✨ ROBIN IS READY ✨

Just look at this handsome boy! 😍🐴

I had the pleasure of meeting Robin for his initial physiotherapy assessment, and what an absolute superstar he was! ⭐️ He stood like a total champ, took everything in his stride and seemed to thoroughly enjoy his treatment.

Is your horse showing signs of stiffness, reduced mobility, changes in performance, or simply in need of some maintenance care?

✨ Physiotherapy can be a fantastic addition to your horse’s overall health and wellbeing.

✨ Dynamic Weight Shifting with Wobble Cushion ✨

Another one of lovely Wilson showing us how it’s done! 🐾

Weight-shifting (WS) exercises are simple yet effective exercises that can help improve balance, proprioception, coordination and fine motor control.

By altering the body’s position, mechanoreceptors within the joints and surrounding soft tissues are stimulated, increasing proprioceptive feedback to the central nervous system.

WS exercises can be particularly beneficial for encouraging controlled weight-bearing through a limb. They can be performed by gently shifting the patient from side to side or in a cranial-to-caudal direction.

Lateral WS primarily challenges the abductor and adductor muscle groups, while avoiding the need to take the joints towards the extremes of their range of motion. This can make these exercises particularly useful for patients requiring controlled strengthening and improved stability.

As the patient progresses, WS exercises can be made more challenging by placing the forelimbs, hindlimbs, or all four limbs onto an unstable surface, such as memory foam or a wobble cushion, depending on the desired outcome.

⚠️ Always consult your therapist before introducing these exercises to ensure they are appropriate for your animal and can be performed safely.

If you’d like to find out more about how physiotherapy and targeted exercises could benefit your animal, please feel free to get in touch. 💚

✨ Miss Jo ✨

I had the pleasure of treating this gorgeous girl, Miss Jo, a 23-years young, Irish Sport Horse.

Jo can intermittently experience some forelimb inflammation. During her treatment, we used PEMF to help with pain relief, reduce inflammation, promote circulation and improve mobility. Following her treatment, lymphatic drainage kinesiology tape was applied to provide continued support and encourage lymphatic flow.

It’s always lovely to receive feedback from owners following a session:

💬 “Thank you. She is definitely looser and happier now ☺️”

If you feel your equine could benefit from physiotherapy and a little TLC, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. 💫

✨ Pole Work ✨

Pole work is a fantastic exercise for both canine and equine athletes. Here you can see Wilson being an absolute superstar working over his alternating raised poles! 🐾

Pole work provides a great full-body workout, encouraging strength, balance, coordination, flexibility and proprioception, while engaging the spine, core, thoracic sling and hindlimb musculature.

Research has shown that as pole height increases, dogs naturally slow their pace and lift their limbs higher. This encourages greater joint flexion and a longer stance phase, particularly through the elbow, stifle and tarsus. It’s a great way to encourage controlled movement and make our animals think about where they are placing each foot!

Pole work can be beneficial for rehabilitation, sporting performance or general fitness and maintenance, when appropriately prescribed for the individual.

If you feel your pet could benefit from physiotherapy, whether for rehabilitation, maintenance or general wellbeing, please get in touch. 💫

✨ Jeremy ✨

Enjoy this precious boy snoozing his way through another treatment! 💙

I see Jeremy regularly to help keep him feeling his very best. He is often more than happy to spend his sessions relaxing and catching up on some much-needed sleep! 😴

Jeremy can be a little anxious at times, so we always take each session at his own pace, allowing him to feel comfortable, relaxed and confident throughout his treatment.

If you feel physiotherapy could benefit your animal, please get in touch. Physiotherapy can be beneficial for a variety of needs, including post-operative rehabilitation, regular management of diagnosed conditions, maintenance sessions and general TLC to help keep your animal feeling their best. 🐾

💫 Stanley 💫

How gorgeous is this lovely boy! 🥰

I have the pleasure of working with Stanley, a gorgeous 6-year-old mixed-breed rescue. Stanley loves nothing more than chasing the wildlife in the garden, but unfortunately, this resulted in him rupturing his cruciate ligament. He recently underwent a TPLO and has been doing really well with his recovery.

Unfortunately, last week Stanley took an awkward step onto the sofa, resulting in excessive torsion through the limb and, sadly, a tibial fracture. 💔

Here you can see Stanley enjoying his PEMF treatment alongside gentle massage as part of his early-stage rehabilitation, helping to support his comfort and recovery.

If your animal has recently undergone surgery or is recovering from an injury and you would like professional support throughout their rehabilitation, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

✨ Forelimb Protraction Stretch ✨

Stretching can be a valuable part of an animal’s rehabilitation and maintenance programme. Its primary aim is to improve joint range of motion (ROM) and the extensibility of the surrounding periarticular tissues, muscles and tendons.

During a forelimb protraction stretch, the limb is gently moved towards the end of its available range and held for approximately 10–15 seconds, where appropriate and comfortable for the individual.

Some of the potential benefits of stretching include:
🐾 Increasing joint ROM 🐎 Improving the flexibility and extensibility of muscles, tendons and surrounding tissues 🐾 Helping to reduce the formation of muscle adhesions 🐎 Encouraging muscle fibre lengthening 🐾 Helping to reduce muscle hypertonicity 🐎 Preventing or improving muscle and joint contractures

It is important to remember that we should never stretch cold muscles. The animal should be appropriately warmed up beforehand using methods such as low-intensity exercise, massage or heat therapy.

Stretching should also never be performed through pain. If your animal is experiencing pain, discomfort or has a known musculoskeletal injury, always seek advice from your veterinary physiotherapist or veterinary surgeon before incorporating stretches into their routine.

If you would like more information about how you can safely help improve your animal’s flexibility and joint range of motion, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

✨ Hedgie ✨

Meet Hedgie, a gorgeous 16-year-old Thoroughbred who I see for regular maintenance physiotherapy sessions to help keep him feeling and performing at his very best. 💙

During his session, kinesiology tape was applied to Hedgie's poll to help relieve tension, as well as from the biceps femoris muscle to the stifle to provide additional support and pain relief while encouraging normal movement.

Physiotherapy isn't just for horses recovering from injury. Whether you're a happy hacker enjoying leisurely rides or competing at the highest level, every horse can benefit from a little extra TLC. Regular physiotherapy can help maintain comfort, mobility, and overall wellbeing, allowing your horse to continue doing what they love.

If you're unsure whether your horse could benefit from physiotherapy and would like professional advice, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I'd be more than happy to have a chat.
