When should you consider physiotherapy?

Animals rarely tell us they are in pain. They tell us by changing: a horse that resists on one rein, a dog that hesitates at the stairs, an older pony that stops coming forward off the leg. Behaviour change is often the first sign of discomfort, long before a limp appears.

Physiotherapy also has a defined role after surgery, where controlled loading protects the repair while rebuilding the muscle lost during rest, and in long-term wellbeing, where regular treatment keeps ageing joints mobile.

The person behind the practice

"I treat the animal in front of me, not the diagnosis on the referral form. That means a plan you can actually keep up with at home — and honesty about what physiotherapy can and cannot change."

Client Stories

Trusted by pet owners across the region

"Highly recommend Megan she worked on Lady Pascha before she went to London international show. What a difference she has made. Pascha looking forward to her next treatment. Thank you Megan xx"
Diane, owner of Lady Pascha
"Megan is brilliant at what she does. My horse Mabel has had vasculitis in a hind leg and from just one session with Megan the swelling has reduced and she is much freer when ridden."
Polly, owner of Mabel
"Megan came to visit to give Brooke a routine sports massage in preparation for getting back out eventing for the rest of the season. Megan was very professional, friendly and talked me through what she was doing. Really happy with the service given and excited to be back out competing again."
Sammy, owner of Brooke
"Megan is fantastic and gave me clear feedback on my pony and what to continue to do. She has a genuine approach and made my pony feel completely at ease before starting to work. Highly recommended, we are booked in again already."
Meki, pony owner
"I have two very happy boys after their massage with Megan. Megan wanted to know their full history which provided a very holistic approach to their treatment, and explained everything she was doing and why. Both boys were definitely more supple and relaxed when I rode them."
Sophie, owner of two horses
"Megan visited Rocky, a 16.3hh Irish Draught. Megan is very professional and makes you feel like she wants the best for your horse as much as you do. She confidently explained every technique she used and was very thorough. Rocky had a lovely relaxing pampering session and we would highly recommend this therapy for any horse or pony."
Gemma, owner of Rocky

Common Questions

Quick answers before you book

Yes. UK law requires veterinary consent before a physiotherapist can treat your animal. If you don't have a formal referral yet, just tell us who your vet is when you get in touch and we'll request it for you before your first visit.

Noticed a change in your animal? Let's find out why.

Most owners come to us unsure whether what they are seeing is age, temperament or pain. A first conversation costs nothing and will tell you whether an assessment is worth booking.
