A holistic, whole horse approach, to your horses health.
An equine musculoskeletal therapy appointment involves a full assessment of your horse looking at overall health (including emotional and mental), nutrition, environment and social considerations, posture, conformation and movement. Palpation and range of motion tests are then performed to find any problems areas and restrictions your horse may have.
Next is the body work component of the session, in which a variety of techniques are incorporated to begin to address the noted restrictions/compensations.

An online consult involves you collecting the following photos & videos of your horse:
1. Photos of horse standing on level ground from both sides, behind and in front (including hooves in the photos).
2. Video of:
- Horse walking and trotting out on a straight line from behind/in front and from both sides.
- Horse on the lunge or ridden, both reins at walk, trot and canter if applicable.
- Owner/handler running through palpation check (I will provide a video demonstrating how to perform this check).
3. If relevant, any discharge/diagnostic reports from veterinary consultation/s.
(I will send through documents on exactly how to do the above).
I will then review the information provided and will provide a report containing my observations with how this is impacting your horse, and a program of both static and dynamic exercises to complete with your horse at home to begin to address these noted dysfunctions.

Your horse is injured, you have just finished going through the process of getting a diagnosis and a baseline idea of what needs to occur going forward. You are overwhelmed, tired and to be honest, over it. You just want your horse to get better!
There are so many different opinions and ideas of what is best to do to help them heal, which has just added to the confusion. You just want a plan to follow, that is tailored to your horse, that you know will get results.
I created the Online Injury Rehabilitation Program service, just for you.
I have been in your shoes, I know how frustrating and overwhelming it can all be. How I would have loved to have someone create and explain a step by step program that I could complete with my horse. The clarity and confidence that would have brought.
So what does this program involve?
1. Upon booking, you will be emailed documents and videos outlining the information I require you to send through to me.
2. Once I have received these, I begin the review process, formulating a tailored 4 week program for your horse.
3. The 4 week program is incredibly detailed, providing a weekly outline, before delving into the how to for each daily plan. Photos and videos explaining these concepts, tasks and exercises, are included to ensure you feel confident implementing the program.
4. Once a week check in available via messenger or Whatsapp
