Months later my trainer ended up having a lady out doing CST for several of her horses and after a few sessions I have to say I totally think it can do wonders for some. Not the end-all-be-all of course, but needless to say I'm more open to giving things a chance and if I ever get the opportunity I do want to try CST haha!Liminal Lizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05508228648928455084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-12204332776084453172019-03-04T20:21:40.444-08:002019-03-04T20:21:40.444-08:00Super interesting!

The horses do seem to enjoy it, but like you, I'm curious if it does anything beyond that. <br />I was also curious about the Arc Equine, as it's supposed to do something similar with the cells and is a whole lot more affordable. I can't seem to find anyone who's tried it though. Also not sure if it's really whole body... Lots of questions. I tried crowd sourcing but all I got in return was people offering their magna wave servies or telling me to buy the $3000 Bemer blanket. Lol.

I know when I had PT on my stubborn right psoa, the therapist "stimulated" the psoa (by pushing on it painfully, holy crap) while I moved it. That did actually cause my body to remember that muscle existed and activate it on its own. I can totally see that working for horses. In fact, I even used to poke Pig in the part of his neck he wasn't using effectively to remind him about it.

Honestly, I never saw a difference in him after sessions, and nothing changed once I discontinued (due to $$$), BUT I also never saw a difference in him after chiro either, so I think P is just sort of a weirdo.<br /><br />My husband hurt his back at work and my friend did a bunch of PEMF sessions on him daily for a couple weeks and Matt LOVED it.
