I wouldnt be letting this guy within 10 foot of my horses, based on these photos. Such a shame vam if youve had good results using him but these photos would end a professional relationship with someone for me too, regardless of previous results.

Bit unfair to encourage people to search and associate a user with this practice IMO. They might be as horrified as we are to see that. They probably are!

Fair comment. I was so gob smacked that anyone would use such a person that I posted unwisely.

He does say that he uses ‘non-academic techniques’. Not sure that any registering body would be happy to keep him on their books with him going off piste like that.

Some people use the phrase vet physio to mean animal physio but I had mistakenly assumed they were a qualified vet, not the case. So I wonder if that’s the case here too, not a registered vet?

I've just checked RCVS and yes a qualified vet.

Thanks S30, that is ?

Unfortunatley, the title "vet physio" isn't protected, so anyone can call themselves that. Slightly different for animal chiropractors, who must be a qualified vet, or a chiropractor registered with the General Chiropractic Council who has undergone veterinary chiropractic training

Absolutely this.
I'm v lucky to have access to qualified and registered Chiro vet and to a damned good physio.
Mind you, last visit I got told to spend some money on myself too with human chiro, obs this will help. Animals come 1st on the finances tho.... but I must get sorted!

TFF an old chiro of mine used to do the ponies and bring her portable bed with her too, was super convenient and good all round

My human physio (as in she treats humans, not she is human, although she is) specialises in riders and does ridden assessments before treating. She's currently training to do horses as well and will then treat horse and rider together. It makes a lot of sense when you think about it.
