DO YOU KNOW HOW TO SPOT COLIC IN HORSES? 🔎

Colic indicates a painful problem in the horse's abdomen (belly), which can be caused by a number of different conditions. Less than 10% of all colic cases are severe enough to require surgery or cause the death of the horse; nevertheless, every case of colic should be taken seriously because it can be difficult to tell the mild ones from the potentially serious ones in the early stages.

Horses show signs of abdominal pain in a wide variety of ways, and usually a horse shows only a few of the signs during an episode of colic. A good rule of thumb: the more obvious the signs of pain, the more serious the problem.

If you suspect the horse is suffering from colic, we suggest that you:

• Alert your veterinarian immediately.

• Remove all hay and grain from the horse's surroundings.

• Don't medicate without your veterinarian's approval, as pain medications can mask clinical signs.

• Walk the horse around if it's continually rolling or in danger of hurting itself, but do not tire the horse with relentless walking. Don't approach the animal if it's not safe.

• Keep the horse under close observation until the signs of colic resolve or the veterinarian arrives.

The key to increasing the chances of a good outcome is to identify the problem early and get your veterinarian involved from the start.

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of colic signs. Horses are individuals and may display signs of pain in a variety of ways. Always consult your horse doctor for more information.

✨ 𝐎𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐛: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐡𝐲, 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐰 & 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 ✨

🕰️ 𝐀 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲
Ozone therapy has been around for well over 100 years.
It was used in medicine as early as the 1900s, including during World War I to help clean wounds and support healing long before many of today’s “modern” therapies existed.
It was really first identified in 1785 by a man named Martin Van Marum.
Christian Friedrich Schönbein formally named and established it as a substance in 1840 and by the late 1800’s it was used as a water disinfectant treatment before rapidly expanding into medicine in WWI

👉 Translation: this isn’t a trend.
It’s a tool that has stood the test of time.

❓ 𝐒𝐨 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐈𝐭 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞?
Not because it stopped working.

• It can’t be patented
• It’s dose and technique dependent
• It doesn’t fit a one size fits all model

Ozone requires understanding the body, proper timing, and intention not just a machine and a protocol.

🔬 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐎𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐃𝐨?
Ozone supports:
🩸 Better oxygen utilization
🌀 Improved circulation
🔥 Inflammatory regulation
⚡ Cellular function

In simple terms it helps the body do what it’s already designed to do: heal.

🔥 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐎𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐛

Most of the horses I work with aren’t just “a little sore.”
They’re dealing with long-standing compensation patterns:
• Tight backs
• Sore SI’s
• Overloaded stifles
• Weak cores
• Poor toplines
• Old injuries that never healed correctly

These horses are stuck. Their bodies don’t have the resources to change the pattern.

Ozone helps shift that cycle by:
• Increasing oxygen delivery
• Improving circulation
• Supporting tissue repair
• Reducing inflammatory load
• Supporting immune function
• Encouraging a parasympathetic (rest-and-heal) response

👉 It creates the environment the body needs to heal so that bodywork, rehab exercises, and strengthening actually work instead of fighting upstream.

🧪 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐎𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐈𝐬 𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐛

Here’s how you’ll most commonly see it integrated:

1️⃣ 𝐎𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐋𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐬 & 𝐇𝐨𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬)

Excellent for:
• White line disease
• Abscesses
• Thrush
• Cellulitis
• Wounds
• Tendon & ligament support

Ozone penetrates tissue, helping clear pathogens and stimulate local healing in a powerful but gentle way.

2️⃣ 𝐎𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 (𝐕𝐞𝐭-𝐀𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝)

Only done by a licensed veterinarian.

This is one of the most effective whole-body applications and is commonly used for:
• Post-surgical recovery
• Chronic or systemic inflammation
• Immune support
• Horses that “crash” under stress

This is often where you see the biggest systemic changes.

