EQUINE THERAPIES
By working with conscious horsemanship, my main goal is always to improve the horse's well-being. However, I have realized that training alone is not enough to achieve this fully.
Thanks to my studies in veterinary nursing, I have been able to deepen my knowledge of the horse's physical well-being, which is essential for an athlete like them, who uses their body in various activities.
Ongoing physical care is crucial to prevent injuries and ensure good performance.
Behavioural problems, often attributed to a "bad temper," aggression, or lack of education, can be related to pain or physical discomfort.
By addressing these underlying causes, I can help the horse regain confidence and cooperate more calmly. In addition, evaluating the saddle and hooves is essential to ensure the horse's comfort and health, factors that directly impact their behaviour.
Through the application of complementary therapies, such as physiotherapy, osteopathy, and acupuncture, I can improve the horse's physical and emotional health, providing a holistic approach that supports well-being and strengthens the bond between horse and rider.
Therapies
Equine Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is essential for injury recovery and muscle strengthening. I use specific techniques to improve the horse's mobility, reduce pain, and prevent future injuries. Through therapeutic exercises, I work on physical rehabilitation and body balance, providing the horse with greater flexibility and comfort.
Structural Osteopathy
Structural osteopathy focuses on the alignment of the horse's body, treating dysfunctions in the joints and soft tissues. By restoring mobility and balance, I can help correct postural issues and improve performance. Osteopathy is a powerful tool to ensure that the horse moves more naturally and without pain.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient technique that uses specific points on the body to balance the horse's vital energy. This practice can relieve muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall well-being. Acupuncture complements other therapies, helping to restore the horse's physical and emotional balance.
Each horse is unique, and therefore, I do not use techniques in isolation. Instead, I combine them based on the specific needs of each horse, creating a personalized approach that targets their physical and emotional well-being. This adaptation allows me to address the underlying causes of issues, promoting a more effective recovery and lasting balance.
