Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The horse stance positions the therapist stands with their feet approximately shoulder width apart and knees slightly flexed. The movement allows the therapist to lean forward and backward safely in order to apply a variety of strokes such as grasping, lifting, rolling, and compressing. The therapist shifts their weight anterior to move forward and then posterior to move backward. This creates a rocking movement in the stance that allows the therapist's body weight to lift up tissue or lean into tissue to compress it.
