Delia gets adjusted

Delia got her visit from Green Haven Therapy today, and it was pretty much as I called it. Her neck was out, at the axis and C1. Of course, there are connected issues to that, with her teeth needing doing and tightness in her jaw, also tight neck muscles and several other places.
Check out that lip.... Melissa hit the spot!

Throughout all the poking and prodding, Delia was really well behaved, never once offered any cranky behaviour- she was a lady. This video shows Mel trying to get her neck adjusted- she did finally get it a little later.



When we tried the upward stretch, she couldn't lift her head very high, and was limited side to side. Also when she yawned when she got release, at first she couldn't open her mouth very wide. By the end of the session, it was about an inch or two wider.
Next week we will have a follow up session. We are getting rain today and tomorrow, so once it dries up again I'll turn them out again and see if she still drops her head to see- I think she will behave much more normally. There was a lot of licking and chewing and yawning at the end of this session, so I think she is feeling much better.

That should make a difference to her - it'll be interesting to see how she does now.

Glad she had a good adjustment - it sure does a world of help. Excited to see her progress with riding, plus massage, plus a dentist! She will be excelling in no time!
