ†’ core weakness or lack of lateral stability
โ€ข Popping stifle? โ†’ glutes, psoas, or fascia line restrictions
โ€ข Struggling to bend? โ†’ ribcage rotation, not โ€œattitudeโ€

Nothing happens in isolation.

If a horse compensates long enough, the brain rewires movement patterns.

So what was once a temporary survival strategy becomes:
โ€œJust how this horse moves now.โ€

And thatโ€™s where people start saying the phrase I built this mini-series to destroy:
โ€œThatโ€™s just how my horse is made.โ€

No.
Thatโ€™s just how theyโ€™ve ADAPTED.

We can un-adapt it.
We can rebuild it.
We can retrain it.
We can return the body to the movement it was designed to have.

If your horse looks crookedโ€ฆ
moves unevenlyโ€ฆ
stands oddlyโ€ฆ
or feels different from left to rightโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s not โ€œjust them.โ€

Itโ€™s compensation.
Itโ€™s communication.
Itโ€™s a clue.
And itโ€™s fixable with the right approach and biomechanics.

This is one of the biggest misunderstandings I see in the horse world, and honestlyโ€ฆ itโ€™s a huge reason so many horses stay stuck in pain or bad movement patterns for years.

People look at a horse standing funny, moving crooked, or carrying themselves inverted and go:
โ€œWelp, thatโ€™s just their conformation.โ€

But hereโ€™s the truth:
๐‚๐จ๐ง๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง is what they were born with.
๐๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž is what life, pain, habit, and training did to them.

And 90% of the โ€œconformation problemsโ€ Iโ€™m called out to look atโ€ฆ are actually posture problems rooted in fascia, pain, or compensation.

Letโ€™s break it down ๐Ÿ‘‡

โญ ๐‚๐จ๐ง๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง = ๐’๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐œ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž

This is the horseโ€™s foundation. The bone structure they came into the world with.
Examples:
โ€ข Straight vs turned-out legs
โ€ข Long vs short back
โ€ข Shoulder angle
โ€ข Hip structure
โ€ข Pastern length
โ€ข Ribcage shape
โ€ข Neck set

Conformation can influence movement potential.
But true conformation issues are way less common than people think.

And hereโ€™s the kicker:
Conformation does not change.
(At least not without trauma, and if it did change, youโ€™d definitely know.)

โญ ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž = ๐€๐๐š๐ฉ๐ญ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง

Posture is the story of how your horse has been moving, compensating, and protecting themselves.
Posture is shaped by:
โ€ข Pain
โ€ข Fascia restrictions
โ€ข Muscle imbalance
โ€ข Poor saddle fit
โ€ข Hoof balance
โ€ข Weakness
โ€ข Rider influence
โ€ข Training habits
โ€ข Old injuries
โ€ข And simple survival strategies

Unlike conformationโ€ฆ
โœจ Posture can absolutely change and FAST.
I watch horses change their topline, their neck carriage, their ribcage rotation, their step length, their stance, and their entire way of going once we release the restrictions and get the system moving correctly.

This is why you see those โ€œbefore and afterโ€ photos after their stays.
Their structure didnโ€™t change.
Their posture did.

โญ Hereโ€™s the part most people missโ€ฆ

A horse with โ€œgood conformationโ€ can still look terrible if their posture is collapsed.

A horse with โ€œaverage conformationโ€ can move like a million bucks when their posture is balanced.

And a horse with โ€œbad conformationโ€ often looks 10x worse simply because their posture is compensating for something deeper.

That is why itโ€™s so important to understand this difference:
Posture exposes the truth about whatโ€™s happening inside the body.

โญ Examples youโ€™ve seen (even if you didnโ€™t know it):

โ€ข A horse who stands under themselves behind โ†’ usually hind-end weakness, pain, or tight fascia
โ€ข A horse who looks downhill โ†’ often a dropped sternum or weak core, not actually โ€œbuilt downhillโ€
โ€ข โ€œU-neckโ€ or โ€œewe-neckโ€ โ†’ posture pattern from bracing, poor topline engagement, or not engaging the core (which raises the topline and turns on the back muscles)
โ€ข Shoulder asymmetry โ†’ often a ribcage problem or uneven hind-end push
โ€ข Toed-out stance โ†’ compensating for stifle or SI discomfort
โ€ข โ€œShort-strided in frontโ€ โ†’ nearly always a hind-end problem affecting posture

These are posture stories, not conformation verdicts.

If you think something is โ€œjust conformation,โ€
you wonโ€™t try to change it.
Youโ€™ll accept it as permanent.

But when you recognize it as posture,
you realize:

(Yes Iโ€™m picking on my personal horse because I have the good, bad, & ugly with her. She has a laundry list of problems and she takes up most of my camera roll๐Ÿ˜† but you can always see the change in her)

Proper therapy is indispensable for performance horses, crucial for maintaining peak athletic condition, actively preventing injuries, and supporting post-exercise recovery, ultimately extending their competitive careers. These equine athletes face intense physical demands, making them highly susceptible to constant strains, musculoskeletal imbalances, and injury risks like tendon strains and joint inflammation. Targeted therapies such as Acuscope & Myopulse address imbalances, accelerate healing, and restore mobility, preventing compensatory movements, which not only facilitates a safer return to training but also enhances the horse's overall body efficiency, flexibility, strength, and endurance.

Beyond proper therapy, tailored nutrition matched to demanding workloads, fuels their athletic endeavors. Proper conditioning builds strength and resilience, while proactive wellness strategies secure mental and physical well-being. Regular veterinary care, emphasizing prevention and early intervention, safeguards health and prevents setbacks.
