In preparation for the upcoming season, and as the weather improves and we start to do more with our horses, we'd like to bring you this gastroscope offer for the month of April - please call our office if you would like to take advantage of this fantastic offer with our internal medicine team!

Feels so good to be back behind these ears.

V has inadvertently had a month off ridden work. Why? Lack of time, bad weather, Christmas, frozen ground, dark nights. In the past I would have beaten myself up about any of my horses having just a week off, but having a better understanding of equine physiology has given me peace of mind that she is not going to fall apart without work.

Yes, her numerous pathologies mean that she does need more maintenance work than most, but knowing that I can keep that up through simple groundwork, mobility exercises and stretches means that I don't put myself through the mental torture of guilt because she's not being ridden.

A gentle reintroduction to walk work will soon have her back to being schooling fit and I can relax knowing that all our hard work hasn't been 'ruined' because she had a bit of unplanned time off.

So if your horse has had some time off recently, planned or not, don't worry about it. Just know how to maintain their current condition, and how to bring them back into work without aggravating pathologies or risking injury - a good veterinary physiotherapist should be able to help you with that!

🔈 PAYMENT UPDATE 🔈

💳 BCL Veterinary Physiotherapy will now be accepting card payments! These can be taken via contactless card payments, or contactless phone payments.

This unfortunately comes off the back of a number of invoices not being paid within the payment terms which is then adding to the workload by me having to chase for payments. I have coped with this in the past, however as many of you know I am extremely busy and now no longer have time to be doing this.

This means that I will now ONLY be accepting cash or card payments. Card payments will incur a £1 fee per transaction.

There is a very small number of clients who pay via BACS prior to, or at the appointment. For those who do so I will continue to accept BACS payment however this is not something that I will be applying in general.

On the plus side, this now means I can spend more time focussing on your wonderful animals! 🐎🐕 I'd like to frame this as a positive move forward to enable a smoother financial transaction for both myself and my clients, rather than just a post of me moaning about not being paid!

Lastly thank you so much to those of you who pay on time (which I should highlight is the majority). It makes my life a lot easier.

Taking the new year as an opportunity to reintroduce myself.

✨My name is Bryonie and I am the owner of BCL Veterinary Physiotherapy. As well as being a fully qualified and insured veterinary physiotherapist, I am also an FEI PET (meaning I am verified to be able to provide physiotherapy at FEI competitions), a certified clinical educator providing placements and assessing the next generation of vet physios, and all round animal lover.

🐴 I have a passion for posture, rehabilitation, and groundwork, and work closely with local equine vets, trainers, farriers, dentists, saddle fitters and other equine professionals to provide the best possible results for you and your horse.

🐶 I have a keen focus on exercise prescription as part of your pet's rehabilitation, and believe that small, correct movements can get your pet back to full function in the best condition.

📝 This will be the 6th year of BCL Veterinary Physiotherapy and hopefully the biggest one yet as the business has grown year on year. I have lots of exciting plans in the pipeline, as well as continuing to provide a high standard of veterinary physiotherapy for all of your animals.

⭐ I look forward to welcoming new clients this year so please don't hesitate to get in touch. With premium reviews and successful cases from both clients and veterinary professionals, you can guarantee your animals will receive top tier service.

Side note -

🎂 Pickle (pictured) will be 15 this month! And although losing her sight and hearing a bit she is fit as a fiddle. So hopefully she will be the poster face of BCL Veterinary Physiotherapy for a few more years yet to come.

When you only heard the 'cushion' part of 'wobble cushion'. Sometimes you need a mid physio break 🥱

Just a few of the reviews I got from my last Equine Massage for the Owner course. It's fantastic to get such great reviews, but even better to hear those skills are being put into practice. I still get messages from attendees saying how much their horses are enjoying massage now 🧡

(It's safe to say my lovely models/horses got plenty of lovely reviews too, especially Dillon. I suppose he is a handsome boy)

There are still a few spaces left so if you haven't already, secure your place now by following the link below 👇👇👇

Such a beautiful face. I'm a sucker for a dappled grey 🩶 especially when I get to see such incredible progression and get such useful feedback from owners who are obviously very in touch with how their horse feels.

Get yourself a client that provides a personal cooling system whilst you work ☀️ Adam Brooke - Horse Training

With temperatures soaring today being up into the 20s before 9am, I am very grateful for everyone being able to be flexible to avoid the hottest part of the day, and rearranging appointments.

Manual and electrotherapies in hot weather can just cause hot, uncomfortable horses and when it's pushing 30 degrees it is not in your horse's best interest, and we will achieve not optimal results from your physiotherapy if they are getting too hot during treatment.

✅ As always post physio but even more so in this weather, make sure your horse's have plenty of water available to be able to rehydrate.

For the chance to feature on our page please DM or comment with a photo of your horse/dog and a short review for BCL Veterinary Physiotherapy.

No personal information will be shared, however if you are happy for me to give some brief information of your animal's treatment then that'd be great!

I look forward to seeing all of your lovely creatures faces!

☀️☀️☀️

As much as I am loving this glorious weather, it can end up playing havoc with work. Depending on how well ventilated your stable/barn/yard is some horses are getting too hot to work with at the hottest part of the day. Hot horses can be fidgety and agitated and sweat can make it difficult for manual therapies to be applied.

For this reason, during this hot weather I am contacting all clients prior to your appointment to ensure a cool enough environment is available. If it is not then I am working earlier mornings and later evenings to reschedule people to try to avoid the midday heat.

If you are concerned that your horse might get too hot for their treatment then don't hesitate to let me know and I will adapt as much as possible to suit them.

In the meantime, enjoy the sunshine!!
