Birth Trauma Release

Birth Trauma Release is something that is not focused on enough and starts foals unbalanced, dealing with restricted fascia and compressed nerves and can affect the entire musculoskeletal system in adult horses. Birth trauma often occurs because of the enormous pressure exerted upon the foal as it passes through the birth canal, not to mention the position they are in, in the womb. At times, during a difficult birth, foals can be born with fractured or broken ribs, spinal issues, neurological issues and meconium impaction. In premature foals, incomplete ossification of the cuboidal bones and weaken legs are a big issue that can be addressed in multiple ways.

Wholehearted Harmony takes much pride in being able to offer gentle and effective therapies to help baby by removing restrictions and supporting the body during these times. It is recommended to have birth trauma release as soon as possible, at least within the first month of baby entering the world. As a baby gets older different bodywork modalities can be introduced. Some session may need to be repeated every few weeks, especially if taping legs are involved. If you have a foal or young horse that has never had birth trauma release, contact Wholehearted Harmony. This process makes a foal growth much more balanced and makes training when the age is near, much easier on both horse and owner.
