Busy weekend treating horses and riders in some lovely and some inclement weather! Looking forward to a few days of human physio in a warm, dry clinic next week! ❄️💪

Tommy and I enjoying the sun during a visit to sponsored rider Asha Warnock yesterday. I treated Tommy for the first time as well as treating Asha. We offer a discount if you book a combined horse and rider physiotherapy session. Treat both halves of the equation for better outcomes for your horses

It was great to catch up with Serryn from today.

She tortured me first but I must admit I feel a lot better for it! Very happy my body is rotating a little less to the right than it was.

Then Tommy had an assessment and some body work.
Pictured here with both dry needles and a cold laser - and he looked to be enjoying himself much more than me 🤣

Serryn identified a few weak areas on Tommy and has given me a couple of simple exercises to help build some strength in these areas. I love how simple and easy she keeps things, ensuring that it is all easy to achieve day to day.

Serryn is from Mansfield and services NE Victoria. She can work on both humans and animals and can assess riders in the saddle as well. Game changer.

Did you know we treat cats too? 😻
Although they can be a little harder to treat than dogs (though I'm sure this little lady wouldn't have been!) cats can benefit from physio too!
Cats are masters at hiding pain, and often the only sign of discomfort associated with significant joint changes on xray can be subtle changes in behaviour. If your cat no longer climbs or jumps like it used to pain could be a factor and a physiotherapy assessment could help

What tools does the equine physiotherapist have in their toolkit? 🛠🧰

Balance pads is one example that you might have seen lately ⚖️

Key to using balance pads for physio exercise is what you're trying to achieve with their use. They can help build strength in the thoracolumbar multifidus as well as improve overall coordination, but repetition and duration as well as how often you do the exercise matters. The firmness of the pad is also relevant, and where you only have access to a single firmness of pad we might need to adjust other factors to accommodate that for your horse. This is why we would always recommend having your horse assessed by a professional before adding something like balance pads to your program to ensure the way you use them is going to be appropriate and effective for the individual and what we're wanting to achieve.

Here I'm using them on Evans hindlimbs, but have also shown them used on the forelimbs. A more challenging variation would be to use them on all four legs.

We do a lot of hands on treatment as physiotherapists, but we're also the experts in prescribing rehabilitation programs. Building strength and control is not only important in rehabilitation, but it's also key to preventing future injury. We can help you get your horse moving better whether for performance or rehabilitation purposes 🐎🐎
