Horses are predisposed to many injuries both from work and accidents in the field. These include back conditions due to a weak core, hindlimb lameness or poor saddle fit; tendon and muscle injuries, lameness, nerve injuries and changes in performance and behaviour due to undiagnosed pain. 

​

Equine physiotherapy can therefore be used to help prevent or manage many of these diseases. It aids and enhances recovery following a condition or after surgery, as well as maintenance cases both for the amateur and sports performance horse.
