Got my Avian Physiotherapy certificate today- woohoo 🙌

I’m feel quite strongly about representing the animals who are often under valued. Our birds of this world deserve just as much consideration as the horses and dogs. So I know my followers understand that I will always unapologetically fly the flag for chickens and other feathered super stars 🌟

Great advice

The start of Autumn means the nights are drawing in & our horses are preparing themselves for the winter.

The liver & kidneys play a crucial role in eliminating toxins around the body so thinking about a detox can help them to run more efficiently.

Herbs to look out for:
🟢 Milk Thistle - Increases bile production from the liver. An anti-oxident its ideal for maintainence & support of the liver.
🟢 Burdock Root - Helps to maintain the skin, useful as a digestive aid stimulating the digestive juices and is great support for both the liver & kidneys.
🟢 Clivers (often known as goosegrass or sticky w**d) - Silica rich so good for the coat, skin & improving hoof quality. It helps to support the lymphatic system (combine with marigold flowers)
🟢 Dandelion - Strengthens & supports the kidneys. Its a natural electrolyte packed full of magnesium & potassium.
🟢 Nettle - Excellent as a tonic and general blood cleanser. It supports circulation, joints, is rich in Vitamin C, iron, sodium & fibre.

For those who prefer a mix then take a look at our Detox Free, this is one of our special request mixes so NO meadowsweet in this mix (FEI controlled substance) making it suitable for all 👌

Straight herbs or the mix you'll find them on the webshop www.ecogreenequestrian.co.uk & they will be on the stand at Chillington this weekend. As always do message the page for any product advice. 😊

More weighing!! ⚖️

ALL 24 chickens, and all the ponies, and me! It is so useful to regularly get accurate weights. This is a key component in monitoring health. Every individual is different, so figuring out their baseline is very important, and then working out what would be an optimal weight range to go for if some change is needed.

Don’t forget, I offer a mobile weigh in service to Physiotherapy and behaviour clients, so get in touch if this is something you’d be interested in! I can also do walk in weigh ins for local clients to Hillcrest Stables 😎

I’m delighted to share a success story this week… Barry suffered a terrifying fox attack on Friday the 15th of this month. One of his two girlfriends was killed, and he was left badly bruised, scratched, in shock, exhausted and with a lot of muscle spasm. His amazing guardians, Mickey & Glenn, have been hand feeding him a special diet, keeping him warm, and giving him red light therapy 4x daily. He had anti inflammatories and an antibiotic injection from the vet. Massage and PEMF therapy are what I could bring to the table, to help bring his muscles out of spasm and back to their normal function. After a fox attack it is common for chickens to get lactic acidosis, so the massage is really helpful in mitigating that, as well as extra nutrients in his diet.

In his first treatment I had to do a lot of work at the base of his skull where his muscles were in spasm from fighting back. Some very gentle neck stretches really helped too. Yesterday he was 10x better (check out his little jump to reach a leaf!🍃- another post- had a glitch uploading it!) and his treatment was much of the same, but also a bit more work on wing muscles that were too sore to work on last time. I’m so happy he is gaining strength every day. He may have some new girlfriends in his future too ❤️‍🩹

Thank you to Jen Beasley from too, for extra tips and advice!

Absolutely blissed out Coby 🥰. For at least a couple of years I have regularly been giving the incredible assistance dog Coby physiotherapy treatments to support his health as he ages. His committed owner and her awesome PA have been absolutely amazing at doing any prescriptive exercises and activities, and he has gone from strength to strength… But the most heartwarming thing is how much he soaks up his treatments!
