It concerns me a bit. The last few months I've known of a few horses who won't go forward, buck off their owners etc and they all say they've had the back/saddle checked but surely having a physio look at a back isn't going to pick up the things that an xray will?
Case in question - girl at the yard has a lovely horse but it broncs and rears constantly at anything faster than a trot. Back man didn't pick anything up. Xray showed that she had broken her pelvis at some point and it was causing her problems.
Just makes me wonder how much faith we put in our physios when they can't possibly diagnose real issues like that?
