About Kelly Simpson

Kelly Simpson BA(Hons) BHSII What is ‘Equine Touch’? Definition: “The Equine Touch is gentle, body-based modality, non-invasively addressing the connective tissue such as fascia, muscles, tendons and ligaments.” The tissue is mobilized and "stimulated" by using a specific move, or series of moves, over precise points of the horse's body. These could be acupuncture points, trigger points or sites of common injuries.

Kelly Simpson BA(Hons) BHSII What is ‘McTimoney-Corley’? Definition: “McTimoney-Corley therapy is a gentle spinal manipulation technique to bring the horse's body back into alignment and relieve any associated pain or discomfort. Used very successfully for many years to treat human conditions such as back, neck and joint pain, stiffness in limbs and restricted movement, the McTimoney-Corley technique has now been adapted very successfully to treat animals.” Typically used in conjunction with massage, stretching and exercise, McTimoney-Corley therapy is beneficial to horses of all ages and performance levels. It is also beneficial to use the treatment as regular "maintenance" to keep your horse in peak physical condition. The treatment can improve joint and muscle function and allow the nervous system to function correctly.
