Natural Therapies - complementary approaches to health

For your horse...

Using non-invasive methods, these therapies can improve your health - and your horse's!

We have immediate access to the Isle of Wight Natural Therapy Centre for Animals where your horse can be checked over and appropriate treatments discussed with you. Vets specialising in horses are also based there in case of more serious need.

Chiropractic Treatment
Horses can gain a lot from chiropractic manipulation of misaligned bones back into position. This can improve your animal's health, performance and behaviour. It also speeds up recovery from injury and operations. Owners often do not realise that bones may have become misaligned, but may know that something isn't quite right. Trained eyes and hands can then identify problems through posture and gait, and the whole body is treated ensuring that everything is working as well as possible. Used to maintain fitness, it aids performance for working or competing animals, and helps improve quality of life for older pets. We have a leaflet to explain in more detail.

Lavage Treatment
By cooling areas with cold water and applying a bubble massage, we can reduce inflammations to allow better freedom of movement. This is a traditional nursing method for minor horse leg injuries that have been specially enhanced with remedial herbs to help with a range of ailments.

Massage Treatment
By improving blood flow to injured or stressed areas, the increased oxygen available helps to speed up recovery. Advanced muscle technologies
can also tense or relax muscles and tendons, helping them adjust better. And you will see that massage is generally relaxing for animals, just as it is for us!

Other facilities
We also have visiting horse dentists, remedial farriers, saddle fitters, expert saddlers, and a range of specialist therapists in animal acupuncture and homeopathy, etc.
