Equine Touch was developed by trainer Jock Ruddock in 1997. He transposed moves from human to horse. Later however, after he was joined by his wife and veterinary surgeon Ivana, he studied and researched the mechanics of the animal as well as the energy patterns and the emotional armor of the equine to where Equine Touch is now recognize as a modality in its own right.

What is it?

Equine Touch is a gentle hands-on energy release modality that is non-diagnostic and non-invasive. When gentle moves using finger and thumb are performed in a prescribed manner, these energy-releasing moves stretch and gently manipulate the tissues assisting the horse to relax, realign and naturally rebalance. These moves also assist detoxification and the lymphatic drainage.

How does it work?

Equine Touch works by sending signals to the brain to initate the healing process. When these gentle moves are performed on soft tissue, this stimulates the energy flow enabling the body's own resources to heal itself. The signals are sent via specialised nerve cells found in the fascia of the muscle. Fascia is a membrane that covers every organ, blood vessel, nerve, muscle and every bone. Fascia is found between the bones, ligaments etc. and the blood & lymph etc. Because the facsia is continuous through the whole body it works like a network. The fascia should be loose and elastic however when the muscles are tense and it becomes rigid. It is often thought with injuries that the pain is due to the muscles being tense but often it is the fascia covering the muscles which has become rigid and causing the pain. Equine Touch through these energy-releasing moves gently manipulates these issues assisting the horse to relax, realign and naturally rebalance. These moves also assist detoxification and the lymphatic drainage.

This modality can be equally as effective on any animal suffering from pain and imbalance in the body.
