Personalised Veterinary Physiotherapy and Hoof Boot Fitting for your beloved animals
What is Veterinary Physiotherapy?
-
Veterinary Physiotherapy adopts a holistic approach through functional assessment of their patients, allowing them to identify areas of pain, weakness or loss of function/performance.
-
It is a non-invasive approach to treating musculoskeletal injuries or disorders as well as neurological deficits, enhancing performance, aiding in pre- and post-surgical intervention as well as promoting quality of life.
-
Veterinary Physiotherapy is based on clinical reasoning and involves working alongside other professionals to create the most effective treatment program for the individual.
​
-
Each treatment is personalised to the needs and circumstances of the individual to promote an optimum and pain-free lifestyle.

Benefits
Performance
Performance tends to focus more on specific areas to ensure optimal performance, this may include strength training, endurance, agility, flexibility etc. alongside prehabilitation. This would be utilised more so in animals used for performance purposes and competition.
Maintenance
There is some overlap between performance and maintenance but maintenance physiotherapy is often to ensure your animal remains fit and healthy preventing objectively measurable deterioration, sustaining or improving quality of life.
Rehabilitation
For performance and maintenance veterinary physiotherapy sessions click HERE for the 'Owners Consent to Treat' form.
Rehabilitation should start as soon as possible following injury or diagnosis of a condition. Ideally we want to return the animal to full functionality of the affected area and other compensatory areas, ensuring any pain is managed. Rehabilitation sessions are likely to be more frequent than maintenance or performance sessions.

What are Hoof Boots?
Comfort, protection, and confidence in every stride.
Hoof boots are a versatile alternative to traditional horseshoes, designed to protect and support barefoot horses. Whether used for rehabilitation, turnout, hacking, or competition, they help reduce concussion, prevent injury, and accommodate hoof pathologies — all while allowing the hoof to move and grow naturally.
​
At Alpha Animal Physiotherapy Ltd., we offer expert Hoof Boot Fitting tailored to your horse's unique needs and lifestyle. We’ll help you choose the right boots, ensure proper fit, and provide guidance on safe, effective use. Because a well-fitted hoof boot isn’t just gear — it’s a step toward healthier movement and improved wellbeing.
Step 1:
Book your appointment date and time (ideally within 2 weeks of a trim to ensure the best fit for your new Hoof Boots)
Step 2:
I will visit your horse, discuss yours and your horses needs and preferences depending on workload/type. Using my 'Fit Kits' I will determine the best brand and sizing of Hoof Boots.
Step 3:
I will place the order for your Hoof Boots that evening and they should arrive in 2 working days (not guaranteed) to your home address. Follow up discussions and questions are welcome as part of the fitting.
