01 Sports injuries

There can be several causes of musculoskeletal disorders.

By detecting and treating small deviations in time, larger problems can be prevented.

04Therapeutic exercise schedules (rehabilitation) & training

After an injury, the horse's physical capacity should be increased gradually again. This is done in consultation with the treating veterinarian. An individual exercise plan is set up that the owner can follow at home or that can  be carried out by me.

Also sport-fit horses whose performance needs to be improved or training needs to be refined are welcome!

06 Pre- & Post- surgery

Before surgery, the waiting time can be usefully spent on positively influencing tissue and musculature.

Like this compensations that have arisen can already be treated, which promotes recovery after the procedure.

After surgery, the focus at first will be  pain relief and anti-inflammatory, after which movement therapy is slowly started to restore the mobility and stability of the affected tissue/joint structures.

This process starts after consultation with the treating veterinarian & according to the various phases of wound healing & load-bearing capacity of structures.

02 Riding problems

Problems when riding are often a sign that something is wrong with your horse. Unfortunately they can't 'tell' us, it's up to us to interpret signals correctly and analyze behavior.

05 Trauma & pathology

Horses are big and strong but at the same time very fragile.  Accidents are lurking in a small corner.

After veterinary referral, physiotherapy can support medical treatment in the areas of pain management, elimination of compensatory hypertonia, prevention of atrophy and maintenance and/or improvement of mobility & flexibility.

07 Wound healing

Injuries are common in horses, some more serious than others. A speedy recovery is desirable, but it is also important to ensure that no tissue adheres or that the scar restricts movement.

10 Sports coaching

In order to improve sporting performance, physical limits have to be pushed. It is important to determine exactly where these  limits are for each horse in order to train as optimally as possible. This means less training with more results and less risk of injuries.

03 Neck- and back issues 

The horse's neck is very flexible, which means that muscles and ligaments play an important role in stabilizing it.

Furthermore, it has an important function for the balance of the horse, disorders can lead to reduced mobility or loss of balance.

The back forms the connection between the front and hindquarters and is responsible for the power transfer from the hind leg to the front. The back and core work together according to the string-bow principle. This requires a balance between the topline and the core. Imbalance can lead to very different complaints.

08 Chronical disorders

In conditions that can't be cured, palliative treatment can reduce symptoms such as pain and stiffness, improving the horse's quality of life.

09 Comfort for the elderly horse

An older horse requires a little more attention and care, also in terms of the musculoskeletal system.

By treating pain and stiffness, we can offer the senior more comfort during his last years of life.

11 Neurological disorders 

Neurological problems require special attention to restore the horse's function as well as possible or to ensure that the quality of life can be maintained despite the resulting disorders.
