Far more sensible to see a vet about it who may or may not advise x-rays. No pracitioner should touch a horse without vet approval for this very reason i.e cowboy diagnosis by untrained people (e.g via the internet)
Far more sensible not to throw your opinion in when you have very few facts!
1. I've owned the horse for 2 years during which time he's gone from unrideable to winning in various disciplines so I must be doing something right and his issues at the moment are barely perceptible unless you know him well
2. Of course he's seen a vet, and surprise surprise they haven't at any point even suggested x rays for tense muscles..! Initially when he had issues with his SI/pelvis they suggested x ray if it wasn't improved by the osteopath, but it was.
3. The osteopath who treats him does so with veterinary approval as required and stipulated by law
