Equine Physiotherapy is not considered as an alternative to veterinary treatment, but rather as a supplement treatment in the post injury phase and as a part of a preventative maintenance programme. It is the aim of Equine Physiotherapy to improve and maintain optimal well-being and performance. Service I offer: A comprehensive physiotherapy service including a full physical examination to check the range of movement and mobility of your horse and to reveal areas of tension, tenderness and lack of mobility.
