Equine Veterinary Physiotherapy Services

It can be very difficult for animals to communicate whether they are in pain and often their attempts are misinterpreted as bad behaviour. It can also be hard to determined where the site of pain or injury actually is. Some animal can be very stoic and will mask their pain which can make it very difficult to detect.
