who should I have to look at my horses back?

[Henny]

Hi, I am having a few issues with myhorse and I want to get his back checked. What should I be looking for, physio/massage/ mctimony? Also any reccomendations for Surrey.

Thanks

I'd go for McTimoney, then maybe get the McTimoney person to recommend someone who does massage and have that done too (but then my horse are spoilt!). Don't know anyone in Surrey, sorry

I'd second the McTimmony.
Firstly I rang a physio/massage lady who said it was better for the muscles to be released before the mctimmony person came as anything Mctimmony did could cause more problems if the muscles were already in spasm or tight etc. It made sense and it was reassuring to see what the physio lady said. She found three little hot spots but said it was nothing to explain why he was 'out of sorts' so I was happier getting McTimmony after that. The difference mcTimmony made was huge. He was all freed off after that and back to normal.

McTimoney, definitely. i'd tried osteopaths before, but McT is waay better for horse and human imho.

I use Scott McGuinness from Lingfield Equine Vets to do mine He's very good with backs and treats the whole horse
