McTimoney-Corley Spinal Therapy is a full body treatment, where subluxations or malfunctions of the spine and associated joints may be evident through degrees of lameness when working or walking/trotting up, through mechanical movement, palpation or observation of nerve irritation during the treatment.
These subluxations are then corrected through extremely gentle and effective manipulative techniques using the hands. By coaxing the bones back into position, soft tissue is also released, and the proper functioning of the nervous and endocrine systems resumes, restoring the bodies natural capability to self-heal.
The treatment also incorporates massage to relieve tension that may have developed as a direct or indirect result of the subluxation, and is generally a pleasurable and relaxing experience for the horse. As a guide, the full treatment will usually last from 40 minutes to 1 hour, however this may vary depending on the problems identified.
