On Thursday Peggy's Thoroughbred had his second chiropractic evaluation and treatment. He had retained the improvements that he gained immediately after the last session. He was more flexible on both sides, and didn't drag his feet anymore. Peggy had ridden him a couple of times, but had noticed that his girth didn't seem to fit anymore, so she had gotten him a new one.
The second treatment was just as fascinating as the first. There was a lot less introductory time, as it was apparent that the horse remembered Dr. Stacy fondly. He knew what to expect this time, and was much less surprised by the neck adjustments. He evidently realized that this whole business led to feeling better, and he leaned into Stacy's treatments and helped her find just the right angle of thrust for the adjustments.
It's funny that we get used to our bodies being a certain way, holding ourselves up and moving ourselves around. We get more static and lose flexibility as we get older, both physically and mentally.And yet the underlying fluidity and grace are there all along, waiting to be allowed to express themselves.
