EQUIPHYSIO
Mia Alice White
Equine Sports Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation
I am fully qualified and insured to perform all physiotherapy techniques; rehabilitation plans prescribed by your Veterinary Surgeon.
I am experienced in assessing subtle gait changes and altered rider horse interactions due to musculoskeletal discomfort, and can coordinate with members of your wider support system to help improve recovery i.e. farrier; saddler; dentist; coach/trainer or nutritionist.
The Process Involves:
Initial Assessments
Initial assessment and discussion with your vet to understand the nature and severity of your horses injury and the expectations of the treatment.
Treatment
Defining and execution of the initial treatment plan specific for the injury presented + involvement of the owner through an adapted exercise plan.
Follow-ups
Techniques include:
Rehabilitation:
During the latter stages of rehabilitation, I include a more holistic approach to the specific requirements of the horse in sport.
An example: a weak core strength is a red flag and can cause overloading of the limbs in all equestrian activities. Addressing this will aid the horse to prevent further injuries and enhance its performance.
