McTimoney Chiropractic Services for Horses & Dogs
Just like humans, animals can experience musculoskeletal problems including neck, back or pelvic issues whether they are elite athletes or much-loved couch potatoes.
All animals can benefit from McTimoney Chiropractic either as a regular treatment for general wellbeing and comfort and to help prevent injury or to rehabilitate a specific issue.

Regular McTimoney chiropractic treatments are one of the best ways you can support your horse to work at their best.
What is McTimoney?
McTimoney is a gentle, non-invasive, whole body treatment that helps to realign and balance the musculoskeletal system.
​
Every joint in the body has a natural range of movement which enables the animal to move normally. Sometimes joints can get ‘stuck’ within this range of motion creating dysfunction. Horses and dogs have a very advanced compensatory mechanism; when dysfunction occurs, they need to keep moving.
