How important are the final steps in Energy balancing and muscle therapy? Our discussion in this issue is on the importance of the closing of the treatment Stretches complete the closing phase of the muscle therapy and electrical systems in the treatment session. I

session. The closing phase of the acupressure treatment, has two purposes: it connects the energy flow between the points on the same meridians stimulated and re-establishes the cellular memory pattern. By connecting the energy flow we are re-establishing a balanced

increasing muscle and soft tissue suppleness, range of motion, and promote overall flexibility, thus improving performance and stamina. E quine Stretches are performed on both sides of the horse. Stretches used on the foreleg are: Triceps Muscle, Shoulder extension, Shoulder Flexion, Shoulder Rotation and a Heel stretch; the Back leg: Buttocks, Hip Flexion/ Stifle and Rear Leg dance. For the neck stretch we ask the owner to participate, using a treat we ask the horse to bring the head around to their

researched the secret life of muscle cells and their activity and we are making changes on the cell level of muscles by manipulation to stimulate electrical energy at the cell level. Stretches reinforce the new positive changes in the cells and connects the energy flow on a cell level. They also reinforce the treatment by enhancing the energy flow,

energy flow of meridian system. Cellular memory is the cell’s learned response to a chronic stimulus pain. The closing phase replaces the cell’s previously negative learned response with a positive response.
