Myofascial Release

[@tillyme1940]

We need more Dr. Jim videos PLEASE ❤

[@connieoneill1063]

Wish I could learn more from this Dr..I watched this around 15 times

[@jeananneblessing2212]

Amazing video. Thank you Scott and Dr. Jim.

[@elliottequinetherapy]

Excellent video. So much info and a real expert talking. Would love to see more!

[@annstewart6979]

So, so so grateful to have seen this video. I wish I could do a course with Dr. Jim. Thank you for sharing. Ann.

[@cynthiadiaczynsky100]

I tried these on my mare last night and her neck popped the whole way down! I know I didn’t do them perfect but it definitely helped her!

[@Mary485]

I wish we knew about these methods when I was younger. Our horses would have been so much happier.

[@wendybrown2701]

Notice each time the Dr. Manipulated the fascia the horse would drop his head , blow, lick and chew, yawn... Very good signs of relief, adrenal release and at the end his head went completely down and the difference in how relaxed he was at stretching downward into his neck muscles. Way Cool 🔥

[@charlottejones367]

Fantastic do you offer training?

[@dtcdtc8328]

No idea how I ended up here , I have no nor had any horses , ever. This is just awesome watching the great beautiful creature get release from pain. I can't be the only one who sees this carrying over to humans, its become , somewhere along the way "Pharmaceuticals first" for humans and animals. Sure , they have a place but good gosh. Look at your dad ,mom or grandparents, how many pills they take a day? When the reality is , nothing was tried prior to " take this pill".. I don't think I articulated my thoughts very well but ,it sure seems to me we have a epidemic of Pharmaceutical abuse and not just the addictive ones.

[@kimberlynads]

This is fantastic information!! Thank you so much! I need to learn more ❤

[@squawstomahawk3826]

I just took on a four year old OTTB that flipped in a wash rack and broke his withers as a two year old with similar issues that were never treated. This video couldn't have come at a better time to help me with ways to make him more comfortable.

[@300tdavis]

I think we can do better by our horses. This is a great example understanding behavior, listening to our horses, and learn to have an educated eye. I also think we can prevent a lot of this by slowing things down when it comes to training young horses. Teach them self carriage on the ground and not back them so young. We now know that the horse’s spine (which is suspended and has no supports except on each end) is the last to develop at the approximate age of eight years. We also know that a three year old horse is like a nine year old child (yrs x3) so we need to think about that when we are working with these young minds. We also know that their mouth is like our hand. They like to put their mouth on things just like a child wants to touch and feel things. And male horses are especially mouthy they are just being like little boys it’s their nature for quite a few years , then it tends to wear off as they mature. Definitely interesting thank you!

[@accaliamirrors4746]

Definitely saw the softness in his eye, WOW

This is fantastic. Thank you for sharing. Thank you Dr Jim.

[@vivianshepard7108]

Thank you Dr. Jim and Pi. Excellent.

[@helenpeart4562]

Love what I saw, and also stressing look at behaviour is normally cause by discomfort. As a Bowen Therpiast this has given me another tool in my toolbox working with horses.

[@GloucesterDowns]

[@heathercollins4432]

Excellent. Thank you , Dr. Jim!!!!

[@elizabethjesse8856]

This is so informative! Great instruction for us regular horse owners. My OTTB has the exact issues as Pi does and I'm looking forward to trying them on him. Thank you!

[@elinesomberg5739]

Did it help?

[@trecianeal]

And watching Pie relax his mouth after Dr Jim started adjusting was fascinating!

[@ChuangJoey]

My horse has exactly the same reaction and impressions as yours. he is nippy and figiting, with tension on the pole, neck wither area! I will try it tonight to see if can help him. Thanks do much for the video

[@randolphbutler1832]

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing. 🐴👍

[@cindysain2199]

How often should you do this with a young horse?

[@annicaasplund106]

Woow, Thank you. Now i now why my horse doesn't get any better. He has his groundproblem in his right hind and he is so tense. I WILL TRY THIS 🙏🍀

[@paulandjessicasmith3242]

Wow, I never knew any of this kind of pain cause/release existed. You've opened my eyes to explore what may be causing gating issues with my big 3yr old filly trotter. THANK YOU DR JIM👍😊

[@christinesibona6553]

Is it a good idea to do all of these exercises to stretch a horse and prevent pain?

