When Equine Physiotherapy?

As a certified Equine Physiotherapist, she believes that horses are too often given up when they suffer from injuries. The treatment is based on a personalized research, specifically designed for each horse. Often exercises are given to maintain the result of the treatment. Regular treatments are possible for a long-term enhancement of your horses' physical capacities.

Émilie is used to treat horses from every discipline at the different sportlevels.

For the sporthorse a regular Sportcheck with adapted treatment is advised.
