Animal Osteopathy GB
 

Animal osteopathy is a holistic approach to manual therapy applying osteopathic techniques traditionally used on humans, to animals. Focusing on treating not just the injury or area of complaint but the animal's biomechanics as a whole. This comprehensive method aims to understand why the injury or dysfunction occurred, prevent its recurrence, and ensure a more optimal prognosis. By examining the animal's overall functioning, osteopaths can identify factors that may have predisposed to the injury or are hindering recovery, thus promoting long-term health and well-being.​​Equine osteopathy is beneficial for any breed of horse, whether used for competition in various disciplines or leisure riding. This approach can significantly enhance the horse's overall health and functionality.

 

Additionally, as a practitioner trained in both human and equine osteopathy, I can provide treatment for riders as well. Addressing any injuries or patterns of dysfunction in the rider ensures that these issues do not negatively impact the horse's ease of movement and overall performance. This integrated approach promotes a harmonious and effective partnership between horse and rider.​Canine osteopathy is suitable for any breed of dog and can address various injury types or serve as general maintenance to prevent injuries and pain patterns.

 

Treatment is beneficial even if the dog does not exhibit any injury or signs of pain. By assessing the dog's overall function and movement, we can identify areas that are not functioning optimally, potentially leading to future discomfort. This holistic approach emphasizes injury prevention, ensuring better long-term health and well-being for your canine companion. As the saying goes, prevention is always better than cure.
