Why physiotherapy?

Helping them move

What happens during an appointment?+

We discuss your animal's history, assess their movement and body, provide appropriate hands-on treatment, and explain a practical plan for aftercare.

Do you travel to my yard or home?+

Yes. Featherbed Physiotherapy is a mobile service covering Ireland. Get in touch with your location and we will confirm availability and travel details.

Does my animal need a veterinary referral?+

Animal physiotherapy should complement veterinary care. Depending on your animal's situation, veterinary consent or referral may be required before treatment.

How do I know if my horse or dog may benefit?+

Changes in movement, stiffness, reduced performance, difficulty with usual activities or recovery from injury can all be reasons to enquire. If you are concerned about pain or sudden symptoms, contact your vet first.
