Horse and human treatments

Traditional Chinese Medicine works on the theory that there is a flow of energy or Chi that flows through twelve main courses or meridians along the body.

This energy composes negative or yin components and positive or yang components. When the body is in harmony there is a balance between the positive and negative or the yin and yang.

Injury and disease upsets the harmonious balance between the two, healing and repair will be accelerated if the balance can be re-established. Selected acupuncture points along the meridians can be stimulated to restore the normal energy flow and so regulate bodily functions.


Because the traditional chinese medicine approach is different but in no way antagonistic to the western approach to treatment, a well planned combination of the two therapies compliment each other and provide a powerful treatment to bring horses back to full health.

I completed an intensive training in traditional Chinese medicine and Acupuncture at the end of 2001. Being aware of the regulations regarding acupuncture of animals I have found I achieve similar results with the use of laser or electrical stimulation.  

Currently I have been working mainly on treatment of musculoskeletal problems as a follow up to the initial work I do in release of muscle spasm. However this is an area in which I would like to do more work with veterinary practices in conjunction with conventional treatments.
