💪 Dynamic Mobilisation Exercises for Horses 💪

Lateral tail pulls, pelvic rounding & belly lifts in practice 🐴

These are key dynamic mobilisation exercises I regularly use in both rehabilitation and performance programmes to support strength, posture, and movement quality.

Have you incorporated these into your horse’s routine yet? 👇

Louis has been having LASER therapy sessions to help manage the arthritis in his elbow 🐾✨

Arthritis can cause pain, inflammation and stiffness in joints. Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that helps by increasing circulation, reducing inflammation and encouraging healing at a cellular level.

For Louis, this means improved comfort, easier movement and support in keeping him active and happy 💚

Louis has been such a good boy during his treatments 🐶

Sad start to the week with one of my gorgeous patients crossing rainbow bridge 💔🌈 Chester enjoyed his routine physio over the last couple of years. We rehabbed him exceptionally well after his hip surgery, and then he had ongoing physio for OA management. Sleep tight little one 🐱

Moira the superstar 💚🐾

This gorgeous 11-year-old cocker spaniel has been dealing with patellar tendonitis following TPLO surgery 2 months ago—and what a difference a week can make!

There is 1 week between these videos and her lameness has massively reduced - she’s moving so much more comfortably 🐶✨

Her physio programme has included:
• LASER therapy to support healing
• Massage to ease muscle tension and fibrosis
• Passive range of motion to improve left stifle mobility
• Assisted sit-to-stands to build strength and encourage stifle flexion
• Heat therapy to reduce joint stiffness

Consistency is key, and Moira is proving just how effective tailored physiotherapy can be 💪

Keep smashing it, Moira—you’re doing amazing! 🐾💚

Happy Easter to all my clients 🐣

Just wanted to share a simple but powerful exercise—backing up 👏

When a dog walks backwards, they:
• Activate glutes, hamstrings, and quads
• Engage their core
• Improve proprioception (body awareness)

💪 Why it’s so beneficial
• Builds hindlimb strength
• Encourages controlled, balanced movement
• Promotes better joint mobility
• Low-impact but highly effective for rehab and conditioning

Small movement, big impact 💚

✨ Show dogs need support too ✨

This is beautiful Kinta the Finnish Lapphund, who has regular physiotherapy sessions to help support her body alongside her busy showing career.

Even when dogs are fit and active, conformation can mean certain areas of the body work harder than others, leading to muscle tension and compensation over time. Regular physiotherapy helps us spot these areas early and keep everything moving as comfortably and efficiently as possible.

During Kinta’s session we worked on:
🐾 Releasing tight muscles
🐾 Improving joint mobility
🐾 Supporting balanced muscle use
🐾 Helping her body cope with the physical demands of showing

Physiotherapy isn’t just for injuries — it’s also a great preventative tool for active and competition dogs, helping them stay comfortable, strong and performing at their best.

Kinta was a superstar for her treatment today ⭐
