Here is what folks have to say about these easy to use and VERY EFFECTIVE techniques-

excerpt from email from equine rescue facility

Hi Tracy,
"We are having GREAT results. I will be getting you some before and
after shots, soon! Sam's pelvic alignment is so much better and you
were exactly right that his skin hurt. He is now almost looking for
touch! This is a totally new development and we've waited 8 months for
it! He doesn't wince away when I touch his forehead and he will let
more than 1 person stand next to him without wanting to head for the
next county. Yesterday 2 people came up to watch what I was doing and
he actually sniffed them. Sounds small, but it is huge for Sam.

Where a Light Touch makes all the Difference...

Hi Tracy,

I've tried the techniques on a few more horses now and seem to be getting good releases, and I did some work on my dog's hind leg which he wasnt using well and the muscles were starting to atrophy, and he would only turn one way by choice. the next day he is weight bearing much more, and has even more energy than usual, and was doing circles in the dircetion he never goes!

So thanks again for sharing your knowledge!

Kind Regards,
Jodie
