How does a consultation proceed?

Anamnesis-Intake & Interview

Each treatment starts with an extensive interview to get a good picture of the horse and possible complaints. The following aspects are discussed:
✅ Current complaints and performance reduction.
✅ Medical history and previous treatments.
✅ Training intensity, working conditions and management.
✅ Diet and housing.

If, based on this information, there is a suspicion of a more serious condition, the horse will first be referred to a veterinarian.

Static Inspection - Posture & Body Analysis

The horse is observed at rest to gain insight into:
🔹 Posture and weight distribution.
🔹 Muscle development and any asymmetries.
🔹 Swelling, warmth or other external characteristics that may indicate problems.

Dynamic Evaluation - Motion Analysis

The horse is judged in movement at walk and trot, both in a straight line and on a circle. In some cases, an assessment under saddle may be necessary.
Attention is paid to:
🔸 Gait pattern and movement quality.
🔸 Overcompensation or limited range of motion.
🔸 Any irregularities or asymmetries.

If obvious lameness is found that has not previously been assessed by a veterinarian, the horse will not be treated and will be referred first.

Palpation & Functional examination

By means of thorough palpation, various structures of the horse are examined:
✔ Muscle tension, trigger points and adhesions.
✔ Sensitive or painful areas.
✔ Heat differences or swelling.
✔ Mobility and flexibility of joints and tissues

Therapeutic Intervention - Treatment Techniques

Based on the findings from the research, an appropriate treatment strategy is applied. Because every horse is unique, a combination of techniques is usually applied. This way, every treatment is tailor-made for the needs of the horse.

Evaluation - Advice - Guidance

After the treatment the owner receives a personal advice plan, tailored to the findings and needs of the horse. This can consist of:
✅ Targeted exercises and rehabilitation advice.
✅ Stretching routines and warm-up/cool-down recommendations.
✅ Any adjustments in training, nutrition or management.
✅ A treatment plan for any follow-up sessions.

The aim is not only to treat the horse, but also to provide the owner with tools to support the horse's recovery process and performance.

Great treatments!

Caitlin is truly an amazing equine physiotherapist! She takes the time to examine each horse thoroughly and not only looks at the problem, but also at its general health. She also always asks about previous treatments with the vet, dentist and other specialists, so that she gets a complete picture. What I like so much about Caitlin is her calm and friendly approach. My horses immediately felt at ease with her, and her treatments have helped them every single one. One of my horses had a very sensitive back, but after a few treatments and useful tips he really started to move better and even perform at top levels! She also thinks along with the owner and looks together for the cause of problems and the best solutions. A real person with a heart for horses and knowledge of the subject. I can only recommend her!

We love it! 😍

I have had several treatments done by Caitlin. From the first treatment to now, I have seen my horse change into a completely different horse. My mare is now more pleasant to handle and much more flexible! Caitlin has a lot of patience with horses that are a bit hesitant and skittish about what is going to happen. Every time my mare sees her now, she is overjoyed. If you have questions or if your horse is not completely comfortable, I definitely recommend Caitlin! When you send her a message, she answers very quickly and will make time for you and your horse as soon as possible. I am a super satisfied customer and my mare certainly is too!

Great supplements!

I had heard about Equine America supplements for horses, but was pleasantly surprised to find out that they also have a range for dogs. When I spoke to Caitlin about my dogs, I got great advice. One of my dogs is very active, but often had problems with her joints. In addition, both dogs had a dull coat. Caitlin recommended the right supplements and the results were amazing! My dog can run, jump and play again without any problems. In addition, the coats of both dogs have completely changed: shiny, soft and healthy! I am extremely satisfied with both the supplements and the professional advice. And most importantly: my dogs are also very happy with them!

Frequently Asked Questions

How many treatments does my horse need?

The amount of treatments depends on the situation. What kind of problem does the horse have, how long has the horse been struggling with these discomforts? What actions have already been taken?

How long does a treatment take?

A manual treatment takes approximately 60 minutes.

Treatments using only Centropix Kloud last 45 minutes.

The first treatment may take a little longer because an extensive anamnesis is performed.

Should my horse rest after treatment?

It is advisable not to ride the horse for 3-5 days after treatment.

Walking by hand, in the horse walker, in the pasture/paddock or some jogging on the lunge is recommended.

Can any horse be treated?

In principle, any horse can be treated. Young horses, sport horses and older horses can all benefit from treatment.

Some treatments are not performed on pregnant mares.

In certain situations the horse will only be treated in consultation with a veterinarian.
