Kissing Spines also known as overriding or impinging dorsal spinous processes can be a cause of back pain in horses 💥
It is where the normal spaces between the spinous processes of the horse’s vertebral column are reduced causing them to press against or rub on each other.
Kissing Spines is often a cause of poor performance or gait abnormality in horse’s. It is always important to rule out other causes for concern, such as an ill fitting saddle, rider balance issues, etc.
Most horses diagnosed with kissing spines are able to return to ridden work after appropriate veterinary treatment and can be successful managed with ongoing physiotherapy treatment and a targeted rehabilitation programme 💪🏼✨

Fasciculation refers to an involuntary muscle twitch, more commonly known as spasm. This occurs in the muscle fibres and can affect a small part or all of a particular muscle, leading to the inability to relax and 'switch off'.
Fasciculations can occur due to muscle fatigue, pain, damage or over use and it is important when treating horses and dogs that the cause of the fasciculation is addressed as well. Massage and LASER would be our 'go to' treatment options as veterinary physiotherapists.

💪🏻Hydrotherapy for Canine Fitness and Performance Improvement💪🏻
It's a great way for your pet to stay in shape, want to know one reason how?
An increase on resistance on the limbs when working on the underwater treadmill means an increase on cardiovascular system demand meaning stamina and fitness are improved.
