Rachael Brown Equine Chiropractor Experienced McTimoney equine chiropractor and massage therapist (MSc, BSc) Horses can suffer from musculoskeletal discomfort in the same way that humans do.

Common problem areas include the neck, back and pelvic region and if left untreated discomfort in these areas frequently results in stiffness, reduced performance and uncharacteristic behaviour. The McTimoney technique is a holistic treatment which aims to relieve musculoskeletal discomfort by realigning and rebalancing the musculoskeletal system so that optimum health, comfort, soundness and perf

ormance can be restored. The treatment itself is extremely gentle and uses high speed adjustments to help release muscle spasm and stimulate correct alignment of the skeleton. In addition to the McTimoney technique, my treatments also use a combination of massage to help relieve muscle soreness and improve circulation, and passive stretching to help maintain full range of movement. Signs of musculoskeletal discomfort in horses include, but are not limited to, uncharacteristic behaviour such as bucking, rearing, a reluctance to move forward, spooking, an unlevel or uneven gait, asymmetry such as a stiffness on one rein or muscular asymmetry, disliking having the tack on and/or fidgeting when mounted. Prices are £60 for a horse/pony. Group discounts may be available for group bookings of 5+ horses/ponies at the same location. Please contact me for more information. Please note the treatment of animals is regulated under the Veterinary Surgeons Act (1966) therefore it is a legal requirement that Veterinary approval is obtained prior to the treatment of any animal. This can usually be obtained over the phone – many vets are aware of the benefits of complementary therapies such as McTimoney and are willing to give their approval provided the treatment is carried out by a qualified individual.

ASA VET ORANGE 🍊 ADVANCED VETERINARY LASER THERAPY

I love this piece of equipment 🤩 The vet orange is a class 4 laser with a high power output (peak power 75w) and a built it pulsed function. This means it can reach deep into the tissues, whilst being completely safe to use.

🍊I use my vet orange laser regularly when I’m treating to help relieve muscle tension and treat trigger points within the muscle fibres. It can also be used on acute injuries such as tendons, ligaments and wounds, to help reduce pain and inflammation, and encourage tissue healing.

⏱️The high power output means that treatment times are really quick, making it a very efficient piece of of equipment.

Merlin definitely approves🐴

❓WHAT CONDITIONS CAN BE TREATED WITH LASER THERAPY ⬇️

Laser therapy works to reduce pain and inflammation, and encourage tissue healing, making it a worthwhile treatment for a variety of both acute and chronic problems.

💥 I often incorporate laser therapy into my treatments to help soothe muscle tension and treat trigger points within the muscle. However, this is just one of multiple conditions that can be treated with laser therapy.

Examples of other conditions that can be managed with laser therapy include:-
✅ Osteoarthritis
✅ Back pain/disorders
✅ Tendon and Ligament injuries
✅ Wounds
✅ Skin Disorders
✅ Post surgical swelling
✅ Laminitis

I just love feedback like this 🤩

This horse had a course of laser therapy to help with some muscle tension, in addition to her usual maintenance treatments, and her owner felt a clear difference afterwards 🐎

⚡️ I include laser therapy as part of my treatments, and in some circumstances I may recommend it as a sole treatment to combat a specific problem area.

⚡️DID YOU KNOW I NOW OFFER LASER THERAPY⚡️

Laser therapy can be used to reduce inflammation and accelerate the bodies natural healing process.

❓HOW DOES IT WORK (the science bit 🤓)
The laser is placed in direct contact with the skin, enabling light photons to pe*****te the tissue and interact with molecules within the cell.

This causes several biochemical effects within the cell, a process known as photobiomodulation.

THE RESULTS…
✅ Increases the temperature of the tissue which has a soothing effect.
✅ Increases vascular supply to the tissue.
✅ Provides energy for cell repair.
✅ Reduces the transmission of pain signals.

Laser therapy can be incorporated into your horses overall treatment, or when appropriate it can be offered as a stand alone treatment.

Some lovely feedback after one of my recent dog clinics 🐶

Roo came to me for treatment following a nasty accident which left him with 2 fractured neck vertebrae. During his veterinary treatment they also found he had arthritic changes in his spine.

His treatments comprise of some gentle manipulation (avoiding any areas affected by his injury) and massage, along with laser therapy.

His owner saw a clear improvement after his initial session and he’ll be back at my next clinic on Tuesday 26th November, to further check his progress 🤩

I hold a a monthly dog clinic at Tanglewood Dog Grooming Spa, near Ludlow. It’s a lovely, calm space and can accommodate dogs of all shapes and sizes!

It’s good to know that Bonnie was feeling chilled after her session the other day 🤩

Most horses really relax and enjoy their treatments and the great thing is that the benefits of a chiropractic continue even after the initial feeling of relaxation!
