So I came across her on a headshaking thread, supposedly she does nerve releases. I am aware this may not help but I was looking for a general physio visit anyway. Most people said she was good but there was one poster who said be cautious about her nerve releases and ask your vet first. Is there anything to be worried about. Is she qualified ? I couldn’t see any qualifications on her website

My friend has used her since before she did any of the BTM nerve technique stuff - she's qualified and very good.

She is qualified and extremely skilled, very horse-first and has completely changed the way I look at horses. Not come across another bodyworker with her eye yet.

Just out of interest, what qualifications does she have?

She calls herself an Equine Physiotherapist, but is that a protected title?

I’m an old fashioned old fart, I like to see a professional’s qualifications on their ‘about’ page.
I can’t remember her exact qualifications but we did have a conversation about it and equine physio is definitely a protected title. Otherwise all of the massage therapists could go around calling themselves physios.

Just looked it up. Anyone can call themself an animal physio of any flavour whether they are qualified or not. I am surprised that Yasmin doesn't seem to list her qualifications.




Q) Is physiotherapist a protected title?​

A) Yes, in the human field. No, in the animal sector. “Prefixes such as ‘animal’, ‘equine’ or ‘veterinary’ show there is no intention to deceive because the prefix clearly indicates that the person concerned does not treat human beings” (Health and Care Professions Council (HPC)). So, it is true that anyone can use the title “animal physiotherapist or veterinary physiotherapist” regardless of their training.
We hope this answers any questions you may have. If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact us.

That’s interesting, I’m sure she’ll share her qualifications with you if you send her an email. I know she used to teach at a college as well and is well-respected.

I suppose I don’t give specific qualifications much thought as I’ve had extremely qualified people with all the bells and whistles and ACPAT qualifications give what I deem to be terrible, damaging advice (lunge in a pessoa) and not really help my horse at all. She is definitely qualified and fully insured to do what she does and her work speaks for itself if that is what someone is looking for. It’s not for everyone and it’s not a quick fix.

I find the emphasis on formal qualifications interesting in the equine industry, a qualification alone does not make someone an excellent horse person. My trainers don’t have any formal qualifications because what they do doesn’t fit with any of the current governing bodies, and yet they have a much deeper grasp on behavioural science and biomechanics than any qualified instructor I’ve met. It’s an interesting one but I spend a lot of time doing my own learning and I choose professionals who align with what I know, what I see in my horses, who can answer my questions properly and above all truly put the horse first.

You're probably referring to my post.

Speak to your vet and ask about nerve release and how a physio/anyone who has done the travelling horse witch online course (🙄🙄🙄) who claims they are possible can actually do them.

Ask a doctor.

Ask anyone properly qualified in the medical field if nerve releases can be performed by physios/students of the witch cult.

I'm sure there's a lot of people with trapped nerve pain would love such a quick fix 🙄

She's a vet physio - she was a lecturer on a diploma course I did in equine anatomy.

Nerve release is effectively myofascial release techniques from what I've heard. Nicely branded though!
