Conquering Glute Pain

from Starline Equine Bodywork · host Judith Rathbone

In this episode, we explore one of the most common yet often overlooked patterns in equine performance: gluteus medius dysfunction and its deep connection to recurring lumbar pain. As training intensity increases (whether with young horses building new skills or seasoned ones facing greater demands) this powerful hindquarter muscle can become the weak link, creating a cascade of compensations that affect propulsion, back lift, and overall fluidity.We gently unpack the fascinating interplay of anatomy, fascia, and compensatory patterns involving the psoas, hamstrings, SI region, and rib cage. You’ll come away with fresh eyes for those subtle signs you may already be noticing in your horses, along with hope and practical direction for lasting change. If you’re ready for a true transformation in how your horse moves and feels, this conversation offers clear insights you can begin applying right away.Links Related To This Episode:Tackling Lumbar Pain In Horses Connect with us:Instagram - @starlineequinebodywork Pinterest - https://pin.it/7kvSCptWebsite - starlinebodywork.comDISCLAIMER:The ideas expressed in this podcast are opinions only, and are not substitutes for proper veterinary care, veterinary medicine and other forms of bodywork.
