Electrophysical therapies are an important addition to hands on therapies.  Hands on, manual therapies are the bedrock of good physiotherapy, but sometimes we need to be able to penetrate deeper than our hands allow, and often, we want to aid and suport the process of tissue healing and repair.  Electrotherapies and physiotherapy equipment, used in conjunction with good manual techniques allow us to offer the most complete treatments to aid your horses performance, rehabilitation and recovery.
