A Research Review - Back Lifts by Dr Gillian Tabor

Gillian discusses the effects of a technique commonly applied to horses to lift and round their backs. This movement is often used as part of therapy treatments and prescribed to owners to repeat with their horses on a regular basis. Whilst it is possible to see the ‘lift’ and flexion of the back, this paper evidences the effect on the vertebrae and discusses their effect in horses diagnosed with kissing spines

In this podcast Dr Gillian Tabor reviews the research paper:

Paper: O’Sullivan, S., McGowan, C.M., Junnila, J. and Hyytiäinen, H.K., 2022. The effect of manually facilitated flexion of the thoracic spine on the interspinous space among horses with impinging dorsal spinous processes of the thoracic vertebrae. The Veterinary Journal, 289, p.105909.
