🔷Molly and Lola🔷

Lovely session with these two cuties!

Lola received her maintenance treatment along with some remedial exercises, including:
- Weight shifting
- Passive range of motion
- Pole work
- Sit-to-stands
- Wobble board stability

Molly, on the other hand, received some massage and pulse mag to help relieve her chronic back pain… aswell as being Lola’s cheerleader on the side lines 📣

Thanks for having me Gill ☺️

🔷Scout🔷

🐴Scout is nearly 3 years old & received his first treatment & remedial exercise plan
🐴Physio is beneficial even for our young horses to help aid them correctly before their ridden career starts…

📈During growth, foals & young horses experience awkward & inconsistent stages of development
🤕Abnormal adaptions of motion & posture can lead to areas of tension that may carry into adulthood - creating patterns & cycles of unwanted behaviour & poor performance.

❓Did you know❓
- Some foals may develop injuries that may not become apparent until later into their ridden years
- Asymmetry is very common is foals. Chances of hip asymmetry significantly increase if the mare gives birth standing up

💪Physio treatment in young horses is beneficial for addressing these issues before their ridden career starts:
- Reducing the chance of unwanted postural adaptations later on in life
- Maximising their athletic potential & wellbeing

🔷Equine Asymmetry🔷

⚖️ It’s a well known fact rider asymmetry can affect our horses performance, and vise versa. So here’s a little overview to shed a little light on the topic…

🧘🏻‍♀️ Horses rely on us to provide the proper training they need to live a happy and comfortable life. So it’s important we look at our own imbalances, as well as theirs.

🏇Training straightness aids horses mentally aswell as physically - keeping them fit, supple, and strong, allowing them to round the back, supporting the rider.

💪When we encourage equal muscle recruitment and weight bearing, weight can be transferred more easily. Allowing the hind limbs to push into the centre of mass
- Reducing wear & tear on joints
- Preventing injury
- Reducing compensations
- Reduce saddle slipping

⚖️ A qualified practictioner can help assess areas of asymmetry - advising on the weaker parts to aid musculoskeletal symmetry, straightness and balance.

🔷 Frank & Coco 🔷

Absolute delight to treat these two sausages 💙
We worked on some areas of tension through the spinal musculature. And finished off with some remedial exercise

🦮They both loved demonstrating some isometric contractions on the balance disc together
🦮Coco wasn’t a fan of the pole work but Frank gave it a good go

Thanks for having me Chloe 😁

Lovely visit with Buddy yesterday

💙I love seeing the horses relax into their treatments.
💙Buddy was quite tense and spooky at first but soon realised I was there to help

💙I used a range of massage techniques to release some trigger points in his lumbar area and gluteal muscles, with the help of my pulse mag to further aid pain and circulation

I have some spaces left for this Tue and Wed if anyone would like to book in before I relocate 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

🔷Therapeutic Exercise Vs. Sports Conditioning🔷

🐕Therapeutic or remedial exercise plans are designed to address specific impairments.
🐕Slow and progressive recovery can effectively take place, allowing optimal healing.

🐎Sports and fitness conditioning programs are designed to improve the working and performance animal.
🐎Injuries are less likely to occur, and if they do - they tend to be less sever and recover quicker.
