In “The CHI Palm Performance Horse Solution,” David Donathan offers a revolutionary approach to the well-being of performance horses, harnessing the power of the CHI Palm device. Recognizing the intense demands placed on these magnificent animals, Donathan delves into the intricate world of equine myofascial health. Performance horses, though bred for agility and strength, often suffer due to the unnatural stresses of rigorous training and performance, leading to a condition Donathan terms ‘too sore to touch.’ This sensitivity arises from the tightening of the horse’s myofascial or connective tissue, a critical component of their musculoskeletal system that, when stressed, loses flexibility and forms painful knots.

Donathan’s book is a deep dive into the science of myofascial tissues—the web-like layers that envelop the horse’s muscles, consisting of collagen, elastin, and a gel complex. He explains how these layers, when damaged or stressed, can lead to restricted movement and diminished performance, as the fascia reorganizes itself to protect the horse from further trauma, resulting in stiffness and pain.

This innovative approach not only alleviates physical symptoms but also promotes a deeper connection between the horse and its handler, tapping into the life force energy, Chi, to foster a state of balance and well-being. “The CHI Palm Performance Horse Solution” is not just a book; it’s a testament to the transformative power of combining traditional wisdom with modern technology for the health and happiness of performance horses.