3️⃣ 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐬

(Re**al or other routes)

Supports:
• Gut health
• Detoxification
• Metabolic horses
• Ulcers or hindgut sensitivity
• Systemic inflammation

Many “mystery pain” horses are actually inflamed from the inside out this helps break that cycle.

4️⃣ 𝐎𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐎𝐢𝐥𝐬 (𝐓𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥)

Great for:
• Wounds
• Surgical sites
• Skin & fungal issues
• Scars and adhesion prone tissue

Ozonated oils continue working long after the session ends.

⏱️ 𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 (𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐈𝐬 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭)

𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐞?
This is one of the questions I get asked the MOST:
“How often do you use ozone?”

Short answer?
👉 It depends on the horse and the case. Always.

Long answer let’s break it down from a whole-horse, root-cause perspective 👇

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐍𝐎 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐨𝐥.

Frequency is based on:
✔️ The individual horse
✔️ The specific case
✔️ Stage of rehab
✔️ Nervous system tolerance
✔️ Working alongside my veterinarian

Some examples:

• 𝐅𝐢𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬 may only need ozone occasionally or short-term
• 𝐄𝐏𝐌 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 often require much more consistent and intensive support
• 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭-𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬 typically need higher frequency initially
• 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 may need ozone layered in strategically over time

👉 Every horse gets a 𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦, not a cookie-cutter schedule.

This is why I work closely with my veterinarian together we choose the right application, dose, and frequency for that horse and that case.

🧬 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞

This is the piece that often gets missed.

Restricted fascia limits:
• Glide
• Circulation
• Communication between tissues

When oxygen delivery is compromised, healing slows.

Ozone supports tissue health and oxygenation but it works best when paired with:
• Correct movement
• Fascia release
• Muscle retraining
• Posture correction

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.

🐎 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐈 𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐎𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞

Because not every horse needs it.

Some horses need:
• Nervous system regulation first
• Posture correction
• Better movement patterns before stimulation

Ozone is a tool, not a hammer 🔨

❌ Common Myth

“Ozone just masks pain.”

Nope.
Ozone doesn’t numb it supports cellular function.
The goal is better movement and long-term change, not temporary relief.

⏳ Realistic Expectations

• Chronic issues still take time
• Compensation patterns don’t disappear overnight
• Rehab is a process, not an appointment

✨ 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭
Old medicine.
New appreciation.
Used with intention.
Chosen carefully.
For the horse standing in front of me not a protocol on paper.

Forever praying for the day to have the opportunity to work with Dr. Sharp!!

𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙚 𝙬𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙘𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙨 𝙖 𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙨𝙖𝙮𝙨: “my horse stopped working, but I know he doesn’t need vet work because I just got his 6 month maintenance done a couple of months ago…”

And while that is great… that ultimately means nothing, when you’re starting to see signs of pain now.

What do we mean by that?

Just because you had hocks injected a couple of months ago, does not mean they couldn’t have taken a misstep in a run or performance and injured something else…

Just like we can roll an ankle or hurt ourselves at any given time, our horses risk injury every single day. Even in the practice pen.

Sometimes when you quiet down one major issue, you may start to notice others (that were originally masked because the other areas lameness was so severe)

Performance horses… the elite performance horses are a constant work in progress!

Establishing care with an experienced equine veterinarian who specializes in sports medicine can be a major competitive advantage for your horse’s long-term success in the arena—not just a medical formality.

𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙚’𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙮 𝙞𝙩 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙡𝙮 𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨:

• A sports-medicine vet understands the biomechanics of performance, so they don’t just treat injuries, they evaluate how your horse moves, loads joints, and compensates under the specific demands of your discipline.

• They focus on early detection, catching subtle soreness, asymmetries, or performance changes before they turn into career-limiting injuries. (Why having them jogged and flexed regularly is key! This costs you $150 and can save you thousands and give you PEACE OF MIND)

• Treatment plans are individualized, based on your horse’s job, age, workload, and competition schedule—not one-size-fits-all protocols.

• They help you optimize soundness, not just “get by,” using a mix of diagnostics, targeted therapies, conditioning guidance, and recovery strategies.

