Full Body Evaluations
When dropping your horse off for a three-day series of treatments you may elect to have a full body evaluation, this consists of watching your horse travel, running our hands over your horse looking for muscles in spasm, heat, or irregularities in the muscle pattern, and following up by taking joint and body readings with the instruments including any abnormalities found during the first two steps.
Why is this such a valuable asset?
1. With preventative maintenance the ATS Therapist can catch and treat issues within the body before it tears or becomes a chronic injury,
2. Compensating issues, when you bring your horse to the vet for a bowed tendon, they are not going to block out that leg looking for secondary issues yet oftentimes the bowed tendon is an overuse issue due to another issue. In order to come back to full use both issues need to be addressed.
3. By performing this evaluation it gives the owner and the ATS therapist a valuable insight as to the condition of the horse presented and when performing step 2 of our treatments….areas of involvement… the ATS therapist can specifically treat all areas involved watching the readings change as the cells of the body begin self-repair.
4. This evaluation can then be taken to your vet for further diagnosis. Though the ATS therapist can find areas of cellular disfunction we will never diagnose the issue, that is your vet’s job. We will work with your vet to find a time line and follow up treatments required to return your horse back to his full potential.

When requesting this option we will need to schedule for a 2 hour appointment

Why the ATS Acuscope/Myopulse Therapist Uses a 3-to-10-Day Treatment Program

When treating with the Acuscope/Myopulse therapy system, the practitioner’s goal is to achieve whole-body homeostasis. This means encouraging cellular self-repair, or returning the body to its undamaged condition at a cellular level. Unlike other modalities that only trick the body into not feeling pain, these Instruments are intended to help resolve the underlying issue.

To understand why treatment is spread out over several days, it helps to look at what is happening at the cellular level.

Cellular Energy and Self-Repair

Every cell in the body depends on electrical/chemical charge in order to function properly. The term for the quantity of electrical charge a cell can maintain is called capacitance. As the general health of a cell improves, its capacitance increases.

It has been demonstrated that areas of the body that manifest pain are often deficient in ATP, which is the molecule that provides energy for cellular activity.

ATP plays a direct and vital role in the “active transport” system known as the Sodium Pump. Active transport refers to the process by which sodium, potassium and calcium (the chemicals of electrical charge) as well as metabolic waste and metabolites are moved across the cell membrane. This movement of substances into and out of the cell requires large amounts of energy.

When a cell does not have enough energy or proper respiration, metabolic waste is not moved out efficiently. Instead, it builds up inside the cell in toxic concentrations.

Waste Removal and Regeneration

Energy is released when ATP breaks down into ADP. This energy fuels the reactions that establish balanced membrane potentials. These same reactions allow vital metabolites to enter the cell while metabolic wastes are pushed out into the general circulation, where they can be detoxified and excreted.

In this way, cells are able to take in nutrients, expel toxins, and begin the process of self-repair. This exchange of nutrients and waste is what allows damaged tissue to be replaced with healthy tissue over time.

The Healing Crisis

For the body to return to good health, it must go through the elimination process described above. There are often ups and downs, and health does not return all at once. This elimination process is called the healing crisis.

A healing crisis is the result of all body systems working together to eliminate waste and prepare for regeneration. Old tissues are replaced with new.

Reactions may be mild or they may be severe. With more serious conditions, there may be several smaller crises before a final one is possible.

Why Treatment Is Spread Over Multiple Days

If a large overall treatment is done all in one day, there is a risk of causing a whole-body healing crisis. If you have ever been extremely sick, you understand why we prefer to go slow. This is why a structured multi-day approach is used.

Treatment Progression
Day One:
We establish a pathway for toxins to exit the body so they do not become congested elsewhere. We also address the primary area of involvement (hocks, knees, etc.) using both the Acuscope and the Myopulse. This may involve waking up old chronic issues slowly, sedating highly inflamed areas, or both if needed. This is followed by trans-cranial treatment to reset the brain and break the pain cycle.
Day Two:
We repeat the work from Day One and also address compensating areas, moving from the shoulders into both front legs.
Day Three:
We repeat Days One and Two and then proceed down the hind end. We reevaluate to see if any additional issues have appeared and reassess the condition of the original area of involvement.

