On your initial treatment, Sarah will take any medical history symptoms and concerns you may have. This will be followed by a dynamic assessment, analysing any asymmetry and dynamic deficit in the gate analysis - then this will follow with a static assessment which involves a visual assessment of any musculoskeletal asymmetry and muscle atrophy. From carrying out the dynamic and static assessment, Sarah will provide a bespoke treatment plan to effectively treat pain and improve comfort and suppleness. This may include forms of stretches, and in some instances, kinesiology taping.

If there is a suspected, undiagnosed lameness or pathology during assessment, Sarah always refers to your veterinarian.
