Regardless of their role, discipline or workload, all horses benefit from regular physiotherapy sessions. Horses in regular work often develop musculoskeletal imbalances that can influence their gait and negatively impact their fluidity of movement. Even horses that are retired or permanently turned out are at risk of developing weak muscles and poor posture that can lead to pain and discomfort. Regular physiotherapy sessions can identify and address subtle changes before they develop into bigger problems. Keeping your horse in optimum condition prevents prolonged periods out of work due to injury.
