Treatments

Initial Assessment

I will do a visual and physical assessment to get an initial impression of your horse. This also includes an analysis of their gait in walk and trot. I will discuss any past or current injuries, problems and concerns you have before proceeding with treatment.

Treatment

£50

A full physiotherapy session will take place which can take up to an hour. Any physical discomfort will be addressed using techniques such as massage, myofascial release and electrophysical agents, most horses find this a pleasant and relaxing experience. The treatment will be finished with some passive stretches and any recommendations for maintaining your horses physical condition can be discussed.

Please allow 1.5 hours for the entire treatment.

Follow Up Appointments

Follow up treatments will be dependent on the findings of the assessment and treatment. These maybe necessary within a few weeks or months depending on your planned intentions with the horse.

Notes

There is no charge for travel within 30 minutes of Newent.
Please contact me to discuss travel to further locations.

All therapists need permission from your vet before carrying out any treatments (Veterinary Act 1966). I will need written or verbal confirmation from them, I am also happy to contact your horses vet on your behalf before the initial treatment.

Ridden assessments of horse and rider are available upon request.

If possible please book an appointment outside of yard feeding and turnout times.

Depending on the treatment outcome it is sometimes suggested that horses will benefit from a day off post treatment to help any muscles re-balance and adjust.

Please ensure horses are clean and dry prior to treatment.

Ideally the owner needs to be present but please inform me if an alternative responsible person will be in attendance.

Disclosure

I am a qualified, accredited and insured equine physiotherapist. My training and qualification allows me to treat physical problems. If I believe any conditions found are outside of my professional field I will recommend that your horse is seen by your vet.
