Method of work Techniques for horse and rider

Here at Equine Body Balance we use a modality we call STAR which is formally know as Somatic Trauma Action Release.   STAR  is a  hands on modality  which recognizes and works with muscle tension, stress, and structural misalignment.  STAR is a safe method of working with humans as well as animals.  Working in a gentle non-invasive fashion STAR is able to assist with structural correction.  All muscle areas are addressed and each stress point is treated individually. Many of the horse's systems (e.g., nervous, respiratory, circulatory and lymphatic systems) can become more efficient simply through the therapist's use of pressure points, manipulations, and massage. 

Structural alignment along with reduction of muscular tension creates better balance in the horse which helps to reduce future incidents of injury and pain. "STAR" permits  the therapist to focus on multiple muscle areas of the horse at one time helping  restored skeletal and muscular balance from "head to tail".
