'structure governs function'

The philosophy behind training encompasses treatment of the whole animal. The body is an integrated unit and each part influences the next, therefore no area is assessed or treated in isolation. A comprehensive knowledge of the anatomy and biomechanics is vitally important, as are skills and experience in observation and palpation.


All fully trained and insured manual therapists have acquired these skills to varying degrees during their human training, but the ability to transfer these skills to the treatment of animals requires a respect for the diversity and magnificently adapted functional anatomy.
"I first met Julia when my star of the show trick riding horse was on and off lame. I had been to the vets, they couldn't find anything really wrong with the horse apart from muscle tightness. So I decided to call Julia. She came out and treated my horse and showed me lots of stretching exercises to help him. He had 2 days rest then a got back on him. He was fantastic, not a lint of lameness and raring to go. I carry on with the stretches and the horse is going fantastically well. Julia now comes out to treat all of our stunt horses giving them a couple of check ups a year to keep them in tip top condition. Every horse could benefit for Julia's treatments and the horses love her!! "
