Therapists

Teri Capaldi has been involved with horses for over 30 years. Her specialty is breeding and showing cutting horses. She is a native Californian and works in both the Los Angeles and Paso Robles areas.

The following cases reflect Teri’s results using the Acuscope and Myopulse.

1) Van Snow, D.V.M., of Santa Ynez, California, diagnosed Spooky’s Smarty Pants, a cutting horse futurity prospect, as having pulled the suspensories in both a front and rear leg just weeks before the futurity. The mare was treated using the Acuscope and Myopulse at the suspensories, as well as at points for overall well-being. The mare won Open Reserve Champion at the Fort Worth NCHA Cutting Futurity out of over 600 horses, earning a check for over $140,000.

2) A three-year-old gelding owned by Jack Elliott of the Atwood Ranch in northern California came up sore in the hind-end at the Mid-State Futurity in Paso Robles, California. The gelding was treated with the Acuscope and Myopulse and made it to the final round. There, they tied for 1st place and won the cut-off, winning the Non-Pro division.

Avis Bell has also been involved with horses for over 30 years. Avis’s specialty is in barrel racing and Western performance. Avis competed on a colt at the NBHA Minnesota state finals in barrel racing and after being seeded 18th took third place in the fourth division championship. She also participated in the World NBHA championships in Augusta, Georgia.

Avis currently owns Animal Alternatives in Minnesota and has had horses flown in from all over the country to receive Acuscope and Myopulse treatments.

The following cases reflect Avis’s results using the Acuscope and Myopulse.

1) Vince, a barrel racing and roping horse, slipped on the ice and broke a bone in the ileum, or pelvic area. Veterinarian Tom Prieve, D.V.M., suggested the horse be put down due to this extreme injury. After six treatments, Dr. Prieve was amazed with the results and stated, “Whatever Avis is doing, have her keep doing it.” Two and a half months later, Vince, feeling the effects of Acuscope and Myopulse therapy, broke free and ran bucking and kicking down the alleyway, to the surprise of his owners.

2) Bugsey, a 22-year-old barrel racing horse that had performed all over the continental United States and consistently placed at the top, was injured in competition. The diagnosis: “He would remain crippled for the rest of his life.” Due to his age, arthritis, and this new injury, the veterinarian’s comment was, “He really has no purpose left.” He suggested retirement in pasture. Bugsey had six treatments on his right shoulder using the Acuscope and Myopulse and has been sound ever since. Avis competed on Bugsey throughout 2002. Avis said, “Whenever old Bugsey keeps the barrels up, we are always in the money, even at the ripe old age of 23.”

Case Study Photos

Photo on left showing initial, fresh wound on horse. Mare could barely drag her leg to get into the barn. After one treatment, improvement as seen in the middle photo. This mare received only three treatments, a week and a half later, it appeared like there was a scratch on it, she was back to roping.

Above photo on the left shows a huge open wound on a 3 year old mare's chest/shoulder area. Wound is one day old before treatment. Photo on the right side was shot after ONE Electro-Acuscope and Myopluse therapy treatment.

Above show "before and after" photos a 6 year old Gelding with a two year old knee injury. "Before photo" on left side, Vet diagnosed as open joint, would not heal.

Testimonial "I have been involved with the Acuscope and Myopulse for over 20 years for use in chronic pain for injuries on horses in the Equine Industry and am also a licensed esthetician and use it in the beauty care industry as well. I have been trained by several other distributors over the past 20 years. I learned more in one week training at Thorp Institute than I did from all the combined trainings I had received from the all the other distributors and in all the other fields that the instruments can be used in. If you’re going to get trained get trained once and by someone that really knows what they are doing. John Thorp and The Thorp Institute trainers really know what they are doing. I highly recommend the Thorp certification and the use of their Electro-toxicology® protocols" Don Hoffman, Equine Stud Farm Manager, 2009
