Performance
Maximise
Physiotherapy can help maximise physical function and movement in sports and performance horses.
Modern sports horses are athletes where fully physical function and mobility are vital for every discipline, from dressage horses, to show ponies, to three-day event horses. Physiotherapy can help maximise musculoskeletal performance through the correct development of the strength, stability and suppleness required for our elite athletes.
​
Bespoke plans can be built around an athlete's training and competition schedule ensuring optimum timing of benefits.
​

​
