Being a vet physio isn’t just physiotherapy.

It’s being the physio, the accountant, the social media manager, the friend, the therapist.
It’s reading research papers at midnight.
It’s driving home replaying sessions, wondering if you could have done more.
It’s the constant self-doubt.
It’s explaining your role to people who don’t quite get it.
It’s chasing endless CPD because you want to be better.
It’s showing up for a full day after losing a patient the day before.
It’s squeezing in reports during every spare minute… even on your “days off.”

It’s so much more than just treating your pet.

Some days are incredibly rewarding. Others are really tough. Lately, I’ve felt that more than ever—because I truly care about every single patient on my books.🤍

Not the normal post… but it’s definitely starting to feel like Christmas ❤️

This time of year there’s a lot to juggle and it’s a hard balance to strike. But a night away to celebrate and dress up was definitely needed ❤️

Pelvic Tucks - 1/2 or full…

When? How? Why?

When: Best done after exercise

How: Make sure your horse is stood square.
Full: find half way between their midline and their hip (picture one) one each side and slowly draw straight lines down (picture 3). Starting towards their lower back will ask the horse to extend through their pelvis, and then as you come to about half way it asks for flexion. These can be split into two separate movements to make it easier.
1/2: standing on one side, with hand on hip, reach over and draw a semi circle towards their tail, which asks them to flex through their pelvis as well as asking for some lateral movement (picture 2)

Ensure with both that the movement is slow and controlled, ensuring that they are comfortable throughout. Check with your therapist prior to attempting these.

Why: these also aid in encouraging core engagement, but it’s not their primary use, however for horses that do not like having their belly touched they are a great alternative. Strengthening and gently mobilising the horse’s sacroiliac joint is important as this flexion is part of what’s being ask for when we ask a horse to bring themselves underneath and engage their hind legs when ridden.

Belly Lifts

When? How? Why?

When: This can be done up to everyday - however only do as often as recommended by your therapist.

How: Make sure your horse is stood square and relaxed. Starting between your horse’s front legs in the middle of their rib cage scratch or rub slowly making your way along their midline towards their belly button. Looking for their back to slowly raise and the core muscles to engage. Hold this for a couple seconds before releasing.

Why: Horses front legs are only attached through muscles ligaments and tendons to their body - called their thoracic sling. Over time and poor posture this can lead to them dropping through their thoracic sling, putting more strain through their back muscles. This exercise not only aids to stretch out their muscles in their back but aids spinal flexion and can lead to improved posture.

If you’d like to know more / have questions please do drop me a message, or check with your therapist if this would be suitable for your horse.

Baited Stretches or carrot stretches….

When? How? Why?

When: these are great, simple, quick exercises which can be done every day!

How: Make sure your horse is stood square. Then slowly lure your horse’s head and neck into the desired location (this can be using treats, carrots or even a salt lick - my favourite! As it stops them bouncing and snatching). Try and encourage them to hold the position for 10 seconds then return to the start. Making sure to watch for them twisting through their poll or bending a leg, in which case just reduced the distance you’re asking for.

Why: they can target muscles through the neck and back to gently stretch them, while also encouraging core engagement and flexion through their spine. When done regularly it can lead to improved flexibility and posture. It can also help with gentle weight shifting when rehabbing from an injury.
