Supplementary anatomy education programs with real horse bones are available at the request of the guardian. These programs are pay-what-you-can (suggested: $50 in addition to session fee) and correlate to the specific goals of each session of the EFIT series. These programs aim to empower equine guardians with a hands-on approach to osteology education, and an open dialogue.
Session 0: Comprehensive history of horse including medical, emotional, nutritional, equipment, training and conditioning history reviewed and discussed. Diagnostic imaging and veterinary reports, and notes from non-vet professionals reviewed and discussed. Comprehensive movement evaluation, range of motion and palpation testing, EFIT session work, progress videos, and session notes are included with all EFIT sessions
Session 1: Superficial session begins the process of Structural Integration by addressing the tissues of the skin and the large fascial sheets covering the body.
Session 2: A session of differentiating the muscle bodies, joint spaces, and tendons of the pelvic girdle, thoracic sling, and distal limbs.
Session 3: A session of differentiating the large oblique sheets of muscles and fascia that involve the ribs, the spine, and the head.
Session 4: A deep session of addressing core constrictions - old patterns of compensation, focused scar work, specific rotations or shifts that are unique to the individual
Session 5: A deep session of addressing specific imbalances - continuing to address old patterns of compensation and scars, addressing new compensation that are developing alongside the changed relationship with gravity, and further reorganization of specific rotations or shifts
Session 6: A deep session of integration - reuniting the parts into a whole functioning unit. Deepening the body’s understanding of how to interact with gravity in more sustainable and efficient ways.
Session timing is unique to the individual - the full series can take anywhere from 3 months to a full year to move through. Schedule a consultation for more information about session timing.
