Description

WHAT IS EQUINE OSTEOPATHY?

Equine osteopathy focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders, and the effects of these conditions on a horses’ general health.

Treatment consists of a variety of techniques, including articulation of joints, soft tissue work, equine massage, stretching, facial release and manipulation as appropriate.

WHAT CAN IT TREAT?

Back Pain
Sacro-iliac lesion
Cold back
Stiffness
Rehab after injury
Head tossing
Reduced level of performance
Changes in behaviour – bucking, rearing, refusing to jump, kicking
Reluctance to trot / canter on certain reins
Diagnosed conditions, such as degenerative arthritis and lameness

In many cases an animal has learnt to compensate for pain or musculoskeletal discomfort over time, for example, from an old injury in the leg. This manifests itself into pain elsewhere i.e. along the spine.
