Enhancing Harmony: Expert Equine & Rider Rehab Services

FAQS

Recognizing the Need for Equine Rehabilitation:

Determining if your horse requires rehab can be straightforward, especially if a veterinarian advises it following conditions such as injury, laminitis, or neurological issues. This can be beneficial even during stall rest to maintain muscle tone.

At times, a horse might not exhibit clear signs of injury or disease but could display subtle changes in behavior or performance. For instance, a previously cooperative horse might start to buck under saddle, show reluctance in turning a certain way, struggle with specific canter leads, or show a general lack of enthusiasm and impulsion. These signs could indicate that it's time to consider an evaluation to pinpoint and address the underlying issues.

Rehabilitation isn't just for horses with clear health issues; it's also valuable for rescue horses or those returning to work after a break.

Understanding When You Might Need Rehab:

Your situation mirrors that of your horse in many ways. A healthcare professional might suggest rehab following an illness or injury. You might also feel a general sense of discomfort or "offness" during riding or barn activities, which could be alleviated through targeting issues like back or joint pain, or challenges in maintaining proper riding posture.

Moreover, it's essential to consider that your riding experience might directly impact your horse. If your horse exhibits any of the behaviors mentioned earlier, it might be a reflection of your own physical imbalances or challenges. A skilled rehabilitationist can assess and treat these to improve both your and your horse's well-being.

What to Expect During a Session:

The nature of a session can vary widely based on individual needs.

Typically, a session begins with a comprehensive physical examination and movement analysis of either the horse or rider. This is followed by hands-on therapy tailored to address specific concerns. The next phase involves targeted exercises designed to enhance strength, balance, coordination, and posture. To gauge progress, the session concludes with a brief reassessment.
