Physio ISN’T just massage and exercises!

While hands-on work and rehab exercises are a huge part of what I do, my "toolkit" goes much deeper!

As a dedicated animal physio, I focus on the whole patient—treating the root cause of pain and accelerating recovery using evidence-based techniques.

Did you know I can also help with wound healing?

Using advanced electrotherapies like Laser/Phototherapy, I can:
✅ Stimulate cellular regeneration to speed up healing.

✅ Reduce inflammation and minimize scar tissue.

✅ Improve circulation to help wounds close faster.

Whether it’s post-op care, chronic arthritis, or a tricky wound that needs a helping hand.

These two pictures are of Lemony’s wound. She had a sacroid removed and due to the location of it it was taking a while to heal. I was looking after Lemony for a few days while her owners were away so we decided to give phototherapy a try. For 5 days she had a treatment twice a day and you can see how much of a difference it made.

If your horse has a wound that’s taking a while to heal then feel free to get in touch for a chat.

I've loved running the Strong Dog Challenge this week and seeing exactly what a simple exercise such as a sit can tell us about our dogs.

A sit really is so much more than just a sit...
It can tell us if there's musculoskeletal alignment issues, injury, joint issues and what our dogs core strength is like.

Giving us a real insight into our dogs physical wellbeing.

The Strong Dog challenge is a great way for your children to get involved with their dogs.

It’s a 3 day challenge that can be done at a time that suits them. I will be going live every evening and sending out the recording the following day and they will be available for a whole week so they can easily catch up at their own pace.

The exercises are easy to follow and carry out and they can be done outside so you get the added bonus of screen free time.

Here the link to sign them up

Do you want to know exactly what we can learn from our dogs when we watch them Sit, Lay and do a Paws Up?

Have you got just 10 mins to really watch how your dog is carrying out these exercises?

If the answer to these questions is YES then you need to join my FREE 3 day challenge starting Monday 27th April at 7pm.

We will be looking at how our dogs are carrying out these exercises and what is the correct way our dogs should be carrying them out. We will also be looking at what muscles our dogs should be engaging while doing these exercises and what we can do to help them improve their core strength. Resulting in them living a stronger, healthier life.

The growth of your horses foot isn’t just important to your farrier.

As a physio as part of my assessment I always look at the the shape of your horses hooves.

I’m looking to see:
1️⃣ If they are growing out evenly.

2️⃣ The frog looks healthy and is wide, thick and touches the ground.

3️⃣ The sole should be cupped or concave rather than flat. A flat sole is often a sign of poor confirmation or issues with laminitis.

4️⃣ Widest part of the foot, a line should divide the hoof approximately in 1/2, 50% of the foot in front and 50% behind.

An imbalanced hoof can cause:
🐴 Joint stress and degeneration from uneven leading or specific joints impact.

🐴 Soft tissue strain leading to tendon and ligament injuries and long term damage can lead to micro tears, inflammation or full ruptures over time.

🐴 Specific hoof pathologies such as Navicular syndrome, laminitis, abscesses or cracks

🐴 Compensatory body pain resulting in secondary lameness or altered gait.

A day in the life of an Animal Physiotherapist!

It’s not just cuddles, though I get plenty of those and they are a great part of my day.
(Even if the dog in question is bigger than you, weighs 60 Kg and thinks he's a lap dog!!)

A typical day with me involves:
1️⃣ Initial Assessment: Watching a dog or horse walk, trot, and performing hands-on palpation to find hidden stiffness.

2️⃣ Treatment: Using manual therapy, massage, laser or pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) to improve movement.

3️⃣ Tailored Plans: Giving you, the owner, simple, effective exercises to do at home using my faithful software by Equicantis

4️⃣ Seeing Results: Watching a stiff patient moving more freely, a horse that was tight in their hamstrings now enjoying popping over a jump.

I'm incredibly grateful to have the best job in the world — keeping your pets comfortable and active!

You have 10 minutes. I promise. 🐾

We all live busy lives but 10 minutes is the time it takes to scroll your feed, wait for the kettle to boil, or look for where your dog hid their favourite squeaky toy.

What if you used those 10 minutes to transform your dog’s core strength?

My Strong Dog Challenge is designed specifically for busy dog owners. No hour-long sessions, no complicated setups—just 10 minutes of focused, fun exercises that fit into your morning coffee routine or your lunch break.

Small steps = Big results.

Ready to see what 10 minutes can do?
Comment below the word STRONG and I'll send you the link to join my Challenge.

5 Actions you can take today to help your animals during this cold weather.

1. Wash your dogs paws after their walks to remove any salt or ice.

2. Make sure your elderly, young or thin coated dogs have a warm coat on when they go outside.

3. Make sure your horses have access to fresh water, break the ice and remove to prevent the whole bucket/trough from freezing.

4. Bring your small furries inside, either in a room in the house or in a shed. Make sure they have lots of bedding to keep them warm.

5. Increase forage for your horses. Feeding extra hay helps horses generate body heat through digestion.

Save this post so you can come back to it.
