Martine Groeneveld
Martine Groeneveld is an equine osteopath with a special focus on the intricate relationship between equine dental health and the overall well-being and optimal functioning of horses.
Soon after graduating from equine osteopathy school, she started studying equine dentistry to get a deeper understanding of how dental health impacts the body’s biomechanics and neurological pathways.
Through her studies in both osteopathy and dentistry, she realized that the incisors and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are a crucial link in achieving and maintaining overall health and optimal performance of every horse. Her aim is to gather data on the connections between the teeth, body and hooves through ongoing research.

Incisor guidance for optimal biomechanics and neural regulation
Practical implications for movement, balance and neural stimulation
Incisor guidance plays a pivotal guidance in equine biomechanics, influencing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function, postural alignment and neural regulation.
Incisor pathologies and subtle imbalances affect not only mastication, but also proprioceptive and vestibular input, balance and overall movement efficiency. This presentation explores the link between incisors, TMJ mechanics, neuromuscular pathways and postural alignment.
