As a vet physio, I really like the way you have approached Sienna's kissing spine rehab, some great reasoning in your approaches. I particularly like that you -mostly- don't use a roller for your long lining. A recent study by Russell Mcguire has shown rollers without any clearance or padding that lifts them off the spine cause huge pressures directly onto the spine - not ideal for any horse let alone those going through KS rehab. Well done for sharing this video - I wish you all the best in your rehab journey!
Thank you so much for your comment. In the end we weren’t convinced that kissing spine was the problem and still trying to work out what’s going on with her. But all the inhand work has helped.
Vet X-rayed back after some explosive behaviour when ridden. However we injected around the processes with steroid to see if she would improve, this made no difference. So we now believe her kissing spine isn’t the primary problem.

what does it mean roller for your long line?
what a sweetheart of a horse she is..
this is a really nice guide for those of us who have horses with kissing spine. Thank you!
Thank you so much
Love just how you explain the exercises and so on
Thank you ☺️
Thank you for this, some good ideas there to incorporate with my boy. Looking foward to seeing the progression video in a few weeks' time.
Thank you. Yes it’s definitely making me realise there is so much you can do on the ground that can help them.
Just watched this...great , thanks for sharing❤
Thank you ☺️
First time viewer. think ur great. I saw this tube with just normal hot water bottle strung together as warming pads. I thought that was champ.
Thank you! ☺️
Yes someone else also mentioned hot water bottle which is a good idea.
Thank you 😊 could you do a short on how to position yourself and hand for neck stretch ? 👍
Yes, will try and remember to add that into the next rehab update. Though not sure if I’m correct or not. But seems to work! 😂🙈
I feel like her eyes are a lot softer since starting this rehab x
She does seem to really be enjoying all this stretching work.
Hi Sienna does look better. Exercise's I have heard is good for this are reversing up bank and lunging on a bank side. xxx
Thank you, really good idea on rein back up hill/bank as well as lunging. Will definitely try that.
How did you arrive at diagnosis?

@@EJMEQUESTRIAN Thank you. That’s very helpful!
My horse would benefit from exercises like these. He has a suspected sacroiliac issue. Don't worry, I won't take it as gospel.
Sorry to hear your chap a suspected SI issues. These exercises have definitely helped Sienna with hers.
