Equine Physiotherapy

Equine physiotherapy is an extremely well recognised tool, utilised to enhance recovery times, associated with injury.

​

Veterinary Physiotherapists combine static and dynamic assessment with palpation and clinical reasoning. You can be assured that any minor musculoskeletal changes are detected, improving your horses well-being and enhancing performance.
