Equine-Librium, founded in 2007 by Ronel van der Sijde, runs a network of veterinary physiotherapy clinics across South Africa. Our team of 18 fully qualified Veterinary Physiotherapists is spread throughout the country, providing essential care for animals. Veterinary Physiotherapists are key members of the Veterinary Health Tea

m, offering crucial therapy as part of standard veterinary care. At Equine-Librium, our therapists focus on evaluating a wide range of neuromusculoskeletal issues, primarily in horses, dogs, and cats. However, we’re also equipped to assist other companion animals and wildlife. Our Veterinary Physiotherapy services cover prevention, recovery, and ongoing maintenance for injuries, trauma, and pathology. Our goal is to enhance animals’ quality of life, performance, and overall well-being. For competition and working animals, our interventions are vital for injury prevention and ongoing maintenance. Likewise, for pets dealing with orthopaedic issues or recovering from surgery, our specialised therapies are essential. At Equine-Librium, we’re dedicated to improving mobility, strength, and fitness in your animals while reducing pain and stiffness. With our extensive experience, qualifications, and advanced equipment, we ensure that your beloved animals receive the best treatment. Veterinary physiotherapists are trained to treat a wide range of conditions in both dogs and horses. Some common conditions they address include:

In Dogs:
Orthopedic Issues: This includes conditions like hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, cruciate ligament injuries, and patellar luxation. Neurological Disorders: Physiotherapists can help dogs with conditions such as intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), degenerative myelopathy, and nerve injuries. Osteoarthritis: Physiotherapy techniques can alleviate pain and improve mobility in dogs suffering from arthritis. Soft Tissue Injuries: This includes strains, sprains, and muscle tears, which are common in active or athletic dogs. Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in aiding dogs’ recovery after orthopaedic or soft tissue surgeries, such as cruciate ligament repair or fracture repair. In Horses:
Lameness: Physiotherapists can help diagnose and treat various causes of lameness, including issues with the feet, legs, or spine. Back Pain: Many horses experience back pain due to poor saddle fit, muscle imbalances, or underlying conditions. Physiotherapy techniques can alleviate discomfort and improve back function. Muscle Atrophy: Physiotherapy is used to strengthen and build muscle in horses suffering from muscle wasting due to injury, illness, or lack of exercise. Tendon and Ligament Injuries: Rehabilitation programs designed by physiotherapists help horses recover from tendon and ligament injuries, such as bowed tendons or suspensory ligament strains. Performance Enhancement: Physiotherapy can improve a horse’s performance by addressing biomechanical issues, optimizing movement, and enhancing overall fitness.

committed to her patients. Driven by a passion for research and a commitment to
continuous learning, Kirsty stays at the forefront of veterinary physiotherapy, always
seeking out new techniques and innovations to improve her clinical practice.
Kirsty takes a personalized approach to treatment, creating tailored plans for each patient
that not only support recovery but also educate owners and enhance the animals. overall
quality of life. She believes that ensuring owners feel confident and informed is key to the
success of the treatment process.
When she is not working with her beloved patients, Kirsty enjoys hiking with family and
friends or spending quality time with her Golden Retriever, Riley.
We’re excited to have Kirsty as part of our team and look forward to the positive
contributions she will make to our practice and the animals we care for.

PE Veterinary Physiotherapist Jessica Mousley doing super work!

We are so blessed to have had the opportunity to work together with Tenikwa Wildlife Awareness Centre and vet nurse Hanlie le Roux on this special little patient! This little guy has a potential pelvic fracture and nerve damage to his foot. He is currently not able to keep his foot spread and open, and together we came up with a bracing system to spread open his toes and help him to put weight on his foot and maintain a functional range of motion up and till the pelvic fracture is healed and hopefully we can regain some motor and nerve function.
