Ellie

Ellie 6/01/24 Ellie was seen for physiotherapy on following a fall on the yard a few weeks prior. Ellies posture is starting to lose core engagement and is showing signs of tension when ridden. Lack of muscle and topline which owner wishes to improve. Palpation – Very reactive around TMJ bilaterally, but Supra-orbital fat pad displaces more evenly than previously seen. Focus today is core strength. Serratus ventralis showing tension drawing shoulders towards to the body on the right and left sides – stretched out, better in laterally placed forelimb protraction. Spinal range of motion reduced in dorsi-flexion – improved following treatment and k-tape. Increased tension in thoracolumbar fascia RHS. Hypotonic epaxials (more right side weakness) and gluteals, hamstrings hypotrophic. []Exercises [] [] [][] [][]
