Equine Physiotherapy
Regardless if your horse is young or old, an athlete or companion, injured or healthy, physiotherapy can benefit ALL.
No horse has perfect conformation thus just like humans, horses will experience day-to-day aches and pains from going about their normal activities. Due to being ridden horses will also experience back pain at some point thus it is best to keep on top of this.
Even if your horse is not ridden and is retired or a field companion, like many horses they like to throw shapes in the field which can sometimes lead to minor tweaks that if not treated may cause pain further down the line.
Common signs your horse may need Physiotherapy?
-
Changes in behaviour - Increased aggression when: handling, increasing pace in hand, asking to back up, grooming, etc.
-
Moving away from tack, biting with girth.
-
Struggling with current exercise workload.
-
Disunited canter, struggling to keep pace, difficulty with transitions, picking up incorrect lead.
-
Uneven shoe/hoof wear.
-
Bucking, rearing, napping.
-
Difficulty picking up feet.
-
Lameness - Please note we cannot treat any animals with undiagnosed lameness.
Equine Physiotherapy Sessions can take anywhere from 1 to 1.5 hours.
Follow-up MOT sessions are recommended every 4 - 6 months for the best results.
Follow-Up Rehab Sessions will vary depending on the needs of your horse.
