What to expect from a veterinary physiotherapy consultation! 🐾🐴

I will be offering mobile services around the areas of West and North Yorkshire for both horses and dogs!

Whether this is a simple maintenance check up or post injury rehabilitation, you can expect to have a first initial consultation which will last around 60-90 minutes including treatment!

This will include:
🔵Case history - to discuss your animals medical history, lifestyle, struggles, temperament, possible previous injuries and your goals with physio!
🔵Static and dynamic assessment - looking at the conformation, posture and movement of your animals.
🔵Palpation - where I will get my hands on to feel for any muscle differences, symmetry, tension, heat and discomfort.
🔵Range of motion (ROM) - assessing the movement of joints manually to feel for any crepitus (clicking) and overall health of the joints.
🟢Providing nothing is found that isn’t of concern to your vet we can then crack on with treatment, which is tailored to your animal and can include massage, stretching, electrotherapies and relevant exercises!
🟢Ongoing support and follow up treatment plans will be in place to ensure you and your animal get the best outcome!

‼️Please note if you require post injury rehabilitation this requires a vet diagnosis/referral first‼️

My insurance and membership are almost sorted so I will soon be able to get people in the diary!📔
Feel free to message me to find out specific cases I can cover and how I can help your animal!

There has been a significant milestone for Veterinary Physiotherapy today.

Earlier today, DEFRA published “Our vision for a thriving veterinary sector” – proposals for the biggest reform of veterinary regulation since 1966. Veterinary Physiotherapists are named explicitly within the plans, alongside veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses and other allied veterinary professionals, as part of a new statutory licence to practise framework.

This is a direct response to the consultation NAVP, and our colleagues at other representative bodies, submitted evidence to earlier this year. It reflects years of work across our profession to build the standards, governance and clinical rigour that regulation demands.

There is more detail to follow, and more work ahead as the framework takes shape. NAVP will be engaging closely with RAMP, AHPR, DEFRA and the new regulator throughout this process, and we will keep our members informed at every stage.

For now, this is a moment to recognise how far Veterinary Physiotherapy has come, and how much further we can go with the statutory recognition our members’ training has always deserved.

"Why is my horse sore?"

It's the hardest question for a bodyworker to answer.

There are SO MANY factors that can influence tension and pain patterns in the body.

Your horse's conformation and posture... it matters.

How your horse stands and moves in turnout or a stall... it matters.

Previous lameness, illness, hoof or dental issues... it matters.

The tack you use, the training methods you use, the asymmetries in your own body... it all matters.

Bodyworkers don't have x-ray vision. We can't give a diagnoses and we don't see the everyday happenings of your horse's life. What we CAN do is use our experience and training to give general ideas as to what *might* be the cause of tension and pain. The more information we have, the more accurate we can be.

This is why it is so important to give your bodyworker all the details and keep them informed as things change or progress.

Don’t underestimate the power of our hands! Besty has had some tension though his back which we relieved today with some simple massage, practicing some techniques for my exams🤚🏼
As you can see in the first video, there’s lots of tension and spasm in the thoracolumbar area, and some behavioural indicators of tension with him moving away.
We did some simple effleurage, kneading and compression to help relieve this 🙌🏼
By the end, as you can see in the last video he’s a lot more comfortable with no spasms, leaving a nice supple muscle tone!!
We then ended this with a nice lateral baited stretch to really stretch out the epaxial muscles of his back!

Massage benefits:
🔴Warms up tissues by increasing blood flow by stimulating vasodilation
🔴 Relives tension and elongates muscle fibres by improving elasticity
🔴Can stimulate lymphatic drainage and remove waste products while also bringing in new nutrients and oxygen
🔴Activates sensory nerves for relaxation and pain relief - you can really tell when they start to relax and soften into it!
🔴Overall improves muscle tone and reduces spasms!
