🐴 Holiday & Rehabilitation Livery – William
📅 17-day stay
📉 16 kg weight loss
🤸🏽 Improved core strength and spinal stability
🏋🏽♂️ Increased hindlimb muscle mass
🏃🏽➡️ Improved fitness
🌊 Worked in varying water heights throughout his programme
William headed home yesterday after spending 17 days with us on our Holiday & Rehabilitation Livery programme.
Following a suspensory ligament injury last November and a diagnosis of kissing spines, the focus of his stay was to improve his fitness while building core strength, spinal stability, and overall mobility.
Throughout his programme, we varied the water height to target different goals:
💧 Fetlock-height water helped improve limb range of motion while encouraging greater core engagement to support his back.
💧 Hock-height water provided a more challenging workout to build fitness and strengthen his hindquarters.
William started with 10-minute sessions and gradually progressed to 25-minute sessions as his strength and fitness improved. 💪
Alongside his water treadmill work, he completed his prescribed physiotherapy exercises twice daily to further develop his core and hindlimb strength.
To finish his stay, William enjoyed a relaxing wash using Equioils. 🧼🛁
Well done, William! We wish you all the best with your continued rehabilitation and look forward to seeing your progress. 💙
