Post-surgery rehabilitation for horses is a critical phase in ensuring a successful recovery and return to optimal performance. After surgical procedures, horses often face challenges such as muscle atrophy, joint stiffness and reduced mobility. Physiotherapy plays a vital role in addressing these issues through tailored rehabilitation programmes.
Techniques such as gentle stretching, controlled exercise, laser therapy and ultrasound therapy are employed to enhance circulation, promote tissue healing and improve range of motion. Physiotherapy also helps in managing pain and inflammation, thereby accelerating the recovery process.
By providing structured and gradual reintroduction to activity, physiotherapy ensures that the horse regains strength, flexibility and functionality, minimising the risk of complications and supporting a smoother and more effective recovery.
