Equine Physiotherapy
Support your horse to move well, stay strong and perform at their best.
Whether you are managing an ongoing issue or looking to maintain performance, changes in how your horse moves or feels are rarely random.
If your horse keeps coming up sore, stiff or underperforming, there is usually a reason for it. Without addressing it properly, you end up managing symptoms instead of fixing the problem.
These issues tend to develop over time through changes in how your horse is loading, compensating or working.
Most approaches fall short because they focus on where the issue shows up, not what is actually causing it.
In some cases, how the rider moves and loads can also influence how the horse is working. Looking at both can give a clearer picture and improve long-term results.
To fix it properly, you need clear answers on what is actually causing the issue, not just where it shows up.
From there, everything becomes targeted and purposeful, with hands-on treatment and a structured plan to improve movement, build strength and reduce the risk of it returning.
Each session is structured around:
A thorough assessment of how your horse moves and loads
Hands-on treatment to address restriction, pain or compensation
A clear plan to guide what happens between sessions
Addressing the underlying cause is what leads to more consistent, long-term results when done properly.
A horse that feels more comfortable, willing and consistent
Improved performance without constantly managing issues
Confidence in how your horse is moving and progressing
Ongoing comfort and performance maintenance
Fewer setbacks and clearer progress over time
A structured plan so you know what to do moving forward
This means
What to expect in your first session
Your first session is focused on understanding the full picture, not just the obvious issue.
Discussion of your horse’s history, workload and current concerns
Assessment of movement, posture and way of going
Hands-on assessment to identify areas of restriction, pain or compensation
Targeted treatment based on findings
A clear plan so you know exactly what to do moving forward
You will leave with a clear understanding of what is contributing to the issue and what to do next.

-
Treatment is tailored to the individual horse and focused on what is actually limiting their movement or performance.
This may include a combination of hands-on techniques, exercise prescription and management advice, depending on what is found during assessment.
The focus is not just on treating where the issue shows up, but addressing the factors contributing to it so the results are more consistent and long lasting.
-
Back pain and reduced spinal mobility
Muscle soreness, tightness or asymmetry
Reduced performance or change in way of going
Rehabilitation following injury or time off
