HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL MY HORSE NEED?

Several factors determine the number and frequency of adjustments required to correct a problem.  Your horse's age and physical condition are important:  young healthy horses will generally require fewer adjustments than older horses or those with serious health problems.  The severity of the problem is another major factor:  if permanent damage has occurred, a return to full flexibility may not be possible and multiple adjustments may be necessary to achieve the most flexibility possible.  The length of time the problem has been present is also a factor:  long-standing or chronic problems frequently require more adjustments to correct than do acute problems.


Many horses will show immediate improvement, but be aware that sometimes there is a 24-48 hour period of tiredness after an adjustment.
