We're not quite half way through yet but Septembers diary is already looking very full so if you do need an appointment this month get in touch ASAP.

Otherwise we look forward to October, the start of 🍂.
As the nights🌃 start drawing closer and the ground gets muddier 🙈 this is just a little reminder for my 🐴equine clients that if you don't have💡lights let me know and I can bring some🔦 as whilst I don't need to see to feel the muscles💪 I do quite like to see the pretty ponies.

Also if your horses legs🐴🦵 are muddy please bring a towel so we can clean🧽 them up a bit, not looking for them to gleam 😂it just helps me keep myself and all my equipment a little cleaner and tidier, whilst I'm good with the mud and dirt I don't like trapsing it to other yards or worse, inside the home 😬.

Thank you to each and everyone of past and present clients for making this career possible.

Being a Veterinary Physiotherapist is something I've wanted to do since I was 15, a decade later and I'm 2 years into doing it.
Took a lot of hard work to get here but I absolutely love doing physio, might not like being my own boss as much as I throught I would 😂, but certainly wouldn't change the job.

Thank you all again.

Beautiful (but very humid!) day today 🥵
It was lovely catching up with familiar clients and meeting some new ones. We even got in a taping session!

This one focused on decompression taping around the glutes/hips great for supporting mobility and easing tension in that area.

I’m working on getting better at capturing photos of these moments, especially the taping work. This particular one was done without a stool, so no overhead view, but I’m quite pleased with how centered it mostly turned out 😂

Back in May, I attended a brilliant CPD taping course hosted by Sussex Equine Massage Therapy. It was incredibly informative and really helped deepen my understanding so great to be putting that knowledge into practice now!

Oh my 🥰. Thank you to whomever nominated me. Email was a bit of a shock 🙈. Whilst not a finalist it's great to see people are obviously benefiting from my services 🥰.

🐴✨𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈𝐭 𝐈𝐬 & 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐈𝐭 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐬!✨🐴
Have you heard of TENS therapy for horses?🐴
This non-invasive, drug-free treatment was originally developed for humans — but it's now a popular choice in equine care too!

💡𝐅𝐮𝐧 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭: The idea behind TENS goes way back!. Ancient Egyptians and Romans used electric fish to relieve pain. Thankfully, things have evolved since then and the first modern TENS unit was developed in 1974, making pain relief a lot more comfortable and importantly controlled compared to a shock from a fish! ⚡😅

🔌 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐒?
TENS uses low-voltage electrical currents delivered through small electrodes placed on the horse’s skin, targeting nerves and muscles. These gentle pulses help block pain signals and stimulate endorphin release — the body’s natural painkillers.

🤔𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐈𝐭 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤?
The electrical impulses:
🧠 Interrupt pain pathways to the brain
🩸 Increase blood circulation
💆‍♀️Promote relaxation of tight or sore muscles
🏥 Support healing of soft tissue injuries

🏇 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐒 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬:
✅ Pain relief for back, neck, or joint issues
✅ Reduced muscle tension and spasms
✅ Enhanced recovery after training or injury
✅ Improved range of motion and comfort
✅ Ideal for performance horses AND those on stall rest

🌱 Regarding what your horse does, whether they are an athlete or aging gracefully, TENS therapy can be a valuable part of their wellness routine.
