Physical Therapy for Horses

Physical therapy appointments are tailored to your horse’s specific needs and are appropriate for wellness and preventative purposes as well as for horses with injuries, chronic pain, neurological conditions, post-surgery, and more.

I will work with your veterinarian and others on your horse’s care team to ensure optimal outcomes for your equine!

Each physical therapy appointment includes a thorough head-to-tail assessment, bodywork and exercises based on the horse’s individual needs, and owner education and “homework” to empower you to continue making progress between visits.

Physical Therapy for Equestrians

As a rider, you know how much your balance (or lack of) can impact your horse! Physical therapy appointments are a great option for wellness and preventative purposes, to keep you on track and catching little imbalances before they become big issues in your riding.

As a PT, I can also help you navigate returning to riding after injury or surgery or adapt your riding to disabilities.

Each physical therapy appointment includes a thorough head-to-toe assessment, bodywork and exercises based on your individual needs, and education and “homework” to empower you to continue making progress between visits.

Horse and Rider Sessions

Not sure if it’s you or your horse at the root of the problem? Schedule one appointment and we’ll look at both of you!

These appointments include individual horse and rider assessments as well as a ridden assessment to tease out how horse and rider are impacting each other.

Bodywork and exercises will be prescribed based on you and your horse’s individual needs and you’ll leave each appointment with “homework” to empower you to continue making progress between visits.

This blog post shows an example of horse and rider interactions from a horse and rider session.

Positive Reinforcement Training

Also known as clicker training or R+, positive reinforcement training is for more than just tricks! Help your horse learn to move better, find motivation in training and overcome fears using reward-based training. Clicker training is also an excellent way to keep horses on stall rest mentally stimulated while they’re cooped up!

You can learn more about clicker training before getting started with lessons by checking out my free online course Clicker Training 101

I offer R+ lessons locally at my farm or yours, or virtually if you’re finding me from far away!

Tack Fit Assessment

Not sure if your tack fits correctly? Tack fit assessment is a complimentary service with any physical therapy appointment, or can be scheduled separately.

Rehabilitation Boarding

Need a bit more help to get your horse back on track? Let me do the work for you. Rehabilitation boarding includes bodywork, exercise, hoof care, and R+ training as needed for the horse’s individual needs. Horses will be turned out 24/7 in a herd on a track system unless they require individual turnout or activity restrictions for medical reasons. Space is extremely limited so contact me today if you’d like to get on the wait list!

Virtual Consultations

Get feedback on your horse’s posture and movement with a virtual consultation. Because of the inherent limitations of virtual consultations, these appointments are best for wellness/preventative care purposes or for horses who already have an in-person team in place and are looking to add another set of eyes or some out-of-the-box thinking.

Clinics, Webinars, and Other Educational Opportunities

Can be arranged at my farm or yours! Contact me if you’d like to organize something and we can talk more about the specifics.
