Horse Hyoid Release: TMJ Pain (2020)

As of January 1st, 2020 we have changed our name to The Equine Institute! We offer all the same great courses and resources, just a new simpler name. Learn more at our new website www.equineinstitute.org
Ever wondered why your horse has shoulder stiffness, can't easily bend in one direction, resists getting on the bit, or has saddle fit and lameness type issues that can't seem to be resolved? The hyoid, a structure inside the jaw, may be part of the problem. Check out our latest video to learn more about the hyoid, how to test if it's bugging your horse, and an easy technique to do at home to provide relief.

I have been doing some releases on a horse that often has his tongue hanging out one side of his mouth. I am thinking he has hyoid/TMJ issues. This video will be very helpful to me.

great video.. i'll have to do this with my mare she has TMJ disorder and i'm sure much more..

[@Equi-libriuminstitute]

Thanks! Yes I have found working on the hyoid can dramatically change a horse's body. Best wishes for your mare!

Sometimes it's not that they "want to eat grass" - if they are releasing, it may be that they are "grounding" the released energy - they may rub their nose on the ground to ground out (think electricity) the released energy...
