Equine Physiotherapy with RVP

---

Whether you have a competitive athlete or a retired "happy hacker," physiotherapy is essential for maintaining your horse’s musculoskeletal health. Because horses are masters at masking discomfort, regular assessments are key to catching compensatory patterns before they lead to lameness.

• Performance Issues: such as Reluctance to canter on a specific rein, "girthiness," or knocking poles.
• Spinal Health: such as Kissing Spines (management and post-op), sacroiliac dysfunction, and neck stiffness.
• Injury Rehab: including Tendon/ligament strains and muscle tears.
• Maintenance: Helping senior horses stay mobile and comfortable.

• Vet Liaison: We handle the admin! We contact your vet for history and consent to ensure a safe, multi-disciplinary approach.

• The Observation: We begin by observing your horse in their stable or field. How are they standing? Are they "pointing" a toe or resting a limb unusually? We take the time to let them sniff our kit and settle.

• Comprehensive Assessment: We observe your horse standing and in movement (walk/trot) to identify asymmetries. We check soft tissues, joints, spine, and neurological responses.

• Treatment: A bespoke mix of manual therapy (massage, myofascial release), electrotherapies (LASER, PEMF), and remedial exercises.

• The Plan: You’ll receive a tailored home exercise programme via Equicantis, featuring clear video instructions.
