Abstract

Introduction: Horse-assisted systemic interventions refer to a series of approaches and dynamics based on biophysical sciences, quantum physics, neuroscience, equine ethology, epigenetics and systemic movements, which utilize horses. Its effectiveness as a practice based on scientific evidence is still limited and inconclusive despite its use in neurological disorders, post-stress disorders, dysautonomia and psychological imbalances. The aim was to investigate the effects of a systemic intervention on a patient with ischaemic stroke sequelae using the methodology Systemic Movements Assisted with Horses (MSAC®). Methodology: the patient motivated to MSAC® goes through three distinct phases: Phase 1: interview with the facilitator; Phase 2: the facilitator and patient enter the field of the enclosure and Phase 3: the dynamics that precede the movements with the horses and the dynamics of the movements with the horses are carried out. Results: on the same day after MSAC®, the patient, still wearing the naso-oesophageal tube, swallowed liquid without choking and gradually started eating again the following day. Conclusion: through observations of the hidden metaphysical content (unconscious) and the interaction of the assistant with the horses, the effects were revealed, revealing the reason that prevented the patient from changing and raising the frequency to a level of psychic understanding that promotes the harmonization of cells and, consequently, of health.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
