🚨 Why We Cannot Treat a Lame Horse Without Veterinary Involvement 🚨
This is one of the most common questions we get — and it’s really important.
If your horse is actively lame, we cannot begin treatment without veterinary diagnosis or consent.

If your horse is showing signs of lameness, your first step should always be contacting your vet. Once a diagnosis is in place, we’re here to support the recovery journey every step of the way 🐴
Have questions about how the referral process works? Drop us a message — we’re happy to explain.

You might be surprised when your physiotherapist looks at your saddle or bridle — but there’s a very good reason for it.
As physios, we assess how your horse moves, feels, and loads their body.
Tack plays a huge role in that picture.

💡 Think of tack checks as part of a whole-horse approach.
Everything your horse wears influences how they move.
If you’re unsure whether tack could be affecting your horse’s comfort or recovery, a physiotherapy assessment can help identify the bigger picture.

📩 Message us to book an assessment or chat about your horse’s current work or rehab plan.

Spring is here, and so begins the prep for the summer! Don't forget that physio is an integral part of your horses comfort and performance- so don't hold off until a problem arises to get them booked in🙈

Preventative physio at this time of year focuses on:
- addressing early signs of compensation before they become catastrophic issues
- highlighting weakness from potential reduced turn out and work over that awful winter- providing a baseline for appropriate work to begin and build on
- providing an objective starting point for workload to increase upon
- nervous system regulation as the spring grass starts to come through
- a treat for your four legged because they to survived that winter!

Whatever the reason, Equi-Formance are here to support you!

I heard someone recently say that they thought physios only work on muscle- and that couldn’t be further from the truth! As physiotherapists, we work on: muscle, tendons, ligaments, bones, joints, fascia, and even neurological components🤯
Most of the time the issue isn’t local to the muscle, so why should we only look there?

Good circulation and tone within the glutes is crucial to healthy balance and movement, amongst many other things! But this is definitely the most satisfying 😍

Happy Monday folks!!
To kick start the week with a bit of a giggle, here’s Olivia’s contribution to the “AI generated career trend” that has been circulating social media over the weekend😅
I can assure you all, Winback does not create any form of flame like the one demonstrated below. Mr ChatGPT seems to think we’re doing some sort of electric shock therapy by the looks of it🤣