• Strategic maintenance keeps small issues from becoming big layoffs, which means more consistency, fewer missed runs, and longer careers.

• They collaborate with your farrier, trainer, and rehab professionals to create a team approach, ensuring nothing is working against the horse.

• Decisions are made with longevity in mind, helping you balance peak performance now with preserving joints, soft tissue, and mental soundness for the future.

• When setbacks do occur, a sports-medicine specialist can provide faster, more precise answers and evidence-based rehab plans that safely return the horse to competition.

In short, a sports-medicine veterinarian isn’t just there when something breaks—they’re a partner in your horse’s development, durability, and confidence. In high-level competition, that proactive care can be the difference between a horse that survives the season and one that thrives year after year. 💜🙌🏻

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐰𝐞 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐛𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬?
✨ And why building time is just as important as speed and intensity.

Here’s the truth a lot of people don’t want to hear 👀
Just because your run is 14–17 seconds doesn’t mean that’s all your horse should be prepared to do.

𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐔𝐏 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐃 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠.

We don’t train horses for a single effort. We train their systems:
• Fascia
• Muscles
• Cardiovascular capacity
• Nervous system
• Tendons & ligaments

Those systems require progressive loading over time to adapt and stay sound.

🔹 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞, 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞

One of the biggest mistakes I see is increasing:
❌ time
❌ speed
❌ intensity
…𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞.

Instead, conditioning should look like:
• Increase 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭
• Then layer in 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝
• Then selectively increase 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲

This allows fascia and connective tissue to:
• Hydrate properly
• Remodel under load
• Increase tensile strength
• Reduce injury and compensation patterns

🔹 𝐀 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥-𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬

Cowboys at the NFR don’t train for 8 seconds.

They train:
• Longer
• Harder
• With more intensity

So when it’s time to ride that bull for 8 seconds, their body can:
• Handle the load
• Stay organized under stress
• Push through fatigue

𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐥 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬.

Just because we ask for 14–17 seconds in the arena doesn’t mean:
• Their tissues are conditioned for it
• Their fascia can absorb that force
• Their cardiovascular system can support it repeatedly

🔹 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐦-𝐔𝐩: 𝟏𝟓–𝟐𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬 )𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞)

A proper warm-up is about hydrating and mobilizing fascia, not just “loosening them up.”

During this phase we are:
• Increasing synovial fluid for joint nutrition
• Raising tissue temperature so fascia becomes elastic instead of brittle
• Encouraging blood flow and lymphatic movement
• Allowing the nervous system to organize efficient movement

Walking, bending, long & low, progressive transitions matter here.
👉 Cold fascia resists load and creates restriction patterns.
👉 Cold tissues + sudden work = injury risk.

🔹 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐍𝐎𝐍-𝐧𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞

If a horse has been:
• On stall rest
• Out of consistent work
• Coming back from injury
• Under-conditioned

Their fascia is:
• Less hydrated
• More adhesive
• Less elastic
• Slower to adapt to load

You must gradually build:
• Cardiovascular endurance
• Muscular stamina
• Tendon and ligament tolerance
• Fascial load-bearing capacity

Skipping this phase increases risk of:
⚠️ Compensation patterns
⚠️ Micro-tearing in connective tissue
⚠️ Muscle fatigue that fascia has to absorb
⚠️ Bleeding due to inadequate cardiovascular adaptation

🔹 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞: ~𝟐𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬 )𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐅𝐈𝐓 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞)

A conditioned horse can handle a focused work phase when tissues are prepared.
If you need some exercises, check out my videos on my page for some corrective exercises + how to’s! And if you can’t find them.. reach out to me! I can send them right to you!

This phase should be intentional:
• Slow-twitch muscle work → postural stability & topline (hello cavaletti work)
• Fast-twitch muscle work → power & responsiveness (trotting over cavalettis once your horse masters it at a walk)
• Balanced loading → prevents one fascial line from dominating (going both directions correctly, body work, stretching)

More work is not better, 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫.

