Equine veterinary physiotherapy plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and performance of horses, aiding in their recovery from injuries or surgeries, and contributing to their overall quality of life. It involves the application of various physical therapies to aid in the rehabilitation, maintenance, and improvement of performance in horses. 

​

Equine physiotherapists work in collaboration with veterinarians, farriers, saddle fitters, nutritionists and trainers to create comprehensive treatment plans tailored to each horse's individual needs. This could include rehabilitating injuries, managing chronic conditions, optimizing performance in competitive horses, or supporting the overall health and well-being of horses across various disciplines.
