KISSING SPINES - Don't worry, there is a way out of it ♥️
🔹 Do you have a horse that has been diagnosed with kissing spines?
🔹 Or do you suspect that your horse may have kissing spines?
Don't worry, we can help🐴😃
We have now completed our study with horses that have received the diagnoses of kissing spines via X-ray and can happily inform you that it has been a very good result .👏
Based on the experience we have gained, kissing spine is most likely a symptom of a crooked, overturned and/or sunken thoracic sling, which results in the horse compensating in the rest of the body. It is therefore important to correct the thoracic sling first.
With the help of all the tools we have, it is possible to correct the thoracic sling and then have the rest of the body relaxed and straightened. The horses body need to be treated as a whole, otherwise it will unfortunately just fall back just as quickly.
In order to get the best result, our course with test horses showed that 4-5 treatments are needed over a period of approx. two months. The horses should preferably have treatments at 7-14 days intervals, to avoid that what has been corrected falls back.
In addition, it is important that the horses proprio is strengthened at the same time. When we have finished the treatment course, you should expect rehabilitation of the back and shoulders as well as proprio, which we can of course help with, via suggestions for training.
When the horse is loosened and straightened up completely, you have a good basis for getting the horse properly trained and strengthened. Our test horses all showed significant improvement after our treatments. Most of the test horses were not ridden before the treatment course, due to the kissing spines, but now work fine under a rider. They’ve all shown significant improvement in their movement, physique and mental state.
It is always a really good idea to have your horse checked for problems with the thoracic sling, as it can lead to e.g. back problems such as kissing spines.
Prevention often reduces bigger problems in the long run.
