🤔 I’ve been asked a few times, ‘what’s the difference between Equine Physios, Chiropractors and Massage Therapists?’
I hope this helps a little……..
⭐️ Equine Physios, Chiropractors and Massage Therapists can and do work together as a team effectively to improve the health and well-being of horses.
⭐️ Equine Physios are trained to treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal injuries such as soft tissue and joint problems. Physios use a hands on approach including massage, stretching and exercises to increase flexibility, strengthen core muscles and refuse pain, especially after injury or surgery.
⭐️ Chiropractors focuses on the spine of the horse, joint dysfunction and it’s effects on the nervous system. Chiropractors are particularly useful where joint motion is reduced or pain is apparent.
⭐️ Massage Therapists can identify area of tension, stiffness and soreness in muscles, tendons and ligaments. By using their hands, massage therapists can use a range of massage techniques to improve circulation, reduce pain and promote relaxation.
💪🏻 By working together, each of these professionals can use their own set of skills to complement each other, giving a better outcome for the overall well being, healthcare and performance of the horse.
