At Theravet Fife, we provide expert McTimoney therapy to help restore movement, reduce stiffness, and optimise performance in horses. This gentle, hands-on chiropractic approach corrects misalignments in the spine and pelvis, allowing your horse to move more freely and comfortably. Whether your horse is a competition athlete, recovering from an injury, or simply in need of musculoskeletal support, McTimoney therapy can be an essential part of their health and well-being.
McTimoney therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free chiropractic treatment that focuses on realigning the spine and restoring natural balance. Unlike traditional chiropractic techniques, McTimoney is gentle, making it suitable for all horses, including those with sensitivity issues. This therapy helps to:
✔ Improve flexibility and range of motion
✔ Reduce stiffness and muscular discomfort
✔ Assist recovery from falls, injuries, or poor posture
✔ Enhance postural balance and coordination
✔ Support athletic performance and injury prevention
If your horse is showing any of these signs of musculoskeletal discomfort, they may benefit from McTimoney therapy:
Difficulty bending or flexing
Uneven stride or reluctance to engage hindquarters
Loss of performance or resistance to training
Discomfort when saddling, tacking up, or being ridden
Shortened stride or difficulty with transitions
