NO HOOF, NO HORSE πŸ‘ 

One thing I will always assess in my clients is their feet. Biomechanically, if the feet are not balanced then there will be secondary consequences higher up the chain with muscular imbalance, asymmetrical joint loading and pain.

The simple way I do this is to measure the hoof-pastern axis (HPA) with my trusty iPhone. I look for an axis that falls within a normal range, as well as symmetry between right and left limbs.

When I first met Arthur I noticed that he was unable to stand square, and had an left hind pelvic asymmetry. This was ultimately caused by an asymmetrical HPA where the left hind was broken back significantly and causing him to overload his right hindlimb. Imagine wearing a stiletto on one of your feet for the day and tell me how uncomfortable and unbalanced you would feel!!

By working with his farriers we have been able to balance his feet and as a result ensure there is equal hindlimb loading - just look at the difference in muscle development in the second photo πŸ’ͺ

TECARTHERAPY FOR WOUND HEALING AND SWELLING MANAGEMENT

Poor Bill was in the wars last week having got his leg caught in the field πŸ€• Luckily we had our routine 6-week appointment booked for the next day (great timing from Bill!) which meant we could treat the wound and swelling which had developed overnight.

Bill was very reluctant to weightbear on his leg, which was significantly swollen from his stifle all the way down to his foot. His owner had done a great job of keeping the wound clean so we were able to treat around it using Winback Tecartherapy. This allowed opening of his lymphatic system to drain the swelling away from his leg, as well as contributing to pain relief and physiological wound healing.

In just 24 hours post-treatment there was a significant improvement - the swelling had reduced to almost normal along the whole length of the leg and Bill was comfortable weightbearing and walking.

Accidents and horses go hand in hand πŸ˜… so if your horse has a wound or swelling from injury then Tecartherapy can significantly accelerate healing timeframes. For more information please contact us!

Ponies need TLC too πŸ’–

Meet Caramel, a lovely little 11hh Welsh Section A - isn’t she gorgeous?!

Caramel is everything you want in a kids pony - experienced, easy to handle and bombproof. As a result, she has had many loan homes over the past few years as she teaches the next generation of children to ride.

Whilst Caramel loves her job, it is easy sometimes for the pony to be overlooked, particularly when it comes to their musculoskeletal wellbeing. Caramel’s new owners recognised this straight away and contacted me to try and get her as comfortable as possible, so that the new little riders could get the best out of her.

When I first met Caramel, she had a lot of guarding and compensatory hypertrophy of her spinal muscles - you can see this in her posture and muscle development particularly in her lower back. She was also quite guarded and nervous, and took a while to allow both body and mind to accept treatment.

Fast forward only a month and I am super pleased to see how far Caramel has come. She was very happy to see me and is moving much more freely. As a result her posture has improved dramatically - she is now able to engage her core muscles and stretch through the back, and the compensatory guarding and hypertrophy of her spinal muscles have settled.

Looking forward to the next chapter of Caramel’s journey 🐎
