What to Expect

Case History
During our initial visit, we will review any relevant medical history and discuss your goals and aspirations for your animal.
Bio-mechanical Assessment
​A comprehensive biomechanical assessment will be conducted, which includes careful observation and analysis of your animal while standing, walking, trotting, and turning. For equine clients, it may be helpful to observe the horse being lunged or ridden, though this is not always necessary.
Hands on Assessment
Refined palpation techniques will be used to physically assess the muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons, identifying areas of dysfunction, imbalance, restrictions, or pain
Treatment
Following a thorough examination and analysis of the findings, the most suitable physiotherapy techniques will be chosen to tailor the treatment to your pet's needs. This may include electrotherapy treatments if deemed appropriate.
Aftercare and Exercise
We will provide complete aftercare and exercise recommendations, along with any beneficial stretches for your animal. Throughout the treatment, we will also explain key aspects of your animal's anatomy to help you train them correctly, optimising their biomechanics and promoting a longer, healthier career.
