"Hands on" health care and performance analysis

Horses

McTimoney treatment can help relieve horse's pain and restore movement after injury. In the vast majority of cases, owners seek help after a horse has suffered discomfort due to a trauma such as an accident, fall, bump or collision.
 
However problems can also be caused due to issues such as excess weight and, conformation defects, incorrect foot balance saddle fitting issues, or rider imbalance.
 
When to Seek Help?

McTimoney practitioners rely on the owner's observations and the veterinary surgeon's subsequent referrals. Indications in horses vary and most owners will recognise when their horse is in pain, or showing signs of distress. As a guide owners should consider seeking treatment if their animal displays any of the following signs:

  • Unlevelness, especially behind
  • Uneven wear of shoes
  • Sore or cold backs, uneven pressure from saddles or the saddle slipping to one side
  • Unexplained deterioration in usual performance
  • Asymmetry, such as stiffness on one rein, or a disunited canter
  • Unexplained resistances, such as napping, rearing, refusing, bucking, etc.
  • Uneven muscle development or atrophy

 

     

 

In General Other Indications can include:

  • Lameness after a fall or accident where alternative causes have been ruled out
  • Uncharacteristic changes in behaviour, performance or temperament
  • Limb-dragging or odd, irregular action
  • Recurrence of symptoms previously successfully treated by manipulation
  • Absence of any resolution of the problem using conventional methods
  • Rehabitition after acute trauma referred by a veterinarian
