Shoulder STaR

Duration
46 min
Session protocol
ONE SHOULDER PER treatment - all four electrodes stay on the affected side. Genuine bilateral cases are two treatments.

When to reach for it

shoulder soreness, shortened front-leg stride, usually one-sided

About this program

A horse has no collarbone: the entire front end hangs in a sling of muscle. That gives the shoulder its huge stride — and means every problem there is a muscle-and-motion problem, usually on one side only.

Consider this program when:

  • the stride of one front leg has shortened
  • soreness follows a slip or an awkward jump
  • the shoulder muscles hold tension under saddle work
  • an older horse is losing freedom in the front end

One shoulder per treatment — the affected side only; a genuine both-sides case is two runs.
