Supplying Equine Physiotherapy Services to the Equine Industry    
 
The purpose of veterinary physiotherapy is to assist, maintain and correct musculoskeletal function as part of a preventative maintenance programme as well as in the post injury or post surgical phase for the equine athlete with the aim of maintaining or improving optimal performance.
 

 

 

Veterinary Physiotherapy can;

 

  • Reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injury
  • Improve competitive performance
  • Help solve training problems
  • Reduce vet fees
  • Prolong your horse's competitive and working life
  • Speed recovery from injury and improve the quality of repair
  • Assist your horse to perform at his optimum

 

Ultimately the cost of injury is the same regardless of how valuable the horse is.................                                         

 

I offer a comprehensive physiotherapy service to the equine industry including full assessment with relevant treatments and remedial exercise recommendations with full reports to the owner and treating veterinary surgeon. Treatment modalities include a wide range of electrotherapies as well as manual techniques such as massage, trigger point and myofascial release techniques and remedial exercise prescription.

 

Physiotherapy is most effective used in the following situations:

 

  • preventative and maintenance programmes to reduce risk of injury and spot early signs of compensatory  

           adaption. 

  • post surgical and post injury phases by assisting the healing process to achieve speed of recovery and

           quality of healing.

  • pre purchase assessments to highlight any potential problem areas, asymmetry or compensation.

 

Veterinary approval must be obtained before any treatment can go ahead.

 

I am a fully qualified equine physiotherapist based in Oxfordshire and am registered with The National Association of Veterinary Physiotherapists. I have over 25 years experience in the equine industry and have worked with some of the top equine vets in the U.K and France.
