The Art and Science of Equine Shiatsu

A comprehensive, practice guide to Equine Shiatsu, from nose to tail. Equine Shiatsu is a gentle but deeply effective therapy that works with the horse to promote both physical and mental relaxation, which in turn allows the body to heal itself. Based on the concepts of Traditional Oriental Medicine, this book outlines techniques that can be tailored to each individual horse, allowing you to work on your horse or better understand the work of a practitioner. This book includes a thorough explanation of the sophisticated theories behind Equine Shiatsu, Comprehensive guidance to a full body Shiatsu, including simple step-by-step instructions for each technique, How to deal with each horse as an individual, considering different horse behaviours and Examples of tricks of the trade and what to do when things do not go quite to plan. AUTHOR: Liz Eddy has been an Equine Shiatsu practitioner and teacher for over twenty years. She is one of the few Equine Shiatsu teachers who still practise regularly, which allows her to innovate and keep improving both the techniques and the general way of working. She founded and runs the Scottish School of Shiatsu for Horses, which is Europe's leading school in Equine Zen Shiatsu and is also Chairperson of the Equine Shiatsu Association. 175 colour illustrations, 2 diagrams
