This is a great exercise for strengthening the gluts and quadriceps muscles. It also helps with proprioception and stability.

My left side is my stronger side. You can see I'm a little more tentative lunging down when I am standing on my right side. This is because my right gluts don't quite have the stability of my left, making this dynamic single leg stand a little trickier!

📍As part of every assessment I always check thoracic spine movement. Whilst there is not as much side bend here as there is in the neck, it is still an important movement to assess as this may be affecting how supple the horse is and how easy the rider finds it to bend their horse around the leg.

📍You can see on this horse she finds left side bend much easier than right side bend. So there is a reduction of movement. The movement also feels stiffer, however I am also looking for any pain reaction from the horse as well.

📍I will use this information to target specific areas during my treatment session, plus what I any give the owner to practice at home as an exercise between sessions.

📍This should help to improve the horses suppleness and laterality.

The gorgeous Merlin visited us today

He is a bit of a worrier and struggles in the vet environment. To help with his anxiety we allow him plenty of space and only do minimal hands on work with him.

Then we head outside, where he feels a little safer, and go through some exercises he can do whilst out on his walks.

This means we can show the owners what they need to do to help Merlin recover. Without Merlin feeling too overwhelmed.

Your dogs anxiety needn't get in the way of their rehab. We can help them overcome their fears by using lots of positive reinforcement and avoiding environment ls where they feel most fearful.

If your dogs needs physio and rehab, but you are worried about how they may react. Please do get in contact 🫶

Horse riding is a unique sport that demands balance, strength, and coordination. Yet, many riders overlook how their body functions off the horse can directly affect their performance in the saddle. A well-structured physiotherapy session can help riders discover their physical strengths and weaknes...

As the days are getting colder and wetter, our horses may not be able to get out as much as we would like.

Older horses in particular can start to struggle at this time of year. Joints start to feel stiffer as they are moving around less and they may lose a little muscle because of this.

To help your oldie out this winter why not book them a physio session.

We can help with:

⚡LASER and PEMFT to ease joint pain

✋Soft tissue massage to improve circulation and any puffy joints

🦴Joint mobilisations to help keep the joint lubricated with synovial fluid.

💪 Advice on gentle exercises to help keep stiff joints moving

🤓 Advice on stabling to help avoid boredom and improve wellbeing

Treat your golden oldie to a physio treatment this December with Amie and receive a 10% discount with code VETERAN10 on payment 🙌

🐱 Yes! Cats can benefit from physiotherapy too!

Whisky they do take a little more time and sensitivity than dogs, with a little understanding treatment can be very successful.

We are very lucky to have Amie as she soon wins them round.

Mabel is doing so well after her hemilaminectomy surgery. We try to see post spinal surgery clients as soon after surgery as possible, then initially weekly before every other week, then once monthly, dependent on each dogs progress.

Exercise therapy is a key part to any rehabilitation journey, but even more so for those that have a neuropathy of some sort. In particular those exercises should be ACTIVE exercises (where the dog is participating) rather than passive exercises (where you are doing all the work) as this helps to build new neural bridges and promotes normal movement, speeding up the time to recovery.

If you need help with your dog after surgery, do get in contact

❓Did you know that your horses notes are included as part of every session they have with us?

⭐This includes a body chart of their progress.

⏫Above is a key to the common notations that you will find on your horse's body chart.

We use a colour coded system to make it easy to see problematic areas and areas that have needed more work. This way it is easy to compare from one treatment session to the next 👍