[@WadeDog5208]

Thank you for making and posting this video!

[@valeriehudson7276]

Holy Cow what great information . . Thank you for asking the Question What is the origin . . . just by chance I did a stretch on front leg to my guy last week when grooming- - no reason except looking for ROM . . since then he has been more responsive to my requests on ground . .hmm I will do more and do the jar lid too he is very tight on RT hind as well . . Thank you

[@angiecarver3999]

My brood made I purchased recently had an injury to the face/ neck about 6 months before I bought her. She ran into a tree at a run/slip according to her previous owner. She is the most gentle horse but has a complete aversion to turning to the right. I don’t force it, try neck flexion exercises but can tell she’s in pain on that side. I’m being patient and won’t risk doing further damage. She was seen by a vet for treatment after her injury according to the previous owner.

[@ADM-t5c]

What is the tools used by Dr. Jim

[@bobbihill3258]

Where do I find this in Alabama?

What are requirements to give horse massage for pay in California? I am a certified massage therapist ( since 2004 ) for humans, and a tai chi & zhan zhuang qigong practitioner since 1989 which i also provide lessons in. And want to include massaging horses, but unclear what is required to do so and be paid for it. I saw a horse massage course for about $250 ( which is a lot less cost than the human massage programs Ive taken ) but there was no clarification whats required education and certification wise for giving massages as a profession.

[@DavidS-pt7hc]

That was very informative. Is it possible for TMJ stiffness/soreness cause a bitting problem?

[@piccinikki]

Hi! 👋 Long time client of Dr Jim, and trying to carry on his legacy by working on horses for my own clients -- Any of the tension you see could cause a bitting issue. It is all related!

[@V4K4R14N]

I wish I could find more with Dr. Jim. I checked the site that was mentioned throughout this video but that site isn't valid anymore.

[@rankin6491]

The website listed doesn’t seem to be working. Is there a source to find more information from Dr. Jim? As a very visual learner, this was incredibly informative. Thank you for sharing!

[@piccinikki]

Unfortunately, Dr Jim is now mostly retired. He has endorsed me to attempt to carry on his legacy, so I will try to continue making more videos! No one can compare to Jim, but I’ll try my damndest!!

[@arianebegin8668]

​@@piccinikkiplease continue and share videos 😀🙏 thanks!

[@ekaterini001]

The origin must be the riding and saddle or teeth. What to do now, to keep him feeling good?

[@jennifermonk2704]

Hi my friend has a horse that I'd badly head flicking and been diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia. They have suggested it be euthanized as little is know about successful treatment. I just cant let this go and I'm looking for ansers and advice on what to try or do.

[@Maggie19701]

Was wondering if there’s possible toxic release with this. as in humans myofascial release massage can cause severe toxic reaction. You feel like crap sometimes tired for a while maybe less than 20 hours.

[@frantroje3177]

Love this information!

[@katiekayla1]

As he’s talking the horse is biting his belly(in beginning) & mouthing the lead rope. Ulcers ?

[@PersonalTriumph2022]

Did this horse have any other issues like kissing spines ? Or was it just a myofascial issue ? Did he perform better after these treatments ?

[@HMhandmade]

Pi is being a very good boy! The rope nibbling is a way to diffuse excess tension in a socially acceptable way because walking away isn’t an option. His incisors look a bit unusual, does he have any bite or occlusion issues? Just curious, not being judgmental 😊

[@tnmunch]

[@ScottPurdum]

Going great and yes it did!

[@trecianeal]

This was fascinating. I'm wondering how a horse that didn't have structural issues would respond to those tests?

[@equinoyogapilatesmadridval6172]

Just listen to your horse. That is the key to a healthy relationship 💕🦄🙏🏻

[@barbmiracle]

With how he's working his mouth I'm wondering if he needs a hyoid release...

[@lynnstaffileno7022]

Have a horse just like that and did a hyoid release as seen on line and got fantastic results

[@barbmiracle]

That’s excellent!

[@BeaufieldsNZ]

Anyone can get a pen cap and scrape along areas of the horses body while pushing down and any horse is going to flinch and or react, this is not an acceptable reliable method of finding areas of soreness and or tension in the horse's body. A horse can feel a fly land on their body and react/shake it off.

[@nocomment238]

Brilliant 👏 I want to be a student 😀
