Who it's for
Who Is Equine Physiotherapy For?
Physiotherapy isn't limited to injured horses. Horses at different ages, workloads and stages of training can benefit from professional assessment and appropriate treatment.
Showjumping Horses
Jumping places significant physical demands on the horse through take-off, landing, turning and repeated collection and extension.
Physiotherapy can support mobility, muscular balance, flexibility and recovery while helping identify areas of tension or restriction that may affect movement and performance.
Dressage Horses
Dressage requires strength, symmetry, flexibility and controlled movement throughout the horse's body.
Regular physiotherapy can support muscular balance, mobility and range of motion while helping riders manage physical changes that can develop as training progresses.
Competition Horses
For horses training and competing regularly, physiotherapy can form part of an ongoing performance and maintenance programme.
Assessment can help identify muscular tension, asymmetry or changes in movement before they begin to have a greater effect on training or performance.
Riding-School Horses
Riding-school horses often work frequently and carry riders of different abilities, weights and levels of balance.
Physiotherapy can help support their ongoing mobility, muscular comfort and physical wellbeing alongside appropriate veterinary, farriery and management care.
Horses Returning from Injury
Following injury or veterinary treatment, physiotherapy may form part of a structured rehabilitation and return-to-work programme.
Treatment and remedial exercise can be adapted as the horse progresses through different stages of recovery.
Leisure Horses
A horse does not need to compete to benefit from physiotherapy.
Leisure horses can experience muscular tension, stiffness, reduced flexibility and compensatory movement in exactly the same way as competition horses.
Older Horses
Age-related changes can affect mobility, muscular strength and flexibility.
Appropriate physiotherapy and exercise programmes can help support movement, comfort and function as horses get older.
Young & Developing Horses
As young horses develop strength, balance and coordination, assessment can help identify areas where targeted exercises or management changes may support their physical development.
