equine OSTEOPATHY

Osteopathic treatment involves a rigorous method of checking the animal’s joints, tendons and muscles for any pain or restriction that may impact the horse’s optimal health and performance. Treatment involves moving the areas of the horse’s body to help improve the function of the whole animal.

How osteopathy can help horses:

  • Assessment and treatment of existing pain
  • Protection against potential muscle joint and tendon problems
  • Maintenance of the horse’s essential need for ongoing flexibility and mobility and therefore performance
  • Performance and behaviour issues which may be associated with physical pain or restriction
Why Your Horse Needs An Equine Osteopath? ​
Canine OSTEOPATHY

All animals which are physically active are at risk of experiencing joint, muscle or tendon problems just like us. Assessment is recommended for animals that are involved with rigorous exercise such as agility and trials. 

Treatment can be beneficial for conditions such as: 

  • Relief of existing pain
  • To help maintain healthy joints, muscles and tendons
  • The assessment of poor function, which may lead to injury or discomfort in the future

You can read more about canine osteopathy and book an appointment on my dog osteopath page.

Infection Prevention: Covid-19 has changed all our lives for the time being but carry on we must, specially when we fear our animals may be suffering. Initially I closed the practice along with Veterinarians but practice can now resume with risk assessments completed and new health and safety measures in place. Please follow the link to our Covid-19 risk assessment for animals for further information.
