Physiotherapy is not solely reserved for elite competition horses; it benefits horses of all disciplines and abilities. Horses, like humans, can subtly compensate for pain by adjusting their posture and gait. As a responsible owner, it's important to recognise behavioral signs that may indicate discomfort and pain in your horse. Physiotherapy combination of manual therapies, equine massage tharpy and electrotherapies, physiotherapy reduces pain, improves joint mobility, and enhances muscular strength and condition.
By addressing specific conditions and injuries, physiotherapy promotes efficient rehabilitation and accelerates recovery time. However, it also focuses on proactive care to maintain overall muscle balance and prevent future issues. Regular physiotherapy assessments provide early intervention, ensuring your horse performs at their best and enjoys a high quality of life.
Assessments are essential for early detection and optimal performance. It's optimal to book in for a physiotherapy session every 12 weeks
