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.
