PHYSIOTHERAPY FOR HORSES
Horses like riders can become restricted in parts of their body and movement.
​
Signs your horse may need physiotherapy:
-
difficulty in performing specific movements or stiffness on one rein
-
difficulty engaging their hind quarters, falling in through the quarters or out through the shoulder
-
evading the bit, hollowing or rushing
-
an injury, fall, getting cast or escaping from the field
-
napping, bucking, rearing or bolting
-
having had a poorly fitting saddle or tack
-
sensitive when being brushed
-
knocking fences, jumping to one side or refusing
-
toe dragging and /or stumbling
-
recovery from surgery or veterinary treatment
​
Equine physiotherapy can help by restoring flexibility, function and strength to keep your horse at the top of it's well being and performance.
