Treatment
Initial treatments last approximately 1.5 hours. This allows extra time for a full assessment including history, conformation and locomotion assessment to identify any problem areas.
Treatments are led by the horse and adapted following their responses throughout.
Where needed Myofascial release is also included during Massage Therapy treatments.
A clear aftercare plan including stretches for your horse are provided to support muscular health in-between treatments.

Due to recent (2020) changes in the Veterinary Act as a Musculoskeletal Therapist Elesebeth no longer requires Veterinary approval prior to your appointment, unless your horse is undergoing current treatment or investigation. In these circumstances Elesebeth is happy to liaise with your Veterinarian on your behalf.
If any concerns arise before or during the treatment Elesebeth will refer your horse to your Veterinarian for further investigations.