If cavalettis are hard for you and your horse at first, reach out to your trusted bodyworker or rehab therapist that integrates cavalettis into their sessions or in their facility to better understand & to troubleshoot!

🔹 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐥-𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧: 𝟏𝟓–𝟐𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬 )𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐛 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧)

Cooling down teaches the body how to recover.

During this phase we are:
• Down-regulating the nervous system
• Supporting venous and lymphatic return
• Preventing fascial guarding and contraction
• Assisting metabolic waste removal

Skipping this leaves tissues dense, tight, and sore.

➕ 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭-𝐑𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐤: 𝟓–𝟏𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬

After untacking:
• Keeps circulation moving
• Prevents lactic acid from stagnating
• Helps tissues normalize before rest

🔹 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲

We don’t train for seconds we train for durability.

Fitness is not about how long you ride.
It’s about how well the body is prepared, conditioned, and supported.

Build the time.
Layer the speed.
Respect the intensity.

If the fascia can’t handle the load,
the rest of the body will pay for it.

Your horse’s body always tells the truth about your program. 🐎✨

𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐯𝐬 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐜 𝐓𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬

Not all pelvic issues look the same… and not all “hind end problems” come from the hind end.

Let’s talk about anterior and posterior pelvic tilts because they matter in rehab and in the arena.

🔹 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐜 𝐓𝐢𝐥𝐭
This is when the pelvis tips forward.

What you may see:
• A hollowed or dropped back
• Difficulty engaging the core
• Hind legs trailing out behind
• Overuse of the lumbar spine
• Tail set often appears higher, with the tail carried up or clamped tightly
• Tension through the psoas, lumbar fascia, and hip flexors

These horses often look “long and strung out.”
They struggle to sit, collect, and truly push from behind no matter how much you ride them forward.

🔹 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐜 𝐓𝐢𝐥𝐭
This is when the pelvis tucks under.

What you may see:
• A rounded or braced topline
• Short, choppy stride behind
• Difficulty extending or opening the hip
• Heavy loading of the hamstrings and glutes
• Tail set often appears lower or tucked, sometimes held tight or crooked
• Reduced range of motion through the sacrum

These horses may look powerful but feel tight, stuck, or restricted especially in turns, stops, or transitions.

🐎 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬
The tail isn’t just decoration.
It’s directly connected to the sacrum and pelvic mechanics.

A high, tight tail or a low, clamped tail can give you clues about:
• Sacral mobility
• Pelvic position
• Fascial tension patterns
• How the horse is compensating

🧠 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐛 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐚
If you don’t correct the pelvic position, you’re just training compensation.

You can:
• Build muscle on a crooked pelvis
• Strengthen the wrong patterns
• Mask pain with conditioning

But eventually, it shows up as:
❌ Poor performance
❌ Inconsistent stops or turns
❌ Refusals to collect
❌ Chronic soreness
❌ Plateaued progress

✨ 𝐑𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐛 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐱𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐦 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞
Pelvic alignment, tail set, fascia chains, and core engagement all work together.

When we address the why, the body can finally move the way it was designed to and performance becomes easier, not harder.

Look at the pelvis.
Watch the tail.
The body is always telling the truth.

01/12/2026

Correct backing helps retrain movement patterns.
It engages the hind end, supports topline development, and restores communication through the fascia chains. Slow, intentional steps matter.

Soulful Sunday ✨

Growth is uncomfortable.
Stretching isn’t easy.
Refinement rarely feels good in the moment.

But comfort doesn’t change us.. it keeps us exactly where we are.

If you feel uneasy, challenged, or stretched right now…
that’s not a sign something is wrong.
It’s often a sign you’re growing.

God doesn’t grow us in comfort. He grows us in the stretching.
Trust the process, even when it’s uncomfortable.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him.” Romans 8:28

Lean in. Growth is happening. 🤍

(Thanks Madison for always being photogenic and letting me get amazing pictures!)
