Animal osteopathy for horses and dogs, on location

More than symptom-free: supporting movement, recovery and rest, without promising a cure.

An osteopath cannot make an animal healthy. What osteopathy can do is take away what blocks movement, so the body can get on with its own repair.

The four pillars

  1. More
    Performance

    Improving freedom of movement and strength, so the animal can use its whole body rather than working around a restriction.

  2. Less
    Risk

    Regular checks can contribute to injury prevention and help keep an animal in the condition its work asks of it.

  3. Natural
    Recovery

    Supporting the body through every stage of its own recovery, alongside veterinary treatment and never instead of it.

  4. More
    Relaxation

    Reducing tension and stress. Most animals drop their head halfway through a session and stay that way.

About Jeff

Same way of looking.
Different patient.

Years of human osteopathy, now working with horses and dogs. Where movement is restricted, and what the body does to work around it: that question does not change with the species.

“He explained what he saw before he touched anything. Two weeks later she was picking up the left lead again without a fuss.”
Alana Holzbecher, showjumping rider, KWPN mare, 12
“Our dog was walking crookedly after surgery and stopped going up the stairs. One treatment and a few exercises later it was visibly easier.”
Marijke de Vos, labrador owner, 7
“Calm, thorough and honest. When he thought the vet should look first, he simply said so.”
Tom Peeters, carriage driver, Belgian draught horse, 9

Questions owners ask

Do I need a referral from my vet?
Not formally. For anything that looks medical the vet comes first. Osteopathy works alongside veterinary care.
How soon can I ride or walk again?
Usually light work after a day or two. You get concrete advice for your animal at the end of the session.
How many treatments are needed?
Often one or two, sometimes more. I will say so if I do not think osteopathy is the right route.
Which areas do you cover?
On location within the region. Call to check whether your stable or home is inside it.
What is the difference between an osteopath and a chiropractor?
A chiropractor works mainly with short, targeted joint manipulations. An animal osteopath looks at the whole body (joints, muscles, fascia and how they hang together) and works with slower, softer techniques.

Call Jeff.

One short call is usually enough to tell whether a treatment is the sensible next step for your animal.
