Chiropractic Care for Horses

I offer McTimoney Chiropractic care for horses, using gentle, effective techniques to improve comfort, movement, and performance. My services include assessing your horse’s posture, gait, and musculoskeletal balance, followed by precise adjustments to the spine, pelvis, and other skeletal structures.  I also offer Photobiomodulation (Low-Level Laser Therapy), which can help reduce inflammation, support healing, and enhance overall recovery. Massage techniques are utilised for further soft tissue release. Whether your horse is in competition, training, or a much-loved companion, each session is tailored to keep them happy, healthy, and moving freely for the immediate and longer term.
