Sound and Vibrational Tuning Fork Therapy for Horses
Natascha uses the ‘Body Tuner‘ tuning forks from Biosonics in her bodywork & sound therapy practice with horses and humans. The Biosonics Osteo tuning forks are used on the body to help align one’s physical structure. For example, the Otto Tuner at 128hz, resonates the bones, stimulates the nerves and releases tension from the body. Vibrating down to the bones with deep earth tones, the Otto Tuner brings a sense of deep relaxation and soothing peace. It relieves muscle tension, spasms, pain, and improves circulation by relaxing constricting muscle tissue and causing increased blood flow.
Benefits:
- Deep relaxation and soothing peace
- Relaxes body tissue
- Relieves muscle tension, spasms, and pain
- Improves blood circulation
- Stimulates nerves on the skin and hair
Equine chiropractors and massage therapists find tuning forks very beneficial before adjustments and massage to relax tissue. Tuning fork treatments produce a light massage with gentle vibrations penetrating deeply into the body to release deeper muscles and to help unwind the fascia.
When addressing lameness in a horse is the objective, the tuning forks are used to help release any tightly-bound fascia. Depending on the situation, tuning forks may be all that is needed to resolve the issue. With more involved cases, a tuning fork session can be a helpful preparation for a chiropractic treatment.
Tuning Forks can be used for several types of treatments:
- Any area that is tight, bound, locked, or sore.
- Acupoints to stimulate the Chinese meridian system.
- Anywhere you are drawn to for a feel good massaging treatment.
- As a way to prepare the tissue for a traditional massage session or chiropractic work.
Tuning Forks on Acupressure Points:
Your horse's body can be tuned to achieve optimal physical balance. Tuning fork therapy is a unique, energy-based, non-invasive technique used to alter the body's biochemistry and bring the nervous system, muscle tone and organs into harmonic balance.
Precision calibrated tuning forks are applied to specific acupressure points to access the body's meridian and chakra energy systems. The sound waves of the forks vibrate and travel deeply into the body along the energy pathways, affecting human/equine physiology. The resonance and vibration of the tuning forks connects with the body's natural frequencies, promoting healing, wellness and deep relaxation.
Tuning forks can also be utilized over the body as a form of sound healing. The basic principle of healing with sound is the concept of resonance, meaning the vibratory frequency of an object. The entire Universe is in a state of vibration, and this includes human beings and horses. Every organ, cell, bone, tissue and fluid of the body, including the electromagnetic field which surrounds the body (what is sometimes called the aura), has a healthy vibratory frequency. Depending on what we are resonating with, our vibratory frequencies can become dissonant and out of harmony ("out of tune"), and can contribute to the creation of dis-ease and illness in our body, mind, emotions and spirit.
Through the use of sound we can project the correct resonant frequency toward and into any unhealthy part of ourselves, thus helping to return it to its normal, healthy frequency and promoting healing at all levels. This occurs through sympathetic resonance when one vibrating object influences another vibratory object, causing it to change its vibratory rate.
Acupressure:
Acupressure is a non -invasive technique which doesn't cause stress, discomfort or pain, yet yields powerful results. Animals respond intuitively to Acupressure to heal behavioral and physical illnesses and injuries. Once again especially beneficial to needle shy animals as an alternative to Acupuncture.
Acupressure has been proven to:
- Strengthen muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and bones
- Release natural cortisone to reduce inflammation and swelling
- Resolve injuries more readily by increasing blood flow to remove toxins
- Release endorphins to increase energy and reduce pain
- Decrease recovery time from an injury or illness
- Enhance mental clarity and calm required for focus in training and performance.
