Assess horse back soreness and reaction points with Christian Langeder

PLEASE SEE MY WEB SITE FOR DIAGNOSTIC PACK at thoroughperformance.com

My name is Christian Langeder from http://thoroughperformance.com . I am an equine soft tissue therapist specialising in the physical care of performance horses. I have been treating animals since 1999.

I work with horses in all manner of sport including Racing, Eventing, Dressage and Polo. Some of the horses I treat include Cranbourne cup winners Blue Collar Jack and Boom N Zoom, 2011 Perth Cup winner Guestwing, 2010 Mumm Stakes winner Status symbol. In Dressage, Cipriani, Mayfly, Avignon IV and AEA Metallic are among some of the Prix St George horses in my care.

My work is influenced by Bowen therapy (Fascial Kinetics), Emmett (EQUUS Muscle Management), Hatchards Way and my own experience of 13 years, it is based on fascial and muscular manipulation and the nervous system. It is very gentle and non invasive although extremely effective for treating physical soreness or restrictions.

After treating horses for many years I realised that not many owners knew if their horses were sore, they only knew that they felt "off". When speaking to my veterinary colleagues and trainers I found that they also weren't clear on how to simply assess a treatable soft tissue injury or restriction. I would like to share some of these with you in this video series.

In this physical care of performance horses video from thoroughperformance.com I'm demonstrating the eleven reaction points of soreness that I use to assess equine back soreness. I want to share these with you so you have a much better understanding of how your horse feels and what you can do about it. This is all about getting the most out of your performance horse; educating you to get the best performance possible form your animal, and to determine if your horse's health is compromised in any way.