Summary

The Acuscope/Myopulse therapy program is designed to encourage cellular self-repair while avoiding overwhelming the body. By spreading treatment over 3 to 10 days, the practitioner supports detoxification, regeneration, and homeostasis while minimizing the risk of an excessive healing crisis.

ATS Acuscope/Myopulse training with Dr Brianna Barnes and former student Alyson Meuth came for a refresher course. Both ladies brought their own horses so we could look for some issues that have been plaguing them. Today we were looking for original areas of involvement taking readings, watching movements, and feeling for irregularities. We will be addressing these issues over the next few days..love my job!!!

Why proper training matters

The biofeedback capabilities of the ATS Acuscope/Myopulse therapy systems make it the most advanced modalities available yet understanding the full capabilities of these instruments make understanding of how the body heals at a cellular level and how the instruments work in that process absolutly necessary.
Understanding the high/low readings, being able to not only treat using that information and also explaining that to a future clientele is only a part of what you as a student learn during these classes. Using that information allows for proper electrode placements, utilizing the proper frequencies, understanding the disease processes, and being able to monitor the progress through the changing of the readings and the gain.

Since the biofeedback is the most powerful tool in these instruments understanding why using the proper gels, electrodes, calibrations, and staying within the FDA guidlines are crucial in proper training.

All training is performed at www.redhillranchok.com where you are welcome to bring your horse to be used in training. Red Hill Ranch also can provide rooms, extra bording to ride your horses after class with two indoor arenas, and meals can be provided. You are also welcome to bring your LQ and stay on premises.

Important information written up by fellow ATS instructor Molly Wells. When practitioners operate outside our scope of practice there can be consequences. The importance of using the proper calibration, gels, accessories, and training are critical as the Acuscope/Myopulse therapy system are classified as medical instruments..This is a great read into the consequences of not following the manufacturers guidelines

Did you know the ATS Acuscope/Myopulse therapy systems can increase the ATP production by over 500%?

What is ATP production you ask and why is it so important to the healing process?

Just imagine the increased performance you can achieve with these benefits.
ATP—Energy of life
People are consistently absorbing energy from the environment, including light energy and the intake of oxygen, as well as from the food they consume. The body utilizes these outside sources of energy to create its own form of power via the mitochondria of each cell, known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is known as the energy of life or molecular currency, as it is responsible to power the cells. The cells, in turn, generate a measurable level of electrical current that allows all functions and basis of life, including current of injury and regeneration.10,11
The decrease of ATP synthesis
As the cells success, or lack thereof, is dependent on ATP, the reproduction or synthesis of ATP is then crucial for a healthy cell and a healthy body, including skin, muscle tone, repair and regeneration. To a certain degree, one could consider the body’s ability to maintain its youthful integrity completely dependent on the level of ATP that was able to be generated consistently to power the essential cellular functions of life effectively. Some scientists consider the process of aging a slow trauma that consistently puts forth a form of COI or a constant request for more energy to maintain peak performance. This constant request and reaction becomes weaker and weaker as time goes on.12
Stimulating ATP synthesis
Specific artificial sources of energy can also be utilized by the body to create a higher rate of ATP synthesis, including light-activated rejuvenation, microcurrent and oxygen-infusion systems.13 Although it sounds fairly simple, creating reactions within the body is unique to each person, as everyone is very frequency-specific.
Microcurrent and ATP
The body is very sensitive to the level of intensity of outside energy that is being applied. For example, with the use of microcurrent, studies indicate that the most dominant levels of ATP synthesis—300–500% increase in ATP—occurred when using values less than 400 µA, 14,15 which follows the Arnold Shultz law that states small doses stimulate cell activity, larger doses hinder it, and still larger doses destroy it.
Low levels of microcurrent with specific frequencies are very interesting in that the body can actually utilize these small amounts of currents in lieu of its own, allowing for maximum cellular function while simultan¬eously allowing the body to take a breather. Additionally, strategically designed microcurrent devices and accessories allow the practitioner to apply the energy directly to the area where the effect is desired, opposed to relying on the brain to send the appropriate stimulation to the area for regenerative purposes.
Higher levels of µA, on the other hand, simply do not work and actually hinder and diminish ATP synthesis altogether, which, in turn, has an adverse effect on every part of the body and its cellular functions. This occurs as the body perceives higher levels of electrical current as an invader and spends most of its energy, or ATP, defending against the invader.
This is but one of the many benefits of having ATS Acuscope/Myopulse
