Myofascial Kinetic Lines: from a Training & Rehabilitation Perspective with Dr. Rikke Schultz The fascinating 3D fascia provides support and participates in the biomechanics of the body. General information about fascia such as morphology, embryology, function, elasticity, contraction and scaring will be given as well as a 3D understanding of the fascia network. The 11 Myofascial Kinetic Lines describe the motion of the spine, the front limbs and the relationship between the viscera and the somatic body. The anatomy and function of each line will be covered as well as challenges in riding when the horse has static contractions in the lines often causing reduced ability to perform.
Centaur Biomechanics was found in 2006 by Dr. Russell MacKechnie-Guire who graduated from Warwickshire College in 2006 with a BSc (Hons) in Equine and Human Sports Science and now holds a PhD in Equine Biomechanics graduating from the Royal Veterinary College in 2019. Russell’s thesis was titled ‘The Relationship between Saddle and Rider Kinematics, Equine Locomotion, and Thoracolumbar Pressures in Sports Horses’.
