Emma McCagherty Bsc (hons) Physiotherapy ACPAT Cat A, MCSP
Physiotherapy can help your horse by relieving pain, increasing mobility and promoting healing. Often animals only display subtle signs of pain or discomfort such as a change in behaviour, a change in performance, stiffness or a change in their normal movement pattern. Physiotherapy is extremely useful in assessing this and providing the correct treatment or referring to the Vet if there is an underlying condition. In the sporting animal, physiotherapy can help to optimise and maintain performance levels. Equine Physiotherapy assessment is usually carried out at the yard your horse is kept on, so it is a familiar environment for them. Depending on your horse’s condition, assessment and treatment can take between 45mins and 1 ½ hours. Advice will be given to help manage your horse’s condition and an appropriate exerciser programme provided. Follow-up visits will be discussed as part of the treatment plan.
