The gorgeous Razzo really testing my arm strength during his treatment last week 😂
Razzo’s owner came to me last autumn to ask for help with a hindlimb weakness, following veterinary investigations. Upon initial palpation, Razzo had a very large pelvic rotation and tilt on the left hand side, which linked with his left hind limb weakness. He also had increased sensitivity through the left hand side of the neck and back, with a lateral restriction through the neck to the right hand side. Interestingly, Razzo had worked as a carriage horse for many years - and liked to be worked on the right hand side of the pair. Many carriage horses will turn in to their partner when working, so it is likely that this way of going had influenced Razzo’s skeletal misalignments and weakness.
He continues to have regular maintenance treatments with myself, and as you can see he LOVES it - excited to see what the future holds for this gentle giant 🐴

Venus testing out our competition prize Handsfree Handling 🐴 I’m so pleased with it 🙏
She worked out very quickly that she could rest the muzzle on something and the lick would be within even closer reach to her mouth 😂
This is going to be so useful for her chiropractic treatments, as she tends to get bored after a while if there isn’t another human around to entertain her! She loves these licks, and sometimes having it on the floor makes it difficult for me to do my job, so a mobile version is perfect!! The head collar is so pretty by itself too 🤩
Merry Christmas to all those celebrating 🎄
I feel very blessed to have had such a busy year, meeting lots of new animals (and humans!) and getting to do what I love 🐶🐴
This year I had my first article published, discussed topics over on the MAA podcast, sponsored a wonderful equine team (Larkrise Farm!), attended many shows (thank you to my mum for her patience and support with the trade stands 💃🏻) and introduced Low Level Laser Therapy into my treatments.
What a year! It truly wouldn’t be possible without everyone’s support and recommendations, thank you so much for supporting me and my small business ⭐️
Here’s to an even busier 2024 (with hopefully fewer traffic jams 🚙)

⭐️ FAQ FRIDAY ⭐️
How might my animal react after treatment?
Many of the animals I see feel quite sleepy after their treatments, a bit like us when we go to the spa! It’s so important that we allow them the time they need to process the changes initiated through chiropractic treatment 🦴
The relaxation is quite contagious, as you can see in this video 😂 He was lining up to be treated next! 💆♀️

⭐️ FAQ FRIDAY ⭐️
How do you assess horses for misalignments? 🧐
After taking a full history and watching the horse in hand I’ll do a full body check for skeletal misalignments, starting from the first cervical vertebrae and then working my way down to the pelvis and back through the spine 🦴
I recheck the misalignments before each adjustment is made, as a correction in one area of the body is likely to cause a change in another area. It’s also great for me to feel any associated soft tissue tension and whether this has been released following a chiropractic adjustment, or if further massage is required 💆♀️
This video shows me checking Venus for misalignments before her treatment a few weeks ago 🐎

There’s no FAQ Friday today as we had a very exciting delivery to keep us busy! I can’t wait to share more information about the additional service I’ll be providing very soon 🥳
