Spangle

Spangle Report and Exercises Spangle was seen 18/1/23. From walk the gait assessment showed a slight pelvic asymmetry with a right sided pelvic hike/left tuber coxae drop. The quarters were predominantly to the left with head flexion left and barrel swing increased to the right. Audible click with left hindlimb flexion. Left forelimb showed a primary lateral landing pattern. Circling was good both ways and neck bend and spinal lateral flexion was good, good flight, and timing on the turns, placement could be more under the midline. Palpation showed some tight bands in the right masseter with some discomfort on palpation, soon relaxed. Trigger points near facial crest. Even TMJ movement. Shoulder movement restricted slightly bilaterally by ascending slip of deep pectoral which affected retraction. Hindlimb retraction restricted due to lumbar tension and trigger points. Spinal mobility was good albeit restricted by tension and trigger points. K-tape applied to stabilise sacrum while exercises are done. Exercises will be most effective form of release, to include a lot of backing up and work to mobilise the pelvis.
