Thank you, Emily, for your lovely words 🤍

Meet Milo, who has recently competed at the with his young rider Carmen, performing brilliantly against much larger and more experienced .

Milo has regular to manage performance-related soreness. During a recent session, a change in his shape meant his saddle no longer fitted properly, but with quick work from his saddle fitter and follow-up physio treatment, he was soon back to his best.

Careful management from his owners supports Milo’s nutrition, hoof care and veterinary health, helping keep him a happy, healthy athlete. His rider also trains with Ellie McCarthy Dressage, helping monitor subtle movement changes in both pony and rider.

A great example of how a multi-disciplinary team helps keep our athletes comfortable and thriving.

It’s !

This week is a great opportunity to recognise not just pet sitters, but also dog walkers and pet care professionals who support animals day in, day out 💚

From an animal physiotherapy perspective, consistent routines, appropriate exercise and safe handling play a huge role in an animal’s physical wellbeing - particularly for pets with:
✔️ arthritis
✔️ previous injuries
✔️ neurological conditions
✔️ age-related stiffness

Those caring for pets on a regular basis are often the first to spot subtle changes - slower movement, reluctance to jump, altered gait or changes in behaviour. Early awareness can prevent small issues becoming long-term problems.

Physio-friendly tips for pet care professionals:
• Stick to the agreed exercise routine (more isn’t always better)
• Avoid encouraging jumping in and out of vehicles or on furniture
• Use harnesses and leads correctly
• Flag any changes in movement or behaviour to the owner.

Thank you to all the pet sitters, dog walkers and animal care professionals helping keep our animals safe, comfortable and moving well.

Did you know dental issues don’t just affect your pet’s mouth - they can impact posture, gait, and overall mobility too?
Pain or discomfort from teeth and gums can make pets reluctant to move, jump, or play and is often mistaken for stiffness, ageing or general lethargy. Sometimes physiotherapy isn’t the solution - identifying the real cause and knowing who to ask, whether your vet or a physiotherapist, is key to keeping your pet comfortable and healthy.

If you've noticed any changes in your pet’s movement or behaviour get in touch with us or your vet to find out what’s really going on!

Cold weather means horses need more forage - but extra hay can quickly add calories and slow weight loss. Soaking hay isn’t just about reducing sugar; it’s about reducing calories so you can feed enough for welfare while still helping your horse shed excess weight.

Only a calorie deficit causes weight loss. Low sugar alone won’t do it. If your overweight horse isn’t losing weight and you can’t reduce hay without affecting gut or mental health, try soaking for longer (up to 12 hours). Other strategies, like replacing some hay with straw, can help too.

If you’re unsure how best to manage your horse’s weight, get in touch. We’re happy to offer general guidance and, where needed, help you find an appropriately qualified nutritionist to support you further - so your horse stays both happy and healthy.

This Valentine’s, we’re celebrating love, dedication and teamwork - and Snoopy and Lucinda embody it perfectly! Their progress shows that patience, care and teamwork really pay off.

They’re a reminder that love isn’t just about treats and cuddles - it’s about supporting your four legged friends health, mobility and wellbeing every day.

February is !

Cats are masters at hiding pain, which means mobility issues often go unnoticed. Physiotherapy can help with stiffness, arthritis, injuries and general comfort - keeping your feline friends moving happily.

Signs your cat may need physio:
– Hesitating to jump
– Stiffness after resting
– Changes in grooming or play
– Irritability

If you’re unsure, we’re always here to help, get in touch.

January is and we can't underline how important regular walks are! They help keep muscles strong, joints flexible and minds happy. Even short, gentle strolls can make a big difference, especially for dogs recovering from injury or needing a little extra support.

If you’re unsure what’s best for your dog, we can help create a safe, tailored walking routine that keeps them moving comfortably and happily. Give us a call or send us a message.
