Chiropractor & physio???

[jotesh]

* Sorry if this is not competition riders but hoping to get competition riders views*

Following a sacrilliac injury to my horse over the winter, on advice of my vet I have been using bowen therapy and physio to get her right. She is fully recovered now but I feel that she needs her pelvis looking at. I am a little worried that this may impact on the muscles detrimentally and the work that has been done to get her right (I am a bit of a worrier!). Apart from that I do not really want to pay for both the chiropractor and the physio to both come out...

I am wondering if specialists exist that do both??? ie work with muscle and bone. And if they do can anyone recommend someone in the Worcestershire or surrounding area??

Thanks in advance

This lady should be able to help, I've not used her but hold the combination of McTimoney and massage in very high regard and this lady does both!

If she is fully recovered why do you think her pelvis needs looking at? Is this something that a physio or chiropractor have mentioned before?

It is something that the vet actually advised once the muscles were strong enough to hold it in place. Plus through riding and jumping her I feel that she needs it aligning
