Animal osteopathy

The discipline

What it is and how it may help

In animals, the assessment starts with observing posture and movement and goes on to palpation. The practitioner identifies the most suitable approach (musculoskeletal, visceral or fascial) according to the animal’s needs, working alongside the animal’s veterinary care.

Treatment takes place directly at the facility or place where the animal is, by appointment. Available for riding stables in Italy and abroad.
