WH154 | Treating horses in the direction of ease with Equine Osteopath Allie Plaschka
Episode 154
Saturday, 5 September, 2026
If you love geeky deep dives into equine therapy, phsyiology and anatomy, this is an episode for you! Allie Plaschka and I are back together to share about our upcoming collaborative workshop (Sept 19-20) and to unpack our main course topic, what it means to treat horses "into the ease." We break down what into the ease actually means, what distinguishes this way of treating from more direct myofascial, ostearticalar or massage techniques, when treating in the direction of ease is helpful or not, how it can be used to support vitality and nervous system re-balancing and why it is often the treatment of choice for shut down, resistant, and/or anxious horses. We also discuss how we use this same concept with horse owners to support receptivity and change and stay in a space of connection. If you're an equine and/or human manual therapist or osteopathic practitioners, this chat is definitely worth a listen - there are some gems in here! If you're interested in our course Deep Listening: Dialoguing with the tissues, the fluids and the horse, happening here on Raven Moon Farm (Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island))) on September 19-20th email Alexa or head here for all the details: https://outsidetheboxequine.com/workshop-with-allie-plaschka/ Allie is an equine and canine osteopath based out of Enderby, BC, Canada.
