Thank you for such a wonderful review. Such a dedicated owner and riding school. The horses at Princess the unicorn and friends were incredibly well behaved and very rewarding to work with🥰

A superstar🤩Handsome boy Flynn recently returned to Flyball following a hip flexor strain.

Flynn took his rehab slowly and has just returned to competitions - he even received rosettes for his first one back!🏅

Results like this make slow and steady rehabilitation all worth it. By not rushing his return to Flyball we were able to ensure full recovery and also further strengthening to allow for the best start. Things we love to see🤩

Poll tension - is your horse head shy? Does your horse wince when you palpate behind their ears? Is putting a headcollar/bridle on harder than usual? Is brushing this area generally avoided? These could be signs of poll tension💆🏽‍♀️

This little angel was sore when light pressure was applied behind her ears in the poll. By using my PEMF I was able to soften the tension and provide some pain relief in order to allow me to follow this with a massage. Often going straight in with manual therapies can be slightly tricky and sometimes the use of a tool like PEMF can make the whole process a lot easier (and a lot less painful!)😌

Oh and small animals enjoy this machine too….swipe for proof😴A selection of applicators for different needs📝

A lovely chilled session for some myofascial release💆🏽‍♀️

This gorgeous girl relaxed into her session where I focused on releasing stubborn trigger points and tight bands of fascia under her scapular🦴

Scapular tension is a common occurrence in all animals which can significantly restrict movement. A maintenance treatment every few months can maintain supple muscles with reduced tension in order to have your pet moving and feeling their best💪🏽

The ✨Fascial Edge✨tool - a new addition to MVP🤩

The fascial edge tool can be held over the target muscles with a relaxed hold to release tight fascia. The tool has a curved edge that works as an extension of your hands to apply even pressure over the muscles📐

Animals experience pressure through their vital chain of tissues and muscles during various activities like being ridden, going on hard walks, or even just in daily life activities. This can become sore overtime🤕

Regular massage can reduce tension, break up fibrosis and encourage good circulation within the tissues. The fascial edge tool achieves all of this much easier and more effectively than just manual therapies alone🧐

Contemplating.... and a wonderful execution🐈

Not sure what to do with your poles? There isn’t a wrong answer!🤓

This handsome chap takes on all possible pole patterns💪🏽From random scatter poles and labyrinths to triangular raised poles with corners to weave through.

Oh, and don’t forget the bribery💰🍫🍪🍩🍭

A recent review from one of my amazing clients🥰

I work with you and your animal to find the best solution for each individual. A tailored approach is always best🐕🐴🐈

An array of tools for an array of rehabilitation needs🐴

H-wave therapy - a handy tool for softening all spasm and tension in muscles. Here I started my treatment with this tool to soften the superficial muscles in order for me to target any stubborn trigger points manually after💆🏽‍♀️

Laser therapy - for reduced stifle mobility and reducing the effects of arthritis. This promoted healing and blood flow in order to reduce pain and inflammation within the joint💪🏽

These are just two examples of modalities that MVP carries🤓

By utilising different tools for each scenario MVP is able to provide a full, tailored physiotherapy session in order to have your pet feeling their best.

Does my butt look big in this?🍑

This is a picture I took recently from behind a horse who is “struggling on one rein”.

Subtle weaknesses can go on without being noticed for some time. This can often lead to pelvic asymmetries or significant differences in muscle coverage on each side📐

In this picture you can see the gluteal coverage on the left is far more narrow but higher in the middle - suggesting the middle gluteal muscle is regularly engaged. On the right side the gluteal muscles appear wider in comparison (particularly through the superficial gluteal muscle) and slightly dropped away (atrophied) over the top aspect of the pelvis (middle gluteal muscle). The hamstrings on the R appear bigger in mass than the L side. This suggests that this horse is engaging his R hamstrings in order to ease pressure through his R middle glutes - a sign of a weaker side.

This horse has recently come back into work after an old injury that has been rehabbed and is slowly learning how to use his body correctly again. They often find one side easier to use/engage than the other🤕

The pelvic asymmetry here is caused by differing muscle bulks and appears as a right hindlimb hip drop in dynamic assessment🐎

This horse was sound but stiff through his R hind - but this can all be explained from looking at his static posture alone!🐴

Laser therapy⚡️

Laser can be used to heal and relieve pain of many conditions, some of which include:

- Muscle, tension and ligament injuries
- Wound healing
- Degenerative disc disease
- Swelling and inflammation

In this picture Kaya is enjoying laser therapy using an infrared probe to reduce tension beneath her scapula - this can sometimes restrict forelimb protraction (generally making movement tricky/tight)💆🏽‍♀️

If you feel your pet could benefit from laser therapy feel free to drop me a message💌
