Specialist treatment for horses and dogs
We provide mobile equine physiotherapy for horses based at The Royal Stables in Al Mushrif, Abu Dhabi, allowing assessment and treatment to take place directly at the horse’s stable.
Established in 1969, The Royal Stables is one of Abu Dhabi’s longstanding equestrian institutions and today supports riding, livery, dressage, showjumping and competitive equestrian activity.
Horses in regular work can experience changing physical demands depending on their discipline, training intensity, competition schedule and individual history. Physiotherapy can support mobility, muscular balance, comfort and recovery while also helping identify changes that may affect movement or performance.
Every appointment is tailored to the individual horse. We consider their history, workload, movement, muscular development, previous injuries and any concerns raised by the owner or rider before deciding which treatments are most appropriate.
Physiotherapy isn't limited to injured horses. Horses at different ages, workloads and stages of training can benefit from professional assessment and appropriate treatment.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
As young horses develop strength, balance and coordination, assessment can help identify areas where targeted exercises or management changes may support their physical development.
Bringing together clinical knowledge and a passion for animal wellbeing.
