Providing specialist Osteopathic care for yourself, as well as your equine and canine friends throughout the New Forest and surrounding areas.

Osteopathy can be of great benefit for the health and function of your own body as well as your equine or canine friends, regardless of age, ability or job.

Osteopathy is a non-invasive, holistic treatment approach which aims to relieve pain, restore function, improve performance and minimise the risk of injury. Animals are all unique and therefore all treatments are fully tailored to their individual needs, allowing them to live pain free lives whilst functioning at peak performance and maintain optimal health.

Osteopathic values

The Osteopathic values are derived from traditional concepts and principles of Osteopathy.

The structure of the body governs its function.

This basic principle allows osteopaths to assess and accurately diagnose issues within the musculoskeletal system. This is particularly appropriate in equine work due to the various external demands placed on the horse’s musculoskeletal system. This allows for a holistic approach to Equine health.

The rule of the artery is supreme.

This principle explains that without the circulatory system, the musculoskeletal system would not be able to function. This not only applies to the day to day function of the musculoskeletal system, but also the body’s healing mechanisms.

The body has its own medicine chest.

This principle is important as it underpins all of the others; if the body is not able to repair itself, recovery is not possible without intervention. As animal osteopaths, we facilitate this healing and allow the body repair through its own natural mechanisms. .

As animal osteopaths, it is crucial that we work closely with other professions, especially vets. Other equine and canine specialists such as trainers, dentists, farriers, and saddlers are also important to ensure a holistic and effective approach is applied to every case.

Osteopathy is a highly regulated profession and a protected title, but only if used without a prefix (such as Equine or Canine) – so check your therapists credentials! Anyone can call themselves an ‘Equine or Canine Osteopath’

Testimonials

“Hannah is a friendly and approachable person with a great manner around horses. She has treated two of mine so far and I plan to use her for more in the future. She shows knowledge and understanding in her work and has made a fantastic difference to mine in only a few treatments. I am now recommending Hannah to my friends and clients. ”

— Amy Robbins

“I have been using Hannah for a while now. I have a lot of competition horses, many that are in veterans but are still showing and eventing in their ripe age- Hannah has kept them lose and free moving, giving them the most comfort; they are able to perform higher then many horses their age and the judges do not believe me when I state their age. Without the hard work of Hannah and the continuous support my horses would not be performing at the level they do”
