If one or more symptomps are observed, an osteopathic therapy is advised:
- inflexibility or stiffness and resistance against any aids of the rider
- all forms of lameness
- after an illness, especially if changes in the locomotor system remain existent
- if the horse doesn't willingly lift hooves
- on onesided posture of the head and/or tail
- neck inflexibility or stiffness, inability to set or bend the horse
- if complications occured when foaling
- after an accident, to treat complications that may not necessarily be obvious
- during times of low performance
- after refusing on obstacles
- in case of lack of responsiveness, tail striking or clock errors
- signs of pain in general
- if chewing seldomly occurs during work
Being a licensed equine osteopath and to ensure the wellbeing of the treated horse I work in collaboration with the vet, blacksmith, saddler and trainer. Of course I only work in close
coordination with the rider/owner.
