Apex Restore Method
Peeling through your horse's 'layers' is a process that takes time. Usually, muscular and soft tissue pain is something they've been experiencing months & even years.
By following this 4 step method, we are able to peel through long-term, accumulated tension faster and restore your horse to free motion much quicker.
Release
The first step to free movement is releasing pain, tension & restrictions in your horse through massage
& integrated
bodywork therapies.
Rebalance
Once your horse's body is released, we work towards rebalancing them with specific exercises to strengthen their
deep balance &
postural muscles.
Rebuild
After your horse's body is released and rebalanced, we add additional exercises to rebuild their large gymnastic muscles that provide big,
dynamic movement.
Restore
By releasing restrictions, rebalancing the deep muscles and rebuilding the gymnastic muscles, we restore the horse to it's natural posture, pain free motion, and
peak performance.
