Equine Physiotherapy

Why Horses Benefit from Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy can help with:

• Stiffness, soreness, or changes in movement

• Back pain, tension, or reduced performance

• Injury rehabilitation

• Muscle imbalance or asymmetry

• Age-related changes and arthritis

• Improving suppleness, strength, and topline

• Enhancing comfort for horses at any life stage

We work closely with vets, farriers, saddle fitters, dentists, and trainers to support your horse with a complete, holistic approach

Our Treatment Approaches

Your horse’s first appointment includes:

• Full history and discussion

• Hands-on assessment of muscles and joints

• Gait evaluation (in-hand, lunge or ridden if needed)

• Review of posture, symmetry, and movement patterns

This helps us understand exactly what your horse needs.

Manual Therapies

We use a wide range of hands-on techniques to reduce pain, improve movement, and promote healing:

• Deep tissue and therapeutic massage

• Myofascial release

• Joint mobilisations

• Trigger point therapy

• Passive and active stretching

• Soft-tissue manipulation

These techniques help reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, restore mobility, and support better functional movement.

Electrotherapies

We use advanced evidence-based equipment to enhance recovery and manage pain. Our electrotherapies include:

• Ultrasound

• Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF)

• TENS and Neuromuscular stimulation Electrical

• K-Laser Therapy - We are proud to use the K-Laser, one of the most advanced and well-researched therapeutic lasers available. This Class IV medical laser delivers precise wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular repair and regeneration.

Benefits of K-Laser include:

• Accelerated tissue healing

• Reduced inflammation and swelling

• Increased circulation

• Relief from both acute and chronic pain

• Faster post-surgical recovery

• Improved mobility and comfort

The K-Laser’s deep-penetrating ability makes it ideal for treating musculoskeletal injuries, arthritis, tendon and ligament issues, and nerve-related conditions.
