✨ Introducing Emily Brownings BSc Bio Veterinary Sciences, PGdip Veterinary Physiotherapy – our new Animal Physiotherapist ✨

Many of you will know I’ve been off work recently while recovering from a sport induced ankle operation. During this time, Emily has been incredibly busy (and brilliant!) covering for me, looking after many of my regular yards and supporting the local horse community — and I honestly can’t thank her enough.
Emily and I have worked closely together for a long time now, and I’ve had the pleasure of mentoring her over the last 18 months since she qualified. She brings a fantastic, physiotherapy-led dynamic to the practice and has already made such a positive impact.

🐴 About Emily:
• Bio Veterinary Science degree from the Royal Veterinary College London
• PGdip Veterinary Physiotherapy (Writtle University)
• Special interest in post-op rehab, evidence-based, tailored rehabilitation programmes, (in-hand and ridden) and deep soft tissue work
• Advance Indiba trained
• Additional modalities including laser and PMFT (Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy)

Most of you will already have met Emily if you attend the clinics, as she regularly works alongside me and supports on my busiest yard days.

I’m so pleased to officially welcome her into the team — Emily is now live on the website and is available for appointments.

📍To book with Emily or find out more, please visit the website or text or what’s app Secretary Janice on 07375 717025

This is a short video George put together showing part of his return to boxing after shoulder surgery. We’re about halfway through his rehab now, and it’s been brilliant watching him rebuild strength, control and confidence session by session.

I don’t usually share much about my work with athletes — mainly because I’m always fully booked (currently a 2–3 week waiting list for existing patients, and even longer for new ones!) — but it’s lovely to give a small glimpse of what we do.

I work at Henfield Chiropractic Clinic, which I originally founded and is now run by the wonderful talented Chiropractor Michelle Brennan. We’ve got a great team of four chiropractors, each with our own approach and specialities:
✨ Michelle is a top class chiropractor keeps everything (and everyone) running beautifully.
✨ Tom Fletcher blends acupuncture and chiropractic with huge expertise.
✨ Katie — qualified two years ago and already an outstanding clinician.
✨ And me — I focus on sports injuries, chronic pain, performance rehab and electrotherapy. I’m often the go-to for patients who don’t like being “clicked” or adjusted, or who are navigating long-term injuries or complex recovery paths.

I love this side of my work — helping people regain function, confidence and connection to their bodies, whether they’re athletes or not.

🩺 As with all my work, treatments with athletes and patients are completely confidential — we don’t usually film or photograph human sessions like we do with the animals. This video was created and shared by George himself to show his own recovery journey. Beating Temper Henfield Chiropractic ClinicINDIBA ACTIVEINDIBA UKCaitlin McCaffery Chiropractor

Another inspiring visit to INDIBA HQ in Barcelona, advancing my training in TECAR electrotherapy, fascia techniques, sports performance, and men’s & women’s health.

I also explored the latest developments in laser therapy, including the innovative K-Laser with four simultaneous wavelengths, designed to deliver consistent tissue saturation throughout treatment.

Always a great experience — and looking forward to incorporating these advances into my practice in the UK. INDIBA ACTIVEINDIBA UK Indiba Animal Health

Treating a bone bruise to the medial aspect of the distal phalanx — also known as the coffin bone — in this 9yo warmblood 💥
We’re using Indiba to boost vascularisation, reduce bruising, and support tissue repair directly at the source.

This clever chap also managed to damage the cells in the coronet band, so we’re working to restore normal growth and prevent long-term structural changes to the hoof.

We’ve added balance board work to stimulate proprioception in the ligaments, activate the neurological chain, and help target appropriate stem cell proliferation — giving the body the best chance to repair exactly where it’s needed.

Rehab is never just about the foot — it’s about the whole horse. 🧠🦴💪

FUNCTIONAL INDIBA
When I use Indiba during treadmill sessions, we’re working functionally — using the horse’s natural movement to guide the treatment in a dynamic and intelligent way.

Think of your horse’s body like a suspension bridge: if one part weakens, the whole structure feels the strain. During treatment, we apply the Indiba current across different diagonal pairings in the body — this can be front to back or side to side — depending on the horse’s conformation, injury history, and discipline. These pairings mimic the forces at work during walk, trot, or canter.

As the horse moves, we essentially “wobble” that suspension bridge — not randomly, but in a targeted, controlled way. The current naturally flows toward the areas of resistance or dysfunction — the spots that may not respond fully to manual therapy alone.

At those points, the current activates a cellular response: the tissue begins releasing proteins that trigger healing and regeneration. The exact proteins released depend on what that particular muscle chain or structure needs — guided by the horse’s unique biomechanics and injury profile.

This allows us to rehab the horse in a very specific, targeted way — supporting balanced movement, reducing strain on compensation areas, and helping the horse return to work stronger, not just rested.

From the track to the show ring — Eagles’ transformation has been a privilege to support. 🐎✨’ve worked with this lovely thoroughbred since he was a 3-year-old in training with . After a pelvic injury early on, I treated him regularly over the years. He went on to enjoy a successful racing career. Galloping in straight lines is a very natural pace for a thoroughbred and avoids the torsional stress on the pelvis and sacroiliac region that schooling work can expose.When he retired and joined , the transition to a ridden career was tough. He found the school overwhelming — particularly canter, where he’d panic and rush. That’s when I was called back in.Our focus: to build muscle, dynamic stability, strength, and trust — with a plan that respected his physical history and mental wellbeing. That meant hacking in straight lines, long slow trots, and plenty of transitions — no pressure, just rhythm and trust and a lot of field turn out. His treatment and rehab provided by myself included chiropractic, physiotherapy, and Indiba therapy, supported by Hannah’s husband Shane Francis Dipwcf Registered Farrier making sure his feet have never been an issue — but the real magic came from Hannah’s patience, consistency, and care. 💛Now they’re out showing, and it’s a joy to see. From the fast lane to the show ring — what a journey!I’m very privileged to be a life long part of many horses journeys. An aspect of my work I particularly value and an advantage of getting old!🐴🐎❤️ Retraining of Racehorses

Another useful article reminding us that spinal growth plates close around 7 years old and how too much training too young damages them.
