This appointment is designed for fit and healthy animals who are competing or working and you would like to maintain or improve their performance. It is also suitable for an animal whose performance has decreased slightly but has no obvious lameness or pain. An assessment will be carried out as outlined below:

Static Assessment (standing animal still)
-
Dynamic Assessment (walk and trotting in a line)
-
Manual Assessment (assessing tissues and structures)
-
Treatment (massage, stretching, electrotherapies etc)
-
Rehabilitation Plan
-
Demonstration of required exercises
After the session I will discuss the areas of concern and how the plan will target them. We will discuss what aims you would like to achieve from the sessions and we will design a plan to target these.

READY
What to know before appointment.
As you have been registered prior to this appointment I will not require any forms for your appointment. However I may contact you prior to the appointment if I need an additional insurance form.
​
When you aim to increase performance through these sessions it is important to provide a full, in-depth understanding of the animals current training and current achievements. I need to know why you feel the animal could improve and it is extremely important to be realistic with your expectations.
​
Please keep record of your animals progression throughout the plan, a diary is a brilliant way of documenting any improvements, difficulties, behaviour or regression. I will ask for an update at the beginning of each session to make sure the plan is suitable and if not I can tailor it.
