Back person needed in Kent, any recommendations??

[VickyH]

Hi, I need to me mare's back checked, only had her 3 weeks but she came with bad feet, an ill fitting saddle, bit that was too small and a tad under weight! We have had her feet done, teeth done, got a saddle and bit that fits so just need to get her back checked now! I am in North Kent (about half an hour from dartford tunnel), she has an old tendon injury and although 100% sound in trot she is not quite right in walk :-/ I've been advised by an experienced friend that this is usually down to a problem in the back/neck/pelvis area.
Any recommendations or advice welcome

ps. I know there is a proper name for a 'back person' but I can't spell it!

Bell Equine has a huge list of recommended physios in the area - Could call them for a recommendation, certainly that's my plan!

If you spoke to then you could ask which specialist would be best, e.g. physiotherapist, chiropracter etc

Thank you! I didn't think of contacting the vets!

I can whole heartedly recommend Tessa Dorrington, a McTimoney chiro (very gentle) based in North Kent, more Maidstone way, but not far!
