In the year 2012 I had the once in a lifetime opportunity to shadow Kerry Ridgway, DVM in his practice in Aiken, SC. Kerry was an equine veterinarian with all of his heart, he had dedicated his life to the wellbeing of horses. Whoever is familiar with endurance riding has maybe heard of the “Ridgway Protocol” which is the basis for judging if the horses are still fit to compete at the vet checks in a competition. 

Later in life Kerry turned to the field of acupuncture and found a number of myofascial release points that are a valuable tool to reduce the risk of tendon, ligament and joint injuries as well as for more suppleness and consequential training success. Since Kerry unfortunately passed away early in 2016 and according to him no one else had ever studied with him that intensive, I have now – with the kind help of his wife Christine – taken on the task to pass on the knowledge I gained from him and especially the location and action of those points he had found.
