My Story
I am an equine osteopath with a passion for helping to optimise your horses' health and wellbeing. My passion started after observing the benefits of osteopathy for both horses and humans. It sparks my interest in osteopathy as a career so I started my journey at the British School of Osteopathy; completing my Masters in human osteopathy before specialising in animal osteopathy at the Osteopathic Centre Animals.
I now split my time between private practice and my animal work across the South East of England. I feel privileged to be able to help people and animals optimise their health and live pain-free.
Osteopathy uses a gentle, non-invasive holistic approach to treatment with the wellbeing of the horse at the centre. Horses are never rushed, the treatment is completed at their individual pace and force is never used. Finely tuned palpation (touch) is used to identify areas of pain, discomfort or restriction in the horse. Then a unique treatment approach is created for each horse using a combination of cranial, soft tissue, joint articulations and specialist joint manipulations to optimise the horses' biomechanics and reduce the risk of injury. When a horse is balanced and free from pain or restriction, it can then perform at its best. Whether that performance is in the competition ring or just hacking around the countryside.
I work closely in partnership with vets, farriers, dentists, saddlers and other practitioners to address every aspect of the horse; providing a truly holistic, horse centred treatment approach to optimise their performance and wellbeing. Fully qualified and insured you can be reassured that your horse will be in the best hands. For further information please have a look at my website www.cfequineosteo.co.uk or contact me directly.
