Stiff behind / not tracking up after lameness / injury

[scoobydoo]

Hi, due to ligament / soft tissue injury on a hind leg our horse has been out of action for 4 months, he is not showing lameness on that leg but still looks stiff behind / not tracking up in walk or trot is this normal after being out of work or should i get vet to look at him again?

He may well require some physio, my horse had several months off due to injury, mainly soft tissue, he lost a huge amount of strength, muscle in the hind leg that was injured, the other leg has tightened up due to compensating so he has been having regular physio since he came back to work with vet checks also to ensure all is recovering as it should be. Progress has been slower that expected despite following the rehab very carefully but he is now almost sound having been in work since April.
