Holistic horse therapy


Physiotherapeutic and osteopathic care

If you understand the mechanism the treatment is simple

Treatment philosophy:


In my treatments, I use a variety of physiotherapeutic and osteopathic techniques. However, in my opinion, the success of a treatment lies above all in detailed anatomical and biomechanical knowledge and the creation of an emotional connection with the horse. Science, trust and empathy form the cornerstones on which my treatments are based.

The therapy offer:

Osteopathy

Osteopathy is an alternative and very gentle form of therapy for resolving functional disorders. Among other things, the myofascial structures, the organs and the craniosacral system are examined and treated. Osteopathy relies on the body's natural self-healing powers. The motto is: "find it, fix it, leave it".
