Equine physiotherapy is highly beneficial to reduce risk of injury, recover from injury or to improve performance.
Ellen is specialised in analysing the horse's gait to identify why they are feeling a bit "odd" or why you are struggling to achieve those higher scores.
An assessment may include gait observation on a hard surface and on the lunge, followed by a examination joint range of movement and muscle palpation. Ellen will then recommend a treatment plan using evidence based treatment and in order to work towards your goals for you and your horse.
It is a legal requirement to get veterinary consent prior to the appointment.
