Rehabilitate with Us

Rehabilitation is a core component of veterinary physiotherapy, focused on guiding an animal safely and effectively from injury or surgery back to full function. For horses, this means not only returning to soundness but also restoring strength, coordination, and confidence, whether for everyday life or competitive performance.

Rehabilitation is a structured, evidence-based process that addresses the full scope of recovery, from the initial healing phase through to reconditioning and return to work. It’s not just about treating the injury; it’s about treating the horse as a whole.

A Whole-Horse Approach

  • Hands-on therapy to relieve pain, improve mobility, and support tissue recovery

  • Electrotherapies to enhance healing and reduce inflammation

  • Therapeutic exercise to gradually reintroduce movement, build strength, and retrain coordination

  • Ongoing assessment to ensure progress is safe and effective

  • Environmental and management advice to support healing outside of treatment sessions

Collaboration

Rehabilitation is most effective when it’s a team effort. I work closely with your vet and other professionals (such as farriers, saddle fitters, and trainers) to ensure a coordinated, consistent approach throughout your horse’s recovery journey.

Whether your horse is healing from injury, surgery, or managing a chronic condition, rehabilitation through veterinary physiotherapy offers a clear, structured path forward, built on science, compassion, and a commitment to long-term well-being.

Rehabilitation Livery

Based with RPM Equine

We offer rehabilitation livery at our yard—whether your horse requires box rest, restricted turnout, or is ready to begin controlled exercise. Our facilities and experience allow us to take the guesswork out of the rehabilitation process, working closely with your vet to ensure treatment goals are met safely and effectively.

We can support a wide range of needs, including dietary management, hand-walking routines, controlled exercise programmes, and basic medical care such as dressing changes and ongoing monitoring. Each horse receives individualised care in a calm, professional environment to support both physical recovery and mental well-being.
