This must be one of the most frustrating phases that gets used as people can take it literally, then you get the eye rolling folk saying no the pelvis is hard to move, your horses pelvis can't be out, which is sort of true .
If you suspect your horse’s pelvis is out as in out of place or dislocated, please call a vet very urgently. It is also highly unlikely that your horse’s pelvis has popped to the shops and forgotten the rest of the body. The phase merely tends to be shortened from “out of alignment” or misaligned. That is that muscular tension has pulled the pelvis out of the symmetry that would best allow the body to function at its best. McTimoney adjustments create a recoiling effect in the muscles causing the muscle to contract and release tension. The pelvis is used to transfer the momentum from my hands through the pelvis to the associated muscles. No pelvises have been moved in or out of joint but muscular tension has been
resolved to stop the pelvis from being rotated (one side dropped down lower) or tilted (one side further forwards than the other).
Horses will rarely be perfectly symmetrical and will tend to favour one side, just like we will favour being right or left-handed and just like we may have a bigger foot or a slightly longer leg on one side. This will affect biomechanical forces through the body which can cause muscular tension to develop in certain areas which in turn can cause misalignments.
I hope this helps clarify this one :-)
