• Performance & Prevention Tool - Physio helps maintain suppleness, balance, and performance in competition horses — and prevents injuries through early detection of asymmetries or stiffness.

​

• Supports Injury Recovery - Whether it’s a tendon strain, kissing spines, or post-surgical rehab, physio plays a vital role in restoring movement and strength safely.

​

• Recognising Subtle Signs is Key - A horse may show discomfort through behaviour changes, uneven movement, reluctance to work, or altered posture — signs a physiotherapist can assess and treat.

​

• Hands-On, Whole-Horse Approach - Equine physiotherapists use manual therapy, stretching, in-hand exercises, and sometimes electrotherapy — and may work closely with saddle fitters and farriers too.

​

• Regular Check-Ups Add Value - Just like routine dental care or farriery, physio can be part of regular maintenance, especially in working or aging horses.
