Treatments available from AED 320
AED 320 applies to canine follow-up physiotherapy appointments. Initial assessments and equine treatments are priced separately.
Professional care for horses and dogs
Veterinary physiotherapy can support animals at every stage — from competition horses and sporting dogs to animals recovering from surgery and older pets requiring ongoing mobility support.
Treatment is based on a full clinical assessment rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, allowing Catherine to identify areas of weakness, restriction, discomfort or compensation before creating an individual treatment plan.

When could physiotherapy help?
You do not need to wait until your animal has suffered a major injury before considering physiotherapy. Treatment may be beneficial if you have noticed:
Stiffness or reduced mobility
Changes in flexibility, range of movement or general mobility can indicate areas that would benefit from assessment and treatment.
Recovery after injury or surgery
Structured physiotherapy and rehabilitation can help support a safe and progressive return to normal movement, exercise or work.
Changes in performance
Reduced performance, reluctance to perform certain movements, asymmetry or changes in behaviour during exercise may warrant further assessment.
Muscle tension or soreness
Hands-on treatment can help address muscular tension, soft tissue restriction and compensatory movement patterns.
Arthritis or age-related changes
Physiotherapy can form part of the ongoing management of older animals, helping support mobility, comfort and physical function.
Maintenance & preventative care
Regular assessment may help identify areas of weakness, restriction or asymmetry before they develop into more significant problems.
What does a physiotherapy appointment include?
Every animal is different, which is why treatment begins with an individual assessment. Depending on your animal and the reason for treatment, your appointment may include:
Clinical history
A discussion about your animal's health, previous injuries, current workload, movement, behaviour and your reasons for seeking treatment.
Movement assessment
Assessment of posture, gait, symmetry, muscular development and movement quality.
Hands-on assessment
Palpation of muscles and soft tissues to identify areas of tension, sensitivity or restriction.
Joint & mobility assessment
Assessment of flexibility, range of motion and areas of mechanical restriction.
Individual treatment
A combination of appropriate physiotherapy techniques selected according to your animal's clinical findings.
Ongoing recommendations
Where appropriate, Catherine may provide rehabilitation exercises, management advice or recommendations to support progress between appointments.
Treatment tailored to the assessment
Treatment is selected according to your animal's assessment rather than applying the same techniques to every patient.
Supporting movement, recovery and performance
From riding-school horses to competition horses, physiotherapy can support rehabilitation, musculoskeletal health, movement quality, comfort and athletic performance.
Equine appointments may be appropriate for:
- Performance optimisation
- Rehabilitation and post-surgical recovery
- Muscular tension and restriction
- Compensatory movement
- Maintenance treatment
- Preventative care
- Return to work
