McTimoney for Horses

The McTimoney treatment helps to restore and maintain health, soundness and performance.  It does this by decreasing pain, increasing range of movement where it has been compromised and aiding impulsion.

What causes the problems?

		Trauma (in any form) such as slipping and stumbling, landing badly after a jump, getting cast, kicks, field antics.
		Tack and rugs that do not fit perfectly, particularly saddles.
		Riders that are not perfectly balanced.
		Poor foot balance.
		Repetitive training.
		Teeth Problems.
		Confirmation that causes musculoskeletal compensation.
		Inappropriate intensity of work.
		Old injury compensations.
