The physiotherapeutic treatment of your horse
Horses are real miracles of compensation. They often silently carry problems for a long time, which only show up much later - sometimes in completely different body regions Treatment is therefore to recognize these problems at the beginning and to prevent them so
For this reason, it is advisable, especially for horses, to have a physiotherapeutic check carried out regularly.
Typical symptoms and disorders of the musculoskeletal system for which physiotherapy is indicated:
Lameness / stumbling / unsteadiness
chronic tension
Muscular imbalances
Osteoarthritis / arthritis
Loss of mobility / joint blockages
Tendon problems, Fesselträger
drop in performance
Pain when saddling or riding/problems with rideability
neurological diseases
postoperative rehabilitation (e.g. muscle building, scar treatment, processing of the compensation posture)
Hoof deer (leech therapy)
Prevention, and much more
course of my treatment
It is important to me that I help your animal holistically. Because diseases in the musculoskeletal system are often linked to organic or systematic problems and vice versa. That's why I make sure in my work to perceive your animal as a whole.
FIRST TREATMENT
​
When I first get to know you and your animal, I take a lot of time to examine your horse closely and feel for blockages. Experience has shown that this appointment lasts between 90 and 120 minutes.
At the appointment I carry out a complete initial diagnosis including a detailed anamnesis interview, a gait analysis and the joint diagnosis. This is followed by the development of a therapy plan tailored to your animal and, of course, the treatment.
FOLLOW-UP TREATMENT
​
The subsequent appointments focus on the treatment. Therefore, depending on the type of therapy, these appointments take between 45-60 minutes . The progress of the therapy is checked and, if necessary, the therapy plan is adjusted.
​
Follow-up treatment is always agreed individually and unfortunately cannot be booked online.

TREATMENT INFORMATION
​
In order to make the appointment as pleasant as possible for you and your horse, please note the following Information: I schedule 60 minutes per treatment per horse, in some cases it can However also take longer. For safety reasons for therapist and horse, I do NOT treat in the stable lane and also NOT in the box. A hall, riding arena, lunging ring, round pen, etc. would be ideal. Please discuss this with your stable beforehand.
My forms of therapy
I use the following services in the therapy of your animal .
physical therapy
Physiotherapy involves manual measures in which blockages are released in order to restore the body's ability to move and function. Targeted stimuli are set to support the body in healing itself. These include u.a.
classic massages and manual therapy
fascial treatment
Stress point massage nach Jack Meagher
Dry needling
Beim Dry Needling werden besonders verhärtete Stellen der Muskulatur - sogenannte myofaszialer Triggerpunkte - mittels Akupunkturnadeln behandelt.
It is a special acupuncture technique. The needle stimulates the oxygen supply to the tense muscle fibers and fascia and improves blood circulation. In this way, the tension can be released permanently and sustainably.
laser therapy
During treatment with laser light, bundled rays of light penetrate through the skin into the underlying tissue and muscle structures, where they activate cell regeneration. It is mainly used for muscle and tissue injuries and can have a pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory, decongestant and tissue-healing effect.
leech therapy
The treatment by leeches goes back to a thousands of years old tradition. Valuable anti-inflammatory substances such as eglin and hirudin are released into the body through the release of saliva when the leeches are applied.
Leeches can be used for acute inflammation and chronic symptoms (arthrosis).
physical therapies
I increase the effect of the manual therapy treatment with various physical therapies, such as:
Electrotherapy (low frequency)
Magnetic field therapy
thermotherapy
Supportive Therapies
Following my holistic concept I also offer the following forms of therapy: _cc781905-94cf5cf5bad
