Does my animal need anaesthetising or sedation to have a treatment?

Is the treatment safe for my horse?

The McTimoney chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue therapies that Liz is trained in are all very safe for horses and readily accepted by most, including the older horse.

At the beginning of the consultation Liz will take a full history and this will include looking for any contraindications to treatment.

If during the session any reason indicating treatment is not advisable that day will mean that the session will be reduced and the horse referred back to your vet for further investigation.

Liz uses only her hands to deliver all the therapies to your horse during the consult.
